    Yes, if the box seats are sold out with a waiting list.
    If the SEZ is sold out (probably with a waiting list).
    If the Skybox is sold out with a waiting list (I guess so).
    Who cares whose feelings are upset?
    If we keep winning, the prices WILL go up and feelings will get hurt. What are they gonna do, stay home? Not if the Bulldogs are winning.

    We talk about Elite. Elite has a price. . . .

    And, if we're gonna expand to corporate boxes, I'd rather make the west upper level a level one story (from goal line to goal line) with the press, radio, TV, coaches boxes up one level' Get rid of that upright look, for a streamlined look.

    But, who cares what I think, I'm just worried about us stills and TV camera guys having excellent workspace at halftime and end of game somewhere in the SEZ.

    Maybe offer season ticket holders in those areas between the 40's a break on their upgraded seats. Offer incremental increases over 2-4 years until they reach the level of existing box seat costs. If those ticket holders want to downgrade to student side season tickets they are welcome to. Anyone who comes in as a new season ticket holder pays full price.

    There are many schools who bump up the price on adding upgraded seats. We are such wusses when it comes to expansion of premium seats.

    We would not be happy to leave our seats we have had for the past 12 years I assure you, but no way would I pay double for my 5 tickets.

    That's a bad word around here.

    Seat redundancy would be perfectly consistent with the way things work now in the rest of the University.

    I'm guessing it will be a couple of years before we see the blue seat sections expanded up toward the press box and down toward the field. When it happens a lot of us are going to have a tough decision. 16 season tickets with bolt-on seat backs is a pretty healthy commitment. 16 of the blue seats would be quite a step up. I love where we sit. Guess we'll figure it out when the time comes.

    I agree- I will not worry about it until it happens.

    Good problems we have...

    We are paying a guy a lot of money to handle such things. Is it too much for him? He (not a Tech guy) is dealing with lifetime Tech fans. Reckon he is up to the job?

    Hey HD, is he old enough?

    A very comfy seat (with a cup holder) has a greater value.
    Time for a shakeup IMHO. Why? Cuz I see too many of those seats from the field when the game is well underway...every game.

    That seat has no value to me. Start charging more and taking people's long-time seats and you will see a lot more empty spaces. I am very glad you aren't in charge.

    Simple economics. When demand for tickets exceeds supply, premium seating can be expanded. Until then, you do NOTHING that might decrease attendance. Twenty thousand in the stands with an average ticket price of $25 trumps ten thousand in the stadium paying $50 each..

    According to the athletic dept demand for club seats HAS exceeded supply, there is a waiting list of people who WANT TO PAY MORE. Simple economics tells us it is time to make some adjustments. They dont tell us how many are on the waiting list but I bet its around a hundred or so therefore adjusting to fit them in should be no problem.

    So is that enough critical mass to start a project? Sure it looks like money on the table but then we have to consider which section to convert and how many seats in said section. I think a large cluster of unoccupied blue seats would be an even bigger downer for Dawgpix.
