3 minor things

[Homedawg]

There are weekend chairbacks on sale for this upcoming weekend on stubhub now for $30.

but, but, that's more than I want to pay, or I want to be able to come to the sec series... etc, etc......

[Pinto]

Not sure if this is aimed at me but I paid $65 a ticket this weekend and have no problem doing so.

Not sure what your issues is since you just make snide middle school remarks with no basis, but I?m sure everyone in your large group of 1 agrees.

No it wasn't aimed at you. Sorry you got so offended. It was aimed at those who want to pay $10 and come to any game they want to and EXPECT a chairback seat....

Lot of people don't realize that folks had to pay 1800 dollars upfront for that chairback, then pay for the season ticket every year (which is relatively cheap for what you get but still). Paying the 1800 upfront, especially when getting 4 chairbacks for a family, isn't cheap.

Still worth it imo though. I'd let my football seats go before baseball.

Yeah, me too. FB got to where it's such a big hassle. Literally takes all day and you miss all the other games. Plus, the beer at my house is ice cold.

[confucius say]

The experience at baseball games is way way better than football. From entry, concessions, bathrooms, facility, just everything.

You know the 3 things that don't lie?

Little kids, drunk people, and yoga pants.

Yoga Pants: The second best invention ever!

Right behind the Semi-combustible engine!

But it is real close!!!!

Lea Beasley looks too much like Debbie Wasserman Shultz for me to trust. Still would like Yoga Pics.

What are her current responsibilities within the Ath Dept?

She can run around in a thong for all I care as long as she stays far away from any Important decision making

No, it means there were over 600 more that people didn?t put on the market and simply didn?t use. If they had, there would have been hundreds for sale.

And, maybe just maybe, fans don't want to pay 75 dollars per ticket to have seat.

My biggest complaint about the new park is this..... There are zero general admission seats. The sloped grass areas are great. But the upper 3rd base side should have a grand stand that can seat over 1200 people for general admission. Add to that the 150 people each grass area and you actually have something that is usable by the casual fan and their families.
I would still make all chairbacks accessible to anyone after the 3rd inning. If someone has the ticket to your chairback, you have to move. Simple, Simple Simple.
Grand stands for 1200 people would cost around 550k and that is with W-Flange style structure with aluminum planks. Add in end walls to dress it up and you are looking at maybe 700k all in. That is dang worth it, for the regular fans that would actually like to sit down during the game and were not on the season tickets list 8 years ago.

Don't know what a Semi-combustible engine is. I even googled it and not sure that term is the correct term.
you talking about a CI? like a diesel?

We are never building chairbacks for GA. Never. Best hope is some seats beyond right field. Maybe. And no aluminum bleachers between foul poles will happen either.
But I do agree about the sitting in someone's seat after inning 3.
ETA. It's your choice how much you want to pay for a ticket. I get that. Everyone has to make decisions. But just Bc you don't want to doesn't mean you should be provided a place to sit at your price. Just not how it works. Sorry.

That would be like putting a little 10'x10' metal storage shed in the front yard of your Reunion starter castle.

Except we do - or at least we have enough willing to do so that all of our seats are pre-sold. And when we expand, it will be because more people are willing to pay whatever we ask for those seats as well - and none will be GA.
If anyone in our Athletic Department suggests your Vaught-Hemingway inspired shortcut "design" - they should be drawn and quartered.

And we have a winner!!! There will be expansion, at some point, w more chairbacks but they will go straight to the people on the waiting list and they will all be sold when they do....
