How to Make Moody Better for SMU Fans

[DiamondM]

Had a friend inquire about the price for a single game suite, and if I understood correctly, the price is $3500 NOT INCLUDING tickets or any food and beverage. This is more than Mavs or Stars (which include the tickets and a food/beverage package). This seems a bit of an overreach, and is guaranteed to keep those suites empty more than full.

They the president of this university isn't using his resources wisely if that suite is EVER empty during a game. I could fill that thing in 15 minutes.

+1. pretty weak on Turner's part if that is true

Co-sign. Donate it to faculty members or a student organization if you're not using it

i would be pretty upset if I showed up after the second timeout and lost my seat. given that i work in plano, it's almost impossible to make it by game time during the week.

but i will concede that the empty seats are an issue.

They might fill them with students as temporary seat holders until the actual seat holders arrive for the game. That way everyone is in good shape.

i'd be ok with that.

Aren't the huge corner suites "event suites". I don't think a season ticket holder has them I think they are for people planning parties and corporate events.

I had a friend look into getting one for ONE game and they quoted him like $12,000. If that's the case, they will never fill those.

Are some of them sold on a per game basis? I thought they were all leased or whatever

1. SMU needs to address the problem of the no shows to basketball games. I think that since we are capping the free students tickets at 750, we should make a line of students outside of moody. First come, first serve type deal. After the second time out, the students in line can fill in all the empty seats.

Someone tweeted Rick Hart about that and he is working on it.

“@ryanfoster365: @AD_RickHart Just a suggestion, but if red seats are empty, let others move down. Thx!” Have some ideas to introduce. Thx!

Who would pay that much for 1.5-2hrs of entertainment with no beverages included? Lets be realistic SMU

As a red seat guy,let me b..... A bit...the guy next to us told me today he would not come back...that the seats were cheap,there is no leg room...that they do not qualify as premium. ..he has back problems...I agree with him but we will still bethere for every game....but I can understand why some folks don't think these seats are close to premium...

[Stallion]

Oh geez

[StallionsModelT]

Good grief. Get over it. Its not a day at the spa its a sporting event. Those seats are great down there.

[East Coast Mustang]

Hopefully he gave his seats to other fans who don't demand a chair from Buckingham Palace for their game viewing experience

[Stallion]

could be problem for those with "wide stance"

[gostangs]

tell that guy to hit the road - if he has back problems then he cant get up and yell - therefore he needs to sit up higher and relinquish his seat.

[PonyKai]

Actually, the whiner - I'm sorry - the hypochondriac might have a point. Americans are so incredibly fat these days we probably should have been forward thinking and made each "seat" an entire Futon. Otherwise in 10 years, how many fans will we actually be able to fit in to the Coliseum?

And the SMU stereotype continues.....
