When millenials become the bulk of season ticket holders. No one wants nose bleeds.

Not soon enough

Poor mizzou won't be able to have a pool. Maybe a snow slide?

I can see Arkansas jumping on this first. They don't have any major population bases to pull from. Seems like they could make fraternities and sororities pay an arm and a leg for them.

We already are. Prelim renderings of our expansion to enclose the North endzone has 2 party patios.

Interesting and awesome. Arkansas maybe be terrible on the field, with no hope of ever changing that, but at least you lose in style. Care to post pics of said renderings?

Yep, it'll be BYOB unlike the pros, but our admin calls it a 'tailgate terrace'. It looks like a great idea and it's long sold-out.

Veeeeery interesting. Is this all season pass type thing? Or if I want to see A&M dominate State(the series will be more lopsided than State vs LSU), will I be allowed to buy a ticket?

You tell me... What part of 'sold-out' is confusing?

They're planning on doing something up top and then in that area on the bottom right.

Jacksonville is in a unique situation. No one sits in those seats anyway. I don't see anyone who constantly sells out their stadiums taking out seats to do this.

quote:

The team has taken out 9,500 seats in the north end zone and is replacing them with a two-level party deck that includes two pools and 16 cabanas complete with plush furniture.

Companies or fans can rent one of the four poolside cabanas on the first level for $12,500 a game, or $250 per person. The package includes 50 tickets and is all-you-can-eat and drink. Wine and beer will be served through the third quarter, as is the case with the rest of the stadium.

A similar package of 20 tickets on the upper level of the party deck, which does not include pool access, costs $3,000 a game, or $150 per person.


With the cabanas they have the potential to make $86,000/game off this area, plus they're giving away food and drink. Even at $40 a seat those 9,500 seats would make $380,000/game and people would be paying for their food, drinks, and booze.

Where did you get your math?

4 cabanas on lower level at $250 per person.
250 x 200(50person package per cabana) = $50,000
+12 more cabanas on top level at $150 per person
150 x 600 = $90,000
= $140,000
Still well below the 380,000 for the seats. Just curious on what you were calculating cause it said 50 tickets with each cabana.

Edit: never mind in miss read a piece of it. Only 20 seats per upper cabana.
