People my age and older are needed but we are not the future of NIU Athletics. I'm not saying we're bad or not needed because we are old. I'm saying we need more young people(young alums)

It would help if we offered a Young Alum +1 season ticket and Young Alum individual ticket offered on a consistent basis.


As I have said several times in 6 seasons as a student I missed 1 home game (because of a girlfriend emergency). After graduation the next season I could only afford to buy 1 set of tickets and I went to a second game because the Alum Association was giving out free tickets. After that I decided I couldn't spend $50 for tickets + food on a day when I was making little money and having to pay the bills. Fortunately seasons later when I was not struggling the 2010 season happened so I came back for the Toledo game and was again hooked. If not for the success of that or the next few seasons I may have never come back.

IMO Athletics in partnership with the Alum Association should offer Young Alums at least 4 seasons of discounted season and individual tickets after graduating.

This year East side Young Alum season ticket would be half price of the public, so $30.

Young Alum Individual tickets would be the cost of a student guest ticket $15
