What in the hell are you talking about?

Re: Pack the Dome!

How about, rather than b------g about who donates how much, and whether anyone gets better seats than other people ...

we consider it a privilege to be able to watch this team play again this coming Saturday. I, for one, have recently moved to Central Florida. I have watched the last two games via the 'net, but am traveling North to Cedar Falls for no other reason this week, other than to watch the 'Cats play. No, I'm no longer a regular attendee at games, I'm not a PSC member (although sure ... I still could be,) and I'll probably get one of those awful tickets outside the 30 yeard line.

Panther fans don't know how good they (we) have it.

Hey JC ... I'm not kidding ... I have NO reason other than Panther FB to drive 1400 miles North on Thursday. See ya ...

BTW ... I agree ... if you're a member of PSC, benefits such as preferred seating should be part of the deal. It's like that all over the place.

Re: Pack the Dome!

I agree 4N6. Who would of thought with all the lost players from last year and with injuries and players being kicked off the team this year the team would be one of four teams still playing. It would be great to see a full house since this team deserves it but either way it will be loud. I have changed my schedule to make it to this game. I was prepared to do about anything so I could make the game.

Re: Pack the Dome!

Does anybody realize that this will be our NINTH game in the Dome this year? That is awesome, and I'm sure it is only a matter of minutes before Jay looks it up and tells me that it is some kind of record for us.

Since I have a reputation to uphold....

UNI also had 9 games in the Dome in 1992:
- 6 regular season home games: Idaho St, ILS, WKU, Idaho, WIU, MSU
- 3 playoff home games: Eastern Washington, McNeese St, YSU

They have had 8 Dome games in two previous seasons, 1985 & 1996

Re: Pack the Dome!

A year ago the PSC conducted a survey and some things this fall were changed due to that survey. I'm sure Kelly at the PSC has the numbers, but the survey was conclusive in member's opinions about seating priority:

1. PSC members and season ticket holders.
2. Season ticket holders, but not PSC members.
3. PSC members who are not season ticket holders.
4. Everybody else.

This has become the priority for seating. In addition, I believe there is now a parking area for season ticket holders who are not PSC contributors. Also the number of discounted tickets available per your contribution level has been reduced. This reduces the 'doughnut effect' at games. Both are good changes, IMO.

Finally, I received a letter in early November spelling out what I needed to do to have my season ticket seats for potentially 3 home playoff games. I did as instructed and receive an email each week with my tickets. I don't know what else UNItix or UNI can do to ensure that season ticket holders sit in their season ticket seats. If you don't reserve per the instructions, then someone else may be in your seats and you are on the 20. It's not like you weren't informed.

what is the "doughnut effect"?

Re: Pack the Dome!

what is the "doughnut effect"?

The doughnut effect occurs when corporate contributors receive numerous tickets for an event and they go unused. Rather than distribute the tickets to the rank and file, they sit in an office drawer unused. Therefore there are empty seats in prime locations with people in seats around the empty seats. Hence the doughnut effect.

Re: Pack the Dome!

As incredibly creepy as that little turn is, your document doesn't tell the whole story. I'll let you figure it out for yourself, but I bet the answer sits somewhere in the neighborhood of what the Panther Scholarship Club is, and what it isn't.

Why is it creepy? you're the one who told me who you were....you make it sound like I'm stalking you or something.

if you give more than me than you should get better seats. if you are Joe Recliner & don't contribute then you shouldn't.

I don't think we should turn this into a long, public debate. You know who I am only because I provided you with a service and gave you something via my public e-mail address, only via private message/e-mail and not on the public portions of the board. That's information, in an anonymous forum, which is being provided in some confidence (especially considering the inability of some - not you, to be clear, but some - to separate a message board from "reality" as it were). To take information provided in confidence, use it to "check up on me" and then present your findings to the board is a first step in the wrong direction.

It sounds close to "I know where you live" and while you certainly didn't cross a line there, you were pointing yourself in the proper direction. I understand I am quite sensitive about these issues, but IMHO someones "identity" shouldn't even be alluded to on a board like this.

Why don't you two lovebirds channel some of your waves of negative consternation into creative energies and come up with some measures to insure 16.5k show up at the dome on Sat afternoon?
