Interesting thought Wes. At least in basketball, it appears that we are going the other way with prices. This year there is a new promotion for Tuesday nights - two for one pricing (works out to $7.50 a ticket). I sit in section 3 in the platinum seats and in section 4 their are a ton of new faces this years. The old faces have moved up to the gold or silver sections or to the family packs where they can just trickle down into all of the vacant seats. The price for 4 platinum seats is now $1720 which pushed those folks out. I'm afraid the prices that you're quoting will do the same for football especially with the lack of quality opponents in the Convo and Peden. 2016, deja vu all over again.

Oh no this ruined my week!

But hey ND is at the top.

If you need upgraded concessions why don't you spring for a couple of seats in the Tower Club.

Hmm...sounds like they are judging this from a Tuesday night MACtion game, which is not a true representation of the stadium experience. There's no way BGSU's stadium beats Peden.

Oh well, no one really should take these lists seriously.

A clickbait list should not generate so much hand wringing. Even if we were #1 on this list, it wouldn't change the fact that we're a money-losing G5 program that has no chance to move into a power conference. As others have pointed out, Peden is functional. Investing a lot in it is not a good use of funds. Even if I agree that it's a total dump (I don't), it would still be a dump we use six or eight times a year. It legitimately sells out once a year.

How can anyone justify spending more when the program already has to be subsidized? Anything spent on Peden only exacerbates that. Akron proved that people stay home if the team and games are bad. Perfect urinals are not really a selling point, and with the exception of Bobcat Love, no one stays home due to a bad pretzel. Maybe a shiny stadium has a minor impact on recruiting, but I think most of us recognize that kids choose schools based on coaches and opportunity to excel more than a stadium. They don't have to eat the pretzels after all.

College athletics is changing fast. No one knows what it will look like in a few years - let alone more - and the thing most likely to change dramatically is football. The G5 may end up relegated farther down the food chain. Paying players may make football financially untenable for G5 members like us. Football itself may change or disappear in the long-term as evidence mounts about brain injuries.

To me it adds up to a horrible choice for major upgrades.

I buy new cars when the old one won't start.

I drive my car more than 5 or 6 times a year.

Am I crazy or couldn't you fix about 40 percent of what ails Peden aesthetically by buying a good quality wrap to put around the base and concrete top of the 1986-addition bleachers along with better quality wraps for the front of the student side?

Anyone got some extra cash laying around?
