If you are in the front row of 204 or in 103-105 and giving the minimum seat donation you are likely to be shuffled around. So we are talking about 50-60 account holders maximum. And they have all been given figures that indicate what it should take to keep those seats.


I would bet you are absolutely correct. Those that renew are highly likely to be happier with their seats, in the vast majority of instances.

I imagine the original poster is correct as well.

I am still not going to play chicken to find out though.

Depends on how much $$$ you have!

Typical mixed message here if the reseat is only for existing season ticket holders.

So encouraged to see donors increase their giving to the @MustangClub as a result of the Moody Coliseum Reseat. Thank you for your generous support! Two new, very generous commitments in the last 1/2 hour #PonyUp

Mustang Club @SMUMustangClub
Thank you Tom Huemiller (@Ponyczar91) who answered the call to #PonyUp! A new commitment to the Indoor Performance Center in response to the Moody Coliseum Reseat. Thank you Tom and the entire Huemiller family! #ShapingChampions

Nice to see new money for the IPF. But this tweet also explains how that $1 million-plus number can exist in connection to this re-seat. They're essentially counting a donation toward brick and mortar as a re-seat donation as well.

Yeah, the new structure to giving is good in that it gives credit to donors for all athletics-related giving, but it makes the comparison numbers pretty meaningless as a measure of the re-seat's success.

I'll be interested to see how it all plays out over the next 5-10 years.

Yes, not complaining at all about the new structure for giving. It makes more sense.
But agree -- a year-to-year comparison for Moody-related donations is impossible now.
The only true metric is going to be butts in seats, something we won't see until November.

Somehow I don't think they will have to make the same donation next year to be able to keep their basketball seats like most others will.
