Let me make a quick prediction as to the first 'over-served' patron ever kicked out of the SEZ!
IMO, those chair backs would be great if we didn't already have some existing. Needs to match.
We don't want different classes of chair backs. Imagine the bitchin' and moanin'
Why not order the same chairbacks from the previous vendor?
Here's a pic when we power washed/sealed the stadium, got a video board, and replaced the chairbacks. The rows are the same as the others except with different seating.
And this would be new because...............
Same song, second verse... Just saying no additional motivation needed.
I have a small folding chairback that I purchased from the TECH bookstore and use it on my reserved bench seat. Works just fine for me and I'm not bumpimg my knees on any chairback in front of me.
So, with the risk of running off long time supporters if we upgrade their seating and charge more, should the box seating be put on hold in favor of press box upgrade? Do we have enough people on a waiting list that would be willing to pay a third more than end zone seating costs to get in the press box seating? I don't know what the cost would or should be, but I anticipate those upgraded seats at mid field to be higher than an end zone.
No risk. If the people who are getting paid to do this do their jobs everybody will be happy. It's not like they are dealing with hundreds of upset fans. My guess is less than 50 season ticket holders might get their feathers ruffled, but none of them would quit on us unless they were insulted by our sales people. Kicking the can down the road is what we've done in the past. I don't believe Dr. Guice operates the way D.R. did.
Hope you are right on both counts. Hope are fans are addressed properly, no matter the reason they are contacted. Also hope LG keeps us moving.
I agree with 70. I sat in some of the blue seats at the spring game. No leg room. I'll keep the bench seats with a chair back.
Alcohol served at a La Tech game? You gotta be kidding
If you sit on a bench in E or EE you should pay just a little less than those sitting in permanent chairbacks in those same sections. It's real estate - location, location, location - that's all that matters. If you have the privilege to sit on or near the 50 in a Division I (or whatever they call us nowadays) stadium you should be happy to be there and be willing to pay a premium to do so. If you sit in that section there is no way you should pay the same as someone in C or CC or G or GG. You should pay more and like it. Same goes for benches in D, DD, F and FF, but a slight discount to the benches in E and EE would be justified, but it should still be more than the A's, B's, C's, G's, H's and I's.
That should be done immediately to be effective in 2016. Give current seatholders in those sections the ability to "lock in" their current seat rate if they pay now in advance for the next 5 years, nonrefundable under all circumstances, up to and including death of the seatholder, with the understanding and ironclad contractual agreement that at the expiration of that term they will pay the going rate for their seats, even if, especially if, they have been converted to chairbacks. Tech could then use the money from the 5 year contracts to pay for the upgrades from benches to chairbacks in year 3 or 4, giving everyone in those sections plenty of time to think about where they are going to sit. Of course if you didn't pay for a 5 year contract when it was available, you would pay the market chair back rate the year your seat gets upgraded if you want to keep sitting there - after paying a premium for your seats between the 35's over the last few years.
