In his weekly letter, Greg Byrne said that they are selling seats at $12,000 per seat where press row used to be.

Where is Press Row going to be this year?

How did I miss these new seats?

Man, I like going to basketball games, but holy ****. Is that per year? Surely not.

12,000 per pair. However, it is amazing that this soon into his AD career Byrne has this many new ideas for the athletic department which make so much sense yet could have been easily done years ago.

You get to keep the seats (as in take home with you) at season's end.

These seats will probably end up going to businesses, rather than private donors.

Alot easier for SteelCore, or whoever, to cough up 12Gs a year than your average fan.

And you have to wonder how many of those ideas he shared with Templeton over the last two years only to be told, "No, that would never work here."

These seats have been in the planning stage for three or four years --- there was supposed to start doing this last year but hit a snag

The plan is modeled after floor level seats in Oxford

Press row is now going to be on the floor, in front of the band...they have taken up the gray chairbacks and the press will go there, where the cheer leaders used to be

It will be a huge financial gain for the athletic deparment

AND JUST THINK.....you havent even figured in the money these seats will bring in for Lady Bulldog basketball
