Yeah you have to be careful with the pricing/donation requirements. Ask Gary Barta about that....
I think you have to look at the corners in a NEZ plan for the students. Those would not be high value seats and not donor seats. In turn shifting the students to the corners, from say the nondonor sections on the side through the corner, then actually selling the donor seats at the higher value plus donation, you would increase your ROI. Because you are earning way more on something you were not earning much before. there are a lot of high value seats in the student section that could be shifted to the corner(low value section) this increases the ROI.
It's not just a bout ROI. The students deserve the experience they get in the current sections and there is no way JP is going to fleece them for a few more bucks. These people are potential future season ticket holders and donors.
Not for or against but having the students in a bowled in NEZ, could increase homefield advantage when opponents are in that end. carry on!
Agreed. I know ISU has dramatically more students than Baylor, but I wish we'd do something like the Freshman Line to indoctrinate them early into ISU fandom.
The new $25 million K-State south end zone project adds suites plus a lot of other stuff connecting to the basketball arena. It validates much of what is said here about the value of expanding the private suite/box revenue stream.
How many seats do you add by taking away the hillsides?
One problem with a lot of football stadiums is they price out the rabid fans that give them the home field advantage. Sure you make more money catering to the people with more money, but you tend to lose the wild fans who created the atmosphere in the first place.
I say that as someone who used to only be able to afford the cheap seats growing up and having known many rabid fans in the same boat.

Still ugly.
Some of you guys have are missing something. The ROI on student seating is simply longer term. Where do you think all those current donors came from, anyway?
How many other stadiums have students on the side damn near to mid field..... Not many. This is my super fast photoshop of what Im taliking about. Do they move sure. but still have some on the side. You also are complaining about an experience and moving people to the endzone when we have some of our most expensive seats in our SEZ.
Sorry but in the end it is till about money and when there is demand for more seats for donors....LIKE THIS YEAR, students will end up shifting to the cheaper seats.
Again this is a super quick photoshop job and I know the NEZ wont mirror the SEZ but it is just an example of what I mean. This shifts the students, increases the student seating, and also expands donor seating on the East side into former student sections.
I like that image so much, I’d used it as my profile pic…if I’d been the one to come up with it.
Couldn't disagree more. Fans with less money watch the game at home. I wish this wasn't the case as someone who isn't "rich". But we are only able to tailgate where we do because we pool multiple families together. There is backlog of people wanting to get into the SEZ and all the suites are sold out. You build more suites before anything else.. End of the conversation
You may find it that way, not arguing. I wouldn't enjoy being in there as a visitor either. My point was simply that the renovation was all about adding suites to the football stadium. By doing so, the long-term stadium plan is now complete.
What is your infatuation with italics? It's almost as bad as caps lock.
That’s why you make plans for additional “cheap seats” and a family zone as part of the project, along with the high end portions.
Pollard called the Stark Performance center's view of JTS the best view on campus.. The are not getting rid of that view any time soon. You are delusional if you actually think that happens
Getting kids to run around on a grassy hillside for cheap has a MUCH higher ROI than paving those seats into concrete and putting mobile pass season ticket holders there.
KIds parents buy drinks, food and swag. Kids someday will pay tuition to ISU and later on become donors sitting at midfield.
A bunch of middle aged people paying for a mobile pass NEZ seat don't even sniff the potential of those hillsides

This may be true, I heard a rumor from someone that CMC and Pollard have both expressed wanted to go UP on the sides before doing anything with the NEZ. Meaning they want either a 3rd deck or skybox on one or both sides before doing anything to the NEZ. Take that for what its worth it is a rumor, that someone supposedly heard from inside the program.
But with that in mind you could still do the lower bowl without changing the view from the SPC.
