Ah...missed that before.


I would think the people who are parking in the East lot want to tailgate...they don't care about some donor tent...anyone?

So there is a HAF tent but nothing (yet) saying which level you have to donated to enter. It is specifically not listed on the benefits guide on page 7.

I am also guessing that Champions Club Access pregame reception is code for HAF Tent..it is at the $1,000 level

I agree...but I think that will be inside the stadium.


LOL so can we hope for a 1pm release?

Ah, you could be right. I heard something about an indoor area for donors where the old coaches offices were. It is supposed have it's own bathrooms. That means that donors at the $1K level and above will need lanyards to get in there like with the 6th Man Grille at the Convo for BB.

We can only pray!

Gee, I wonder if I will get a parking spot with "Reserved for Dog Fan" on it? Will a bronze plaque be permanently installed?

What about all the multi-room RVs and big vans in the lot? If they are allowed to park there, they will take up a lot of parking spaces. Will they count as one space? I will suggest to the HAF that the RVs and super-sized vans have their own dedicated lot. It can even be on the other side of campus, where they can tailgate and watch the game on their satellite TVs in private.

I don't care about all these benefits and hoopla. All I want are 3 simple things:

1. My own reserved parking space.

2. My own urinal (trough).

3. My own crapper.

Is that too much to ask for a dedicated fan and sweet guy like me??

agree those RV's are too big. Get them out of those lots.

I am really confused by the parking situation and I hope they spell it out in the packet. How would a person be guarenteed to get a spot on the West Lawn at this point? How much are u supposed to give to know you are going to get a spot there?

They don't know until everyone donates by the deadline.

You could donate literally $1 less than the next guy up and that could be the difference between you getting a reserved spot in the West lot vs the East lot...or East lot vs the Track Lot.

If I were donating $1k and got a reserved spot in the track lot I would be upset to say the least. IMO with this new system that is a $600 lot...same as the Stevenson grass lot.

Cash bar. That's a huge selling point. I'd be all over that if I still lvied there.

Unknown at this time. Too many factors. You could be a first time donor of $5,000. I could donate $2,500 but have loyalty points from prior years donations. So, in theory, I could trump you if my priority points plus this year's donation is more than your $5,000 donation. Then, there is all the politics and favoritism that could be a part of the process.

Got that all straight?

For $650 per pass?

Under the Brigham Society Tab is a "Capital Campaigns" tab:

"Coming Soon!"

Wow. So if you buy 4 season tickets, you would need to donate $2,600 (minimum) to get a pass there.

...getting kind of worried...no word on the pup club.

There is no way I could afford to pay for my 3 kids if they got rid of that program.

Ya its a much more confusing system.

I also just noticed that the 6th man grill is going up to a $600 donation...wasnt it a $300 donation this last year?
