Thank you for being a part of one of the most exciting seasons in Memphis Football history. With 19 wins in the last two seasons, and the announcement of Mike Norvell as the new head coach, the future of Memphis football is extraordinary. This email is to inform you of the resolution the City of Memphis approved to Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium on December 15, 2015. Premium seating renovations have been approved, including the addition of 5,596 premium chairback seats. These new seats will serve to enhance the fan gameday experience.

As a result of these renovations, the addition of premium seats in the Liberty Bowl creates fewer seats overall. The larger chairback seats displace the bench seats, producing a reduction in seating. This will result in a seat selection process for season ticket holders in these affected areas only. This includes seats below the ADA walkway in sections 101-109, sections 117-123, and sections 131-132. Your seats are located in one or more of these sections. As a result of this displacement of seats, we will hold a seat selection of the sections above in mid-March through early April.

YOUR AFFECTED SEAT LOCATION:

L:103:x:x,x



YOUR DONOR/SEASON TICKET HOLDER #:

xxxxx

You will receive a follow-up letter in mid-February with your appointment time to select your seats. This will be based on your giving level and priority point ranking within that level. If you are not a TSF donor, the appointment time will be based on your longevity as a season ticket holder, which is inclusive in our priority points system. You will have the option of selecting new seats in-person at the Penny Hardaway Hall of Fame or over the phone. If you choose not to respond, we will automatically select the best available seats nearest to your current season ticket location.

As a part of this premium seating upgrade for our fans, we are implementing a per-seat donation in these sections. The premium seating donation ranges from $25-$150 per-seat. The ticket price for all sections with premium chairbacks will be $250. As always, a vast majority of our seats will remain with no donation requirement. Only the premium chairbacks will require a donation. If you wish to move to a location without a donation, you may do so during the seat selection. For additional information, including seating map, pricing, frequently asked questions, and other information please visit http://www.gotigersgo.com/lbs.

We look forward to working with you to find a seat location that best suits your preference. Thank you for working with us as we add more premium upgrades and enhance the overall atmosphere at the Liberty Bowl. On behalf of the entire Department of Athletics, thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to an exciting year.

GO TIGERS!

I got one too. At first I thought it said my seats were infected. lmao.
Here's a cut and paste of the subject line:

Your Seats are AFFECTED at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium

There are two threads....I vote for this one because it has a football.

Also it was posted 2 minutes earlier than the other one. :-)

Something I find interesting is that I have three seats together on the aisle. Only the first and third seats are affected.

I got an email saying I was NOT affected, but it was also meant for a different donor, lol.

So Sandra (whoever), your seats are not affected. :)

Fun Zone DGAF.

Haha, I got Larry's seat email.

Am I the only one who got the right name? Maybe there's another person by my first name.

Mine was correct, but I'm feeling a bit disappointed. I kinda feel left out.

If you have (had) seats below the lower tunnels (ADA aisle) and you are in sections 101-109, your seats will be AFFECTED. Same locations (see sections in the OP) on the visitor side too. I don't know how it will be worked out but since the new seat size is 22" versus either 15" or 19" in the previous configuration, your seat numbers & location will affected to some degree. Since current season ticket holders in those areas get priority, I'm not really sure how that will play out in reality since less seats mean everyone in the affected area will move to some extent - and then TSF & longevity will factor too. It may be that they are assuming enough folks won't want to pay the ticket price increase+the donation requirement to compensate for those wanting to stay & pay? Guess we'll find out next month.

And BTW, I'm in section 103, row 14 - & my seats are affected. I can't remember what the first row is below the ADA aisle, maybe row 22? If so, any tickets on that row & below will be affected.

Looks like the chair seats will be $250+donation. Has anyone heard what the bleacher seats will be this season? I heard $140 somewhere, but wasn't sure how valid that was.
