    So the students lose their best section? It is a pity.

    I'm sure the forum will be all over this.

    SDSU stuffs them all in end zone seats. At least they get a little sideline.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I bet it's a lot closer than you'd think. Straight up new seat requirement donation is probably around $750k. The key will be how many people with seats add that are grandfathered in, because they won't be grandfathered in at the old rate anymore on their current seats. Might even see a few big one time donations to acquire points for better seats.

    I think it' a pity, but do we chalk this up as something the new AD has actually done?

    Matt Larson is judged many ways, including generating revenue. A win in that category but I would give him an F in student engagement. Lack of student engagement will hurt the program long term as they are our future donors. What were we doing to engage thrm?

    Compared to many schools, student contribution to athletics
    is less. Maybe they should utilize the seats and show up
    to the games. They have become very complacent. The
    added seats are huge to the bottom line.. Believe me,
    they will be sole in a heartbeat.

    Rough estimate is $580,000 in TM fees and $175,000 in additional tickets sales. Total estimate is $755,000. Here is a chance for "all" the people begging to become season ticket holders to now setup with their money.

    Might get a little backlash but a year or two down the road nobody will know the difference.

    As far as football is concerned, what more do you need to do to engage them? The football team literally kicks ass, it's a great venue that's continuously getting better for the fans (video boards, lighting, vendors), and they can be rewarded for coming to games. Outside of going full on Bubbles and handing out tickets, what more do the students want?

    I am so sick of the Bison already. Win this, win that, blah, blah, blah. I'd really, really like to know how they do it. I swear they have to be the luckiest sob's on the planet. Just sick of this bs, just fed up.
