You are correct.
There are low cost options available as well. Not a bad seat in the house so those are quite the bargain.
But the product on the field... Ugh.
I was referring to some of the premier seat locations where my friends held multiple packages of 4-8 seats in a row.
Those get quite spendy quick with all of the AD donation add-ons.
Remember the game bundles they were selling just so someone can buy a Michigan ticket?
That was cute.
Too bad they don't have the same leverage this year to bundle around.
The B1G Bob Bucks scenario you suggest above reinforces my point that season ticket sales don't matter.
Put all of the academic standing and other sports success aside. UConn has that covered. This is football we are talking about.
It seems that the real value that UConn represents to the B1G, or any conference, is not my butt in a $20.00 aluminum bench space ticket promo, but my two eyeballs at home watching the game on TV.
The only way we will see the glory days of the past again will be an invite up and out of the AAC.
Butts will be in seats and eyeballs will be on TVs and all problems will be solved.
Until then, I'll cherry pick my games and you'll buy season tickets and we'll all enjoy our mediocrity together.
No one but you gets to decide what level of support you give to the UConn football program or the UConn athletic department generally. And I would not and am not doing so -- the combination last year of diminishing crowds and juice, the friggin weather and the play was unbearable.
But what you don't get to do is watch on TV and think the program needs that as much as you buying a ticket and getting your butt in the seat. That is just idiotic. And diminishes the real sacrifice that those who sat through hell last year made to do what they could.
