For the first time, the Gamecocks are requiring fans to make a “seat donation” for the right to be in certain seats at women’s games. The charges apply only to courtside seats. The donation fee will be $400 annually for the first row in courtside sections (101-103, 107, 109, 113, 115-118) and $200 annually for seating in the lower rows of sections 105 and 114. The change will affect roughly 320 seats, less than 2 percent of the Colonial Life Arena capacity. [/I] ...and so the [I]"seat donation"[/I] gig is beginning even for the Gamecocks, I've seen this happen before...were was that? As I was reading this, the thought came to me...why didn't they do this from last year, while A'ja Wilson was still on team and coming off a NC season. Perhaps the Admin didn't feel the urgency to implement this since the Gamecocks were, by all accounts bring in the highest attendance in WCBB again primarily because A'ja was still there...then it "dawned" on me South Car may be expecting fewer fans to show up next season in part for the lack of a marquee name(s) and to make up for this loss of revenue they will introduce these "seat donations".
