Considering this price, any ideas where this suite would be? Is this possibly one of the new ones or is that standard for all of them?

TIA

Well considering 80% of the OTakes that kind of money in a month, probably across the street.

Don't stress yourself over it bro..l secretaries don't get tickets.... Unless they are doing the boss of course...

Maybe they should have looked into this before shelling out 200k huh?

"they" did.

you are addressing a person using language that COULD be construed as saying his wife has her own company and just put down 200 large for the old alma mater/to see games.

however, as one wag noted, it could be that she is clerk or secretary and the OP author knows only that her employer is getting a suite and asks YOUR help in assessing the goodness of the acquisition.

I see the ambiguity now... My wife is a treasury manager and wired the money which is how I know about it. So the second option is closest...

Drop in the bucket in the donations game. My company pays twice that just in tickets. Also, they must have donated elsewhere cause as of last year $200k got you on a10 year waiting list.

Thanks for the info... I'll assume that more was sent previously considering the company. Guess I'll have to wait and see.

I know my company has 44 tickets. Some in the NEZ and some in the EU. Our owner is in the upper part of the corporate rankings and just for good measure he has 8 personal tickets in the Stadium Club. He was contacted about a suite in the new SEZ. They presented him a chance to give up all of that for one suite AND they wanted him to give another $25k to the school for the philanthropic stuff Keep in mind some of those NEZ tickets have hefty TAF fees. All said its between $200-$300k per year for all of that. If your wife's company has been giving for a while this doesn't seem too crazy for the expansion. I wouldn't think that's for a current suite right?

Not sure.... I suppose a SEZ suite after the expansion seems like the most logical thing. I asked her to get some more info (and tickets!) Thanks!

Unless your wife's company is a major player it would have to be for the new SEZ. I thought the waiting list for the current suites was something insane.

he is probably donating a bunch, but north endzone donations are not much, a little over 200. East upper is not much, some none, some if in tiger terrace are a bunch -- 900-950 plus cost of season ticket. stadium club most expensive are about 2800 plus cost of ticket. he does not have to give up anything to get south endzone suite, only have philanthropic points good enough to get. suite will cost 69,000 plus cost of ticket and hold 23 people. Most expensive seat in the stadium except stadium club are 950 tradition plus season ticket (410). that's all a long way from 300,000

That's probably for a shot at the new south suites today. I'm hoping like a mutha that in high enough for the new club seats
