Just got off the phone with the ticket office. NO season tickets will be going on sale this summer. Only single game tickets are beening sold on an unknown date. The new west upper extents further south than the former west upper (creating more seats), yet we have no more season tickets to sell? I will gladly pay the surcharge. All the past years any remaining season tickets go on sale before the season. Over 90,000-Around 60,000(season tickets holders)-15,000 Students - 5000 Visitors = OVER 10,000 more Season Tickets to sell! Something does add up. Any more information?
My understanding was that the new upper deck would not change the overall stadium capacity. It is wider, but not as tall.
There are three rows of "Club Seating". I believe there's something like 3.000 club seats. The entire new West Upper was only going to add 500-600 seats. So, where as before there were 9,000-10,000 "general" seats in the West Upper, now, there's only 7,000-8,000 "general" (i.e., non-Club Seating) seats.
It's going to add some serious surchage capacity though! Let's see, 3,000 seats at $2,750 surcharge per seat would be an extra . . . $8.25 million a year.
The advocate had a number similiar to that while back. I still cant believe 3000 seats will equal close to 9million in new income
