Re: Michigan Tech '11-'12 Season Thread I: Hope Springs Eternal
Not sure where yous are from but you sound like a bunch of down state rich bugs with pockets full of raha! Very few people up here are loaded so have a little bit of compassion. 30 plus % are earning below poverty level! There are many senior citizens and folks on fixed incomes that can't afford prices like down state or Wisconsin. $5 may not seem like a lot to you but to some up here it is. Supply and demand will take care of the pricing for sure, just dont' beat up on the people if they complain a bit.
I remember going down state to watch Michigan play at Yost; you could go down any night and watch for $5 bucks. Now I understand it is hard to get a ticket and the cheapest is around $25 bucks.
A winning program will obviously bring a bigger buck; unfortunately this may leave some of the locals out.
I'm all for Tech getting whatever they can for parking and tickets; just hope they don't set pricing too high before they establish the fan base. The kool aid tastes good right now but I don't think we are there yet. You're going to need the local fan base to survive. Students and alum will not support the program.
