Message: [QUOTE="gtcam, post: 3152438, member: 2844"] [B][I]So it’s about the disaster that should be expected, except for by the UConn AD[/I][/B] And Chief00 that's the heart of the matter, or better, what is the matter with the UConn athletic department - the head MY family/I have had season tickets for Men's BB since 1965 - I am almost on the verge of dumping the XL tickets. It's true what gampelcrazies says those folks who are in middle tier seats (and many had great lower bowl seats in the 80's thru early 2000's) that constantly are being moved up. My Gampel seats are fantastic but the XL are now meh - I've poured so much $ into UConn through tuitions, Friends of Soccer/season tickets, Football (season tickets and old "Huddle Club" and "Pound") and MBB season tickets plus annual donations to baseball in memory of my father who played at UConn in the late 40s - yet they want more and more. I asked DB's assistant what it would take to get back to the lower bowl at XL - and the reply I got was while my participation is appreciated, it is big time college athletics, there are budget issues and the best seats go to those who pay the most. I get it but it fries me to see so many empty seats in that lower area - dedicated, long term fans who attend all the games but are not able to dole out corporate type payments are the ones being hurt I am sure it's like that nearly everywhere in the P5 world so I'm singing to the choir - but it feels good!
