the only who does not get it is you. You seem to have all the answers, i suggest you go for the job next time it opens.

MD serious question, have you tried to reach Frazier in any way? I see both sides of the argument here.

I don't see anything wrong with the wristband.

all wristbands look dumb

I thought MD loved Frazier?

I personally don't dig the wristband and if I donated a lot, I would find it to be a pretty crappy prize.

If it requires an explanation, its DOA.

There wasn't one yesterday so I doubt there will be one today.

I am just expecting a press release on the main site and the new HAF site to have content.

to me this is where NIU fails... where is the press release, where is the press conference, why isn't the website up yet...

Ok now i am excited....thanks for the links..

Finally i can get the gear the coaches have instead of that lame a$$ sh#t at VCB...that to me is worth any price increase

I am a big fan of Frazier so far...
He has made a commitment to season ticket holders(by not doing fire sale single game tickets)
He is making an attempt to create a "tailgate area" with THE YARD.
Great way to use existing space to do a trial run for premium seats(this way you know if you were to do something on a larger scale if it is worth it).
Love how parking is by donor level then points
Got us the NU game..
Seems to have the "it" factor needed to negotiate with the big teams and conferences

Too soon to say about Frazier. Parking by donor points is fine, but what are they doing with the East lot? When it comes to football game atmosphere, there was nothing like the East lot when the students filled the whole thing. A half empty parking lot in the direction from which most people approach Huskie stadium looks bad and makes students think it's lame - and this is important as these factors can influence whether they continue to go to the game for the next 40 years. I think he does consider scheduling an issue, where Jiff seemed to think everything was hunky dory. If he can't influence the scheduling due to facility issues, I'm at least confident that he'll do what he can until such time that we can upgrade the stadium facilities.

If you guys didn't see it Frazier says the schedule is so important to him he makes calls every day and keeps it with him at all times...even when he goes to bed.

You could tell that is an absolute priority for him without question.

I don't care what it looks like I care what it is.. If that means it looks empty but generates $25,000 more.. than i am all for that.

Especially since the main activities will be on the West side anyways with THE YARD and bands..

I know for a fact from a high donar friend, scheduling is a high priority and he is none too happy with the MAC scheduling. However, with the chance to schedule NU and locked into some dates, not much he could this season.

I would bet a phone call to the AAC office has already been made.
