6% increase for JTC tickets. Around 20%-25% increase for everyone else... Don't love those optics. I wonder if there is resistant in raising JTC levels to near $2000??

On a dollar per game difference it pretty low for everyone

Having 3 season camping options near campus will be a home run!!! Especially in a post-COVID germ sensitive world.
I did the same math as you, and agree optics aren't ideal. At least get it a little higher than 6%...

I'm surprised they didn't raise the minimum donation for the Sukup from $500 to $1,000. But, raising the seat prices $150 effectively raises an additional $600 (assuming 4 seats).

Some day I will tell my kids about the mud hole that used to be where the big rigs park.

They'll love that story as much as stories about the bowling alley on duff. Or the fox lounge 2 :D

Really appreciate the transparency from JP here

$1750*2 is $3500, x4 is $7000. I just have to think he was getting pushback at a certain level. Just doesn't make sense to me. Raising JTC tickets to $2K is a faster way to raise $1M than raising mobile ticket prices by $50

Two thoughts:
1. I imagine Jamie texting CMC: "Just finished up the editing on the big video and about to send out...just confirming you are here...it's literally one of my three selling points" LOL
2.I wonder if Barta does one of these....and if he has a graph about millions lost to lawsuits and future projections of those losses :cool:

Point of order, the RV lots are $5M. The other $5M was for Iowa State Center parking lots.

Perhaps I missed it, but what is the work being done on those parking lots? Repave/repair?

i'm waiting for the people who complained about netflix raising prices $2/month to complain about this.
this you are at least getting something in return I swear if it wasn't for the wiggles and some of the other kids shows on there it would be getting the axe here soon in our house.
