Responses are interesting.
Seems these "Founders Suites" (or their equivalent) are a very, very new phenomena. Only teams I've heard that have these are Ok. State ($1MM per), TCU ($15MM), and Baylor ($lol). All teams with very new (or pending) stadium projects.
I wonder why this is a new concept. It's not like people with too much money haven't always wanted to blow it on something absurd. And it's not like this is the mist prosperous time in history (though oil in Texas is absurd right now). Yet 1/4 of our stadium is being paid for by 12 suites. It seems so simple, but the concept is so new.

That lounge looks like the fuggin' Oak Room. Just sick.
The video describes what they'll be like. Fast-forward a couple minutes.

Meh ... we all have those and you need to skip forward to 4:30 to see the Founder's Suites rather than "a couple of minutes" into that "why we are so great" propaganda bullshite.
lulz ... I did not realize y'all were so behind the times. We've all got malls and plazas that y'all evidently do not have yet?
Love the big emphasize on the Paul Bear Bryant building though. Bama should use that to recruit in Texas.

I went to Kyle field this year, it is up there with Davis-Wade and War Memorial as shittiest stadiums in the SEC (in their current form, not what renovations are in progress/planned)

Will it all be ready by the time we (Gamecocks) get there in 2014?

I sat in a luxury suite a few years ago and they were terrible. Johnny Football came along at the perfect time. The upgrades look great!

No, it won't be locked and loaded until August 2015.
But the south endzone will be complete by then. We'll actually have a 109k capacity before we bring it down for the finished product. So make sure to bring your friends.

Will be staying with Aggie friends while there. They are supposed to show us how it is done in College Station. We'll see.

Not sure what's to "be done." I mean, it's a college town. I guess he just means tailgating. It's on the up and up, to be sure.

Is there a 3 year option? Y'all are going to be the garbage doormat of the SECW after Johnny Football leaves, so y'all should really offer a 3 year option. It's just crazy to price pay for the 12 years of suckage that will follow the Manziel era.

I know Baylor's new stadium founders suite are more than $1 million.

Don't know. I sat in richts family box for one game and like having good seats in the crowd a lot better. I guess I'd buy one to support my school if I had more money than I knew what to do with but some of these prices are insane.
