    And 30,000 after me. Point is this. They have the whole south side of the new tailgating lot, the east side of the dome as well as the south end across from the bsa. If teammakers wants to bitch about not having enough money, Ill just point to reserved tailgating money they are ignoring. Heck 75 per spot is almost as much as donations for game seats. They also cut off season tickets when they easily could have done something in the endzone. They could raise more money but they mustn't want it. It would be nice if they could continue to do things like buying turf for the practice field or putting a dome on top of it. Takes money

    Baby steps grasshopper. Baby steps. You dont think that TM doesnt know their revenue options? Seriously? You change things gradually when it comes to price points. They could have done all of this a few years ago but didnt. Demand also dictates pricing. They have grown each year. Obviously their plan is working.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

    Cant give all the credit to TM. Is it really a plan or the timing of back to back National Championships and a transition to D1? And FBS wins and a good tv deal to promote the team?

    You can't ride the high times without preparing for the low ones. Every single revenue source needs to be explored NOW. When things aren't so well, who will jump on board then? I know most of those in this board either joined or rode through some low points. Getting commitments today will insure the interest is strong when the tide ebbs.

    Over the past 3-4 years hints have been dropped about what was going to happen with parking, tickets etc. Only thing that has surprised TM has been the demand for reserved parking in the new lot. My goodness I would have thought you would have picked up on what was going on from this site or the guys you sit with at the TM luncheons.

    I have never gone to a luncheon before. I always seem to miss them. Still blows me away they will end up turning down reserved donations when demand is high. Not just me either. In 5 years they may realize they missed the window when we are 6-5. Strike when the irons hot. Its not greed when people like me WANT to pay

    Why not just up your TM donation, which will up your Priority Points ranking AND give you the right to give more money for tailgating spots?

    You say you are begging to give money? Why not allocate to other areas of TMs?

    Hmmmmm I guess the information from all of your reports of what was said at TM was derived via ESP?
