there was no CL waiting list. I think the $12.5k extra giving per seat required over 5 years pretty much blew away any list that did exist prior.
The wife and I have had a long discussion about our CL seats, and I will say that the current price level is about the most we'd pay. Another substantial increase anytime soon and I know of several seats that will open up.
I also know that the lack of cover over the new CL endzone seats won't send us scurrying that way, but if we weren't already in the CL and had seats on the east side that might be attractive. Besides no shade in your actual seat, unless they have permanent paid seats next to the glass (which then become far more primo than the outdoor ones) the problem will be the same one as the current CL used to have....lots of people will get there early and claim space near the windows, then stay there the whole game. I'm guessing they've already thought about all this, but if they haven't, they need to.
The loge price sounds a little high, but I'll withhold judgement until I see one in person.
