Considering that a lot of us buy fun zone or tickets in the end zone for less than a $100 a season was a good bargain. Now to have to pay $250 plus donate to TSF because they are going to put new back seats everywhere except on the visitor side, it goes from a family of 4 for $400 to now be $1000 plus at least $25-$50 donation to TSF per season ticket. I've held season tickets since the 70's and also have a Tiger Lane and Blue Lot pass. I'm making a decision now what to do, considering what lies ahead in the future. Sure you can do it one more year, but you know the price hike is coming the following year.
Rhodes has a football team.
Do their fans tailgate on the Greensward ?
When I was in grade school we actually had a football scrimmage against GSL on the Greensward.

Like I said about the hog and cotton.
Not trying to split hairs here but that email doesn't exactly say that spots will cost $2500-5000 for the 2018 season.
I'm sure they'll find that there isn't enough demand for that kind of donation requirement. Just like the seating, there will likely be several levels of donations that will get you a spot on Tiger Lane. My bet is that the spots closet to East Parkway will be had for as little as $25 donation. I'd be amazed if the demand is great enough for those spots to be much more than $50-75.
It doesn't dispute it either. I quoted what I was told from TSF. The numbers match up.
Reach in your pants, grab a handful, rip and split them hairs.
I can't because I shave like a decent person.
Woah! Woah! Hold up......
