Touches on Holgerson and Snow a bit. More interesting is the stadium renovations and what avenues of revenue could be drawn from it.

Sounds smarter than dumb Trev

At least he’s upfront about doing away with grandfathered seats in Memorial.

 

[redwine65]

thats smart what he said about building the south in 2 phases..that way you can get the foundation and everything right put up one level..do games....then go back and add the rest...then the financing of it can be spread out more too..

probably helps the work load too if they are doing other parts of the stadium also..

 

[TFrazier]

It was a good interview…listened to it at 1.5x.

Stipple talks like a normal person at 1.5

He can so whatever because I think everyone is about at their end, but ending grandfathered seats might just end the program if they don't start winning at a pretty good clip. A half full stadium would officially make us every other terrible program.

That seems to be the attitude many fans have towards the seats and the renovations as a whole. Can’t say I disagree given the product on the field is poor.

I'll renew but I'm not paying 5 or 10 times my current donation to watch a 5 win team. I personally think these AD's are being short-sighted but I guess we'll find out.

I think the "grandfathered " refers to people who pay nothing. The LONG timers

Because you have never owned them.

 

[BugsAreQualityProtein]

Because you have never owned them.

My point is that he’s not dancing around the subject like Trev. He said it plain in simple that they want the 22 million in untapped revenue that the grandfathered seats don’t generate.

That doesn’t mean I support it, in fact I don’t. They’ve made it very clear that they no longer care about the families that have supported the program for generations.

I think they are also referring to 2nd or 3rd generation like me, who "donate", but below what the university says is face level donation value.

Tough job constantly begging people for money
