I'm not sure how they are able to do this. Back when they were selling the suites for the Box, I read that you could also use your suite for tailgating during football season. There was no mention of additional fees, it was presented as an added benefit of having a suite at the Box. THAT would be fine. $25k for 7-8 tailgate parties? That's just crazy.

"We must have 50% of the tailgating suites utilized in order to meet the operating expenses, i.e. staff, security, cleaning, associated with this endeavor"

the 1st press release said they would make 17 available for sale
so if use use 9 suites at 25k-= $225,000

it costs $225,000 for operating expenses for 7 days of operation?????

You can get a much better deal at The Varsity.

I think the main idea is to use these for tailgating and not for watching the games...right? People seem confused on that issue.

There's a lot of tiger fans with more money than sense, this is how TAF (and all other athletic programs across the country) survive and/or thrive.
