CU Buffs' Mike Bohn's work not yet done

[Skidmark]

Do other PAC 12 teams sell beer? I know we were the last ones in the Big 12 to sell beer.

I'm certain no beer is sold at Cal, ASU and Utah home games.

Add UCLA & UW.

No beer at Utah?

Add Stanford into that mix. Went to the Stanford Oregon State game over the Thanksgiving holiday and no beer but the Stanford Alums that tailgate do drink wine instead of beer lol!

117 is the first move. That needs to be a section that's paying premium pricing along with a large donation.

Probably have to do it incrementally for additional moves. But I'd put a 5-year plan in place to reconfigure seating at Folsom. Students should have Sections 109-114 with 109 being the band section. You could also go 203-213. Make the entire South endzone for students.

Oh hell no! Students are the lifeblood of the program and should not be relegated to ****ty seats!

Fixed for spelling. Sorry to go all grammar po-po on you.

Your gain on 115 would only be about 350 a seat and it is a smaller section we should leave that for the kids.

Good point, abs. 117 is the key. 116 is pretty valuable, too.

One way we could make this happen more quickly with increasing our season ticket base is to discount for recent graduates (last 5 years maybe). But we really need to market like maniacs to anyone who has owned season tix in the past 10 years but no longer does.

I also think we need to move toward the stadium seating upgrade at Folsom. People who pay for premium seats want a defined space, not a bleacher. The CU AD needs to recognize that the Buffs are in competition with the Broncos for the sports entertainment dollar of football fans in metro Denver. Amenities need to compare.

These guys did some of the big ones:

Finally, the West Side Flatiron Club needs to be improved to match the East Stadium Club. Club seats have a 33% smaller donation attached to them. Fix Balch, expand the West premium seating, and make it nicer.

I think you mean 117. I sit in 119 and I'm pretty sure we pay for those seats.

But yeah, they could, and should, reconfigure the student section. I'd actually suggest taking both 117 and 116 out of the Student section, and moving those student seats to the upper level on the South side. There are four tunnels that access the South side of the Stadium. That could all be student access. It makes it a lot easier.

OTOH, the allbuffs seats are in the second level of the South Endzone, so that could be a bit of an issue for us.

I vote for that student move idea! Since my seats are in 118 and everyone there has to stand up half of the time anyway.

you disappoint me hugegroove... i thought you loved seeing my smiling face standing adjacent to you...

I vote for moving the students to a section where they can rush the field more easily.

Good point. It's a tradition now.

If you wern't standing all of the time we might be able to see your smiling face

There's really no reason for students to have 50 yard line seats. Those are premium seating that should command premium pricing.

[96 Buff]

Yeah, **** the students. They never show any energy for the game anyway, so we should tuck them away farthest from the field and replace them with old ****ers who will do the proper thing and clap and sit during the whole game.
