re: Let's talk New Dudy Noble Field

I am neither blind nor deaf so your metaphor was poorly placed.

I never said anything about premium seating. I said a simple chair back. There will no longer be bleachers. Sure, you can buy a general admission for 5 to 10 bucks, but if you can't shell out a little more money for the upgrade we are getting then it's pretty pitiful on your part as a fan if you were a previous chair back ticket holder. It's new, do you honestly expect the price to stay the same? I'm speaking in the context of those who already own chair backs FWIW. (Not directing at anyone, just in general).

I understand OP is talking about administration raising prices which eliminates those who don't have that type of income to afford to attend games on a regular basis. I was talking in context of those bitching about a increase in price for chair backs when they can actually afford it. I guess I did go on a little bit of a tangent.

And it will be the finest, and people will pay. Especially after getting a taste of what it'll look like during construction. Can't wait.

I go to a lot of games. I have been on the waiting list to buy chair backs for years. I buy mine each year from a guy who has very young children and just doesn't use them. Other than SBD Weekend and when we host a Regional, many people never show their faces at a baseball game. They keep their tickets because for $500, they are afraid to lose their 2 seats. Plus, it helps their priority number. I suspect there are going to be people letting their seats go because they are not going to pony up the $3,000 just to be able buy their tickets that they don't use. I am quite comfortable with the current Dudy Noble but I understand if you want to recruit, kids want the glitter that a stadium like this produces.
I will probably do it just because we go pretty much every weekend the weather doesn't suck. But I thought long and hard about not getting football tickets this year because the required donation has gotten so high for decent seats. I will probably throw it all toward baseball and just get individual football tickets to games I really want to attend from StubHub or some ticket exchange. I can tailgate and be in front of an HDTV in 10 minutes to watch the football game.

It's so easy as a student to take for granted all of the great things to do for free. Wish I had made many more games. All that free time too, shiiiiitttt I miss college.

Mother fricking this. God lets just all quit our jobs and go back.
