I'd take the poor college kid in right field getting rowdy on a two strike count, and the grad. sitting upper level baseline over some quiet arse wallet stuffed VIP sitting behind the plate...err...in the suite anyday. And the same goes to the people 5 rows up at midcourt.


I think most people at sporting events enjoy "the poor college kid in right field getting rowdy on a two strike count, and the grad sitting upper level baseline" . The team enjoys them being there and in most cases respond to them. That is very important.

However the "quite arse wallet stuffed VIP sitting behind the plate …err…in the suite anyday" also has an important place. Without him there would not be the new Alex Box, the enlarged and beloved Tiger Stadium or any other fine arena for the poor college kid to stand in.

From my point of view this is kind of like a marriage. It takes two entities, both very different, with different ideas, both very important but working together makeing a beautiful thing.

Fifty years from now I hope you are the VIP with the fat wallet and you still have the energy to act like the poor college kid. I am not that fortunate.

I agree with you. I know not every person has that energy. But as stated earlier, it's the people who want me to sit down that really get to me. I know money is necessary and has a place. Hell, the 'old people' at football games still get the place amped. That is a place where I get pissed at the students who don't show up, leave early, or simply text all day long. Our students at the fb games really look lame near the top sections.

C'mon...let's bring Death Valley back...bring the Deaf Dome back.
