Plus if there is such a demand and a waiting list, why was the Boulevard half empty in November. What really needs to happen is that the people who don't use their spots be removed. Then there would be plenty of spots for everyone who wants them.

If you didn't notice, $100 a game is more than the Cowboys charge. And they were 13-3!


Listen dude, if you don't want to pay it, then don't. whats stopping you? But everyone seems to be in support of upping the stakes in order to get things on track. The Economic majors would call you a free rider...you have no problem getting to top 25 status as long as you aren't "taxed" for it. Honestly, maybe the cowboys can play on saturday and you can go watch big game Romo tear it up.

Thats about right.

I do not like the price increase.

Last year I had help to retain my spot and that actually made us a closer group. Pull the wagon together. This year I bet that happens again.

PM me a join the Mustang Club. :-)

It does seem just a bit odd to raise the prices again so soon especially following a 1-11 season, but the BLVD is still a wonderful experience and well worth the money. I drove down the BLVD today and decided, yeah it's still worth it! In fact there should be more excitement this year on the SMU BLVD than ever before!

I'm impressed that you filmed and drove at the same time. I couldn't do it.

Don't pay it then. Let someone who would be more than excited to have a spot get off the waiting list. Last year, i thought the increase was a little excessive, but not this year. Hell, i'm trying to get a second space, so if you don't want it, PM me, and let me know. I'll buy it if i can get it moved adjacent to mine OR i know someone who will pay for it.

as for the cowboys, I would equate the blvd to the VIP spaces, which are closer to $150/game - more on the open market.

and btw, way to really make a stand in protest by witholding your $120 from the Mustang Club. That'll show 'em.
Ok this is getting ridiculous...I agree with Dutch on THIS ONE POST by him totally
