When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
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.

I dont think there has ever been a plan put in to place involving large amounts of people that doesnt have a few issues with a few people bitching about it. Some just love to bitch.
TM has made moves to better the gameday experience every year while working with an explosion of demand. Now that they have made game days an event with great participation they are learning to manage it.
So this year we dont have enough reserved spots for the demand. Thats a good thing as you always want demand. Thats why they didnt put the whole lot in to reserved. Next year if there is enough demand for reserved they will fill up the other half. Create demand. Make people WANT to pay more money. Pretty good plan if you ask me.

Some just like to bitch? No were just people who like to think for themselves and formulate our own opinions instead of accepting the status quo. If I didn't care I wouldn't bitch. And I do agree with much of what you've said actually. My issue is you make it sound like everyone who dares to question things is a whining person. What do I have to gain by bitching? Ill be one of the first in line regardless of what happens. I want what's best for the program. I dont think its a good idea to turn revenue away AND force people to skip tailgating or send them to the east side where they cant drink a beer. People that tailgate are going to get hooked. I think that in itself is valuable because when the championship run ends, they wont go for the game. They will go for tailgating which will lead to the game. The window is open now. We know the first 3 games will be batshit crazy. Put a plan in place now before people get pissed and it will be more than just me.
I agree with you that tm has made good changes. They happened because of "bitching."

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
If people didn't bitch we would still have people buying 47 parking spots at $3 each. Im just trying to think pro actively so people dont have to bitch. I remember being pissed when I couldn't get in last year and others were too. They just aren't as vocal as I am or they didn't know who to complain to.. or just quit going (like aces)

What makes you think I have not. By the looks of the private messages I received, it seems like I am not the only one who has asked. Thus, if you know the info fill us in. If anyone on here is part of this group beyond those just donating and attending the luncheons....reach out to me I would like to do more than donate.
