PSL's Next Year for UNI football???

Re: PSL's Next Year for UNI football???

A PSL usually gives you the right to buy season tickets for a fixed period of time, say 10 or 20 years. It is something that started as a method to help finance new stadium construction in the NFL & NBA (maybe baseball also).

For people with kids you are more then doubling what their season ticket cost in some cases.

family of five goes from paying about $410 to paying $910 if they have decent seats.

What it might do is get people to not get season tickets and just purchase individual game tickets to the games they really want to see.

No doubt in my mind there will be some of that, question is, how much.

Not like the dome sells out, people can skip season tickets and not worry one bit about getting in the door.

At the last DSM PSC meeting I was at, which was held at Johnny's Hall of Fame, Matt Lyons explained the reseating plan for the Dome. I don't remember the exact number, but the percentage of seats that are NOT affected by this plan starts with a '9'. I don't recall if it was 95% or 98% that he said, but it was definitely a 90% or higher number of seats not affected.

If they are $500 donors to the PSC it costs them nothing. I don't think most of the people in this area are parents with kids. It's older fans who have been around long enough to have those seats.

Worst case scenario, they could move to the seats that require a $50 donation per seat, or even to the area where you don't have to donate.

You're either misunderstanding this or digging for something to be mad about.

Donate and you get to have good seats. Don't donate and you can sit elsewhere. Seems pretty cut and dry, as well as fair, to me.

If you don't want to / can't afford the PSC, then you won't have your premium seats. No one is saying you can't get tickets, you just aren't going to be sitting on the 50. I was worried about the proposal at first but I think this is exactly what is needed.

Is eveything on the west side "premium" seating?

What yard line does this start?

I don't believe the 95% number either, if that was the case there would be no reason to put the plan into practice.

Re: PSL's Next Year for UNI football???

This is terrible. They should give the best seats to the real fans who have been here the longest. Also if you are a dual fan you should get stuck with "red" seats.

Re: PSL's Next Year for UNI football???

Anyone know if they are raising the ticket price on single ticket prices (non season tickets and non psc)? I know I usually buy five season tickets to bring friends and kids to the game, but not willing to continue if I can purchase non season tickets and save. Or is the regular prime ticket going to go up $16.00?? Any idea what the extra $$$ are going to be used for?

Pay the bills? Move football closer to profitable?

Amazing to me that we do this, but we can't charge $5 a car for parking that people wouldn't blink an eye at.

That just doesn't sound right to me. There's not much possible gain to tick off 1-2% of the season ticket holders. If you said that 95/98% of PSC donors are not affected it would make sense.

What about the student section? Are they getting moved any? They are taking up a huge number of those seats identified....

Anything between the 30's on the West side and between the 40's (above the students) on the East side is included in this plan, I believe. From the 30's to the 40's is at a $50 per seat donation level and between the 40's is at $100 per seat. On the East side it is just between the 40's above the students and it is $50 per seat.
I also believe the 95% figure is referring to current PSC members. There will be more non-donors affected in this area that will either choose to become donors to maintain their seats or will move to seats outside the 30's.
As someone else mentioned, right now we are the only school besides the Trees to NOT have something like this. In fact, most schools either have actual PSL's or per seat giving levels much higher than this. It is a good plan and very positive for UNI's future.

I doubt ticket prices have been determined for next season yet, but I would assume that season tickets will still have some sort of price break over single game (as has usually been done). The point isn't that you can't buy season tickets if you aren't a donor...it is that you won't be able to buy season tickets between the 30's if you aren't a donor. I have no idea what they would do for single game tickets, though. Hopefully all the premium seats are sold to season ticket holders. Dare to dream.
