Damn. That's a cutthroat policy

not really, SAME thing at 10-14 SEC schools, no fun but LSU is a major program, you think TAF is doing anything different than other major programs..nope...only Miss st, Missouri, Vandy and Uk do NOT have similar plan for club seats...

I agree with you and I was not aware of this policy when purchasing my south club seats three years ago.
Add another six to yours.

And its not that we do not want to contribute to TAF. Its the idea of having seats that you have sat in for years (and made the necessary donation to do so) reassigned to someone else.

I went North End Zone this year maybe I need to get back - only 3 years into tickets. I only make one game (place your downvotes below)

I'm nearing my breaking point.
I sell half and attend other half because of cost.
Much more, and I will relinquish mine in north end zone.

Of course I still have baseball which I will always keep over football.

It was always a dream to own them, and I didn't let moving to NJ get in the way. The thought was to break even or slight less than even on this vanity project. I am not there. Losing a game next year will be a beating.

I never really understand the down votes for the fact that I don't go to a lot of games.

I don't take that to mean that you'll automatically lose the seats. If you keep up your level of donations for priority points, couldn't you keep the seats?

To a degree they already have. It's not the same fanbase we had in the early 2000's. There are way more fairweather fans at the games now.

The south Club seats kinda suck. If you're going to pay that much money you should get covered seating like the West Stadium Club.

there won't be anymore blue collar season ticket holders left


yep, it's been going this way for awhile now. the NFL priced blue collars out years ago. remember the Dog Pound in Cleveland? as soon as they built the new stadium and PSL's happened, the avg joe has been priced out of the market.

but that's the NFL; it's college that pisses me off. money is all that's important now. I understand LSU has to keep up and I want them too it's just that across the country college football has pretty much become a money grabbing sport. it's sad.

South club is poor mans suites.
They suck. I've sat there twice.

Overcrowded.

TV money has ruined college. It allows the bigger ones to give a big GFY to its true fans.

This is exactly why you take a flier on a less expensive coach rather than have ducks like Les making 6 million, even after they are gone.

Its like the NFL. A joke and only a couple of really important home games (maybe)

So what TAF and Alleva are aiming for is a Tiger Stadium that is as quiet with 100,000 plus as the Big House is at Michigan.

Loud and proud is not how Alleva measures success.
Maintaining Tiger Stadium as the premier collegiate football experience is not his objective.
There are no incentives in his contract based on tradition. Nor F. KIng Alexanders...

That is pure BS and they want loyal fans and they do that.

Glad I don't have to donate to TAF

Wouldn't your points be pretty high if you have been paying those prices for a few years? Also I am sure everyone already has seats that are above you so you should be fine.

Family tickets will be on their 18th year in 405 next year, and my two will be in their second year. Love the SEZ.
