AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Yep Baylor just scheduled an OOC in 2019 vs University of the Incarnate Word.

Their AD is in his 11th year. SF has been here less than 11 months.

I honestly thought that was a joke...oh my. Football program is 7 years old.

The University of the Incarnate Word announced Monday that it has scheduled a 2019 game against the Bears in Waco.

Which according to MD02 makes their AD in the same class (read awful) as JC and SF(who's been on duty all of a good 8-9 months.)

Quote:UIW joins UT-San Antonio and Rice as non-conference 2019 opponents. Between 2014 and 2019, Baylor has just two non-conference games scheduled against programs from the five power conferences: a home-and-home with Duke in 2017 and 2018.

Water tower's a tad closer and a bit more insulated from wind. Was there a bit last year & liked it.

Doesn't seem like a good lot if you have little ones. Really close to a major road and there are no sidewalks from the parking lot to the stadium...other than that one new section they installed last year that is.

I spent one year at the Water Tower... I enjoyed it..

1. you get to see all the cars drive in to the other lots
2. plenty of bathrooms
3. When i was there it wasn't packed so could spread out

There are sidewalks and a crosswalk..also there is plenty of grass to walk in or parking lots.

In regards to the reserved parking.. U of I has a similar section.. There are actual plaques set up for each family name, with a security guy checking access to the lot.. very similar to the high end donor spots at NIIU

I could see that for donors above $2500 annually...but there are quite a few donors in the $1000-$2499 range to expect that.

So "Champions Club Access" must be the new HASF TENT...

I would rather park in Stevenson Lawn than Track Lawn..

So it appears for my same seats as last year, I am paying $100 more($25/seat more for chairbacks)

Talked about it with the wife last night we basically don't trust our kids(2x3yr & 5yr old) enough for that lot yet...maybe in 2-3 years but not now.

It seems we will either go for the $300 lots OR not donate to HAF, park in the Convo and buy a CPC brick instead for this year.

Just depends on what is announced today if there are any useful benefits for us to donate to HAF rather than getting a brick.

Agreed. While I think this would be nice, I can't see how it's practical. If they can do it, my hat is off to them. But, I agree that it should be $2,500 and above.

There can't be more than 200 donors above $1000.. and even less if you remove companies(papa john's , dominos, etc)

I agree but I just dont see it happening. You are talking about putting up signs in 3 different lots. Are the East or West lots used for anything during the week?

I would assume they aren't(using it)..

You are talking about eliminating a lot of donors..huskie lot used to be 500-749 and 750-999..now just 1000+.. they basically expanded the victory and pride lot to both sides.

They didn't expand it but moved the pride lot to the East side and the track lot...then made all 3 the same donor value.

I agree I think its a bad move. They will lose more donation money from the $1500+ donors who will go down to $1000 for what they think is the same parking spot.

Same thing for the $750 people going down to $600 rather than up to $1000.

I disagree. I think people will move up to the $1000 level..since HASF tent is now $1000..

...where does it say the HAF tent is $1000?

I haven't seen anything saying there will be a HAF tent.

if you look at the parking map underneath THE YARD it says "Huskie Athletic Fund Tent"

I am also guessing that Champions Club Access pregame reception is code for HAF Tent
