il bet they are hoping to have only $2,500 or 5,000 min. DONORS in Tiger Lane in a few years.

Seems much more plausible. There's no way we are charging $400-800 per game for parking.

As you may or may not know, The University is taking over Tiger Lane sales. I called the ticket office this afternoon to find out when they plan on sending renewal info and get the scoop on pricing. I got bounced around and finally got someone in the TSF office. Here is what I was told:

For 2016 and 2017 seasons Tiger Lane spots previously sold through the Liberty Bowl/City are $385 and require a TSF minimum $25 donation.

Starting in 2018, the price of Tiger Lane spaces goes up significantly. $2500-$5000 per space. That does not include the TSF donation required to purchase.

They are "easing us in". Whoop whoop!

Where are you getting info on 2018 increase to $2.5-$5k? I do not find this credible.

If I tell you a hog will pick cotton get a sack.

Did you not read what I posted? I called the Tiger ticket office and was transferred to the TSF office. I got that straight from the guy the ticket office transferred me too. He even put me on hold to make sure the numbers he told me was correct. I repeated everything he said back to him and he confirmed.

I will try to confirm with my rep AND Bowen in am. Doubt either will give those high numbers. Doesn't make sense. We better hope we can have close to a winning season now without the greatest QB and best coach in our history together we've had for past 3 years. 3-9 or 4-8 season ar those prices and Tiger Lane will look like a ghost town on game days. Memphis fans are fickle.

Memphis FB fans (I'm hard core; been to virtually every home game since 1976) are double fickle.

Why would their employees lie?

That's so you...there is no way they were just incorrect or read the number wrong...they must have personally decided to lie to you. 01-wingedeagle

Yup. Plus the Highland Hundred Membership. I pay $225 for a family membership (to get two spots @ $450 a piece).

It's too bad Robilio sold his lot behind the old Walgreens. My group moved to the other side of the liberty bowl last year after Robilio sold the lot, does anybody know if the new owner parked cars there last season?

Sounds neat. That will be a great season. The Mrs. CT and I will see you and your bride at some of those road games

However, I really don't want to visit Auld Mess. It may be the closest, but I don't want to fight the huge crowds and take 1 to 2 hours just to get off the campus. In addition, that remains the only school where they vandalized my vehicle during a game. I have been to games at UT, Loserville, Cincy, SMU, Houston, USF, Miss State, Tulsa, Kansas, etc, but only the Webels sunk low enough to vandalize my vehicle.
