Pushing for 20K in time.
win a natty again and go back to the last dude renovation rendering complete with more lofts
Whoa there Trigger, y'all are getting the cart way before the horse. This has a long time to shake out.
I get the desire for lofts - more comfort but at what price? A predominance of Lofts will price out the average fan. I would think making the experience better for the average fan will drive more attendance. That is unless sports is becoming a rich mans game - to attend that is! Keep those TV contracts alive - only way average fans will be able to enjoy it at that rate!Quote:

I mean the thing with the lofts is they won't take away attendance options for the average fan and the demand is there. The lofts also guarantee you 180K over the life of the 3 year lease on those things so multiply that by 12-15 units and you have well over 7 figures in revenue. I think within the next 10-12 years we will probably do away with the berms and make that bleacher seating. And no.....GA Chairbacks ARE NEVER GOING TO BE A THING.Quote:

edit: it really was difficult to get behind these Lemonis teams. I loved the teams and watch every game, good or bad. Just a good time now to see us surpass everyone and have at least one sport we can win big.
As you said Vegas, embrace what we have at baseball games, make it bigger, and be known for it
Another set of lofts is going to happen. Too much demand for them
With that, I think that as soon as you walk into the stadium with a GA ticket you should be able to sit in any un-occupied, non club level chairback and if/when the owner of that seat shows up, you move to another empty seat or go grab a spot on the drink rail. We used to do something like that years ago but it was after the 4th inning or 4.5 innings I believe.Quote:

I know there's a waiting list for them, how long I do not know. But I mean they basically pay for themselves in a year when you think about it. It's a place to stay in Starkville every game weekend. The only knock on them is that you can never own them. It's a 3 year lease. I don't know how the renewals work on anything like that though.Quote:

I think MSU needs to come up with some temporary bleachers that they can use for SEC weekends and regionals and move for midweek and OOC games.
What about a 3rd deck behind theplate?
Would those seats be any good ?
Things change, Selmon made a very smart move on a couple frontsQuote:

Yea they used to do that but went away with that when the new stadium was built. I don't agree that you should just walk in a take someone's seat. I don't mind after the 4th or 5th though.Quote:

Put on wrong thread so adding here
???-
Another funding idea
Why can?t we get sponsorship from someone like Coca Cola to put a huge lit up Coke bottle in the outfield ?
Much like at SF Giants park?
Because you would have to find a company willing to spend that type of money on college baseball. And at this level they would probably want stadium naming rights.Quote:
