ULM pays 1,200 a season for a tent to set up down the LF line. Each tent has a picnic table in front of it. probably 10-12 tents...neat little area....they have a 3 foot brick wall down the line so the people there have a great view...only problem is a foulball or line drive that may get ya....
Anybody know how much each group in our lounge has to pay each year?

I know of one individual who has 2 (maybe 3) spots. He uses one for himself and then rents the others for around $2000 a season. This individual gives nothing to the Bulldog Club. Personally I think they should treat them the way they do the basketball seats.

The vast majority of those lounges have multiple families in them, so it could be split up. The $2,500 could include something like 8 tickets per game and a parking pass. You could also set it up to where that money counts as a Bulldog Club contribution (if it doesn't already).
People would complain, cry foul, tradition is lost, etc and then pay the money anyway.

In reference to the narc thread from this morning, somebody should narc that *** hole out to the athletic department. Although it's equates to basically the same thing as scalping a ticket to our football games in the rare event there is ever a high demand game it's a completely unreasonable and dick thing to do.
We should do the LFL spots (and chairback baseball seats for that matter) just like we do football and basketball. Bulldog Club priority distribution each and every year. Would increase revenue undoubtedly.
No No No... People need to stay where they are as long as the renew at whatever the price is...
The rigs are built for the 3 levels as is, and it would be a major deal for most people to have to redo their rig because they got moved to a different level.

I am not going to release the guys name but I will give some clues that should make it obvious. His trailers are in left center and almost look identical. He feeds the players all the time. He used to own a wrecker company. If you can't figure out who it is sorry.
Yes, for the most part this is correct and I have seen copies of the contract...
I dont see us ever just widespread changing it and saying tough cookies...
But...any new chairbacks not renewed, or that come open through deaths or such
ARE being put in this same style, with yearly fees...and points for the seats available.
So as they become available, this is being done.

to use the entire estate assets to file suit if the university attempts to take them away. I have all documents and all representations made by the university and the idea that the seats can be passed from generation to generation is plainly stated...as long as season tickets are bought each season. Miss a season and the contract is null and void. I do not think MSU will ever attempt such a move with chairbacks because it is a complete lock that it will lose any legal challenge. There would be literally thousands of chairback holders who would probably join in a legal action to prevent such a move. The basketball and baseball seats are two completely different situations.
just to keep baseball seats for your heirs??? I do agree that the basketball and baseball situations are completely different, but you might want to rethink your priorities. If your kids are living in a trailer park but have good seats at Dudy Noble, how happy do you think they'd be about it?
The fraternities and such? They are usually there in their lounges more than alumni, so would they be subject to this as well?
Several of my friends and I still go back to watch games because we were exposed via the LFL. I don't have a solution for what to do with student groups, but I think the University should think before they jack up the prices on them.

I would hope they would get some sort of discount since they are student groups and you can pretty much guarantee that they would show up more often than the average alumni group with a few bucks to spare. However, if we're talking ~$2,500, they shouldn't have any problem coming up with that. It's really not more than they spend on a couple of band parties any given football weekend. That price range is still a hell of a deal for that kind of real estate.
Oh, I agree that the price should go up. I just believe that fraternities should be exempt from any priority based location formula. Just let them keep the spots they currently have for 1000-2500$ (or whatever they raise it to).

Hell how about 1500. I'll pay it to get in and so would several others. There is a ton of money in the outfield that could be made.
to express sarcasm in a post. For the record, I do have 4 chairbacks but have not been to a single game all season and do not want my heirs spending my estate on trying to keep the seats. MSU baseball will have to make a huge comeback before folks really start to put any value in holding chairbacks at Dudy Noble....no sarcasm in that.
to make sure the ones holding the spots are paying "market value" for them. If people don't want to join the BC or ante up, then they can go sit in the bleachers.
for ever offering a stupid deal like that. One more reason he ran us into the ground. Leaving lots of money on the table by not priority seating baseball (perhaps our most popular sport). And making the deal permanent.... I am a member of the BC and have great football seats because I ante up. If someone gives the university more, they should get better seats than I do. That's only fair. The least competent AD to ever grace a SEC institution is to blame for all this. I can't blame people like yourself for thinking of your own interest and taking advantage of the incompetence of LT. Even if it contradicts the interest of your alma mater. That's your privilege.
