Speaking of attendance. What is CU going to do about the tunnels to seats? Someone going to get hurt. They were dangerously crowded 30 minutes before kickoff. People with little kids getting crushed. My daughter punched some guy in the face because he was trying to smash his way through the crowd.
Your daughter is a true hero.
I hope not. Screwing over season ticket holders because you’re upset over losing out on the resale market is a bad idea.
The answer to this requires a major retrofit to the stadium. They have to take out the interior walkway. Turn that walkway into seating and stairs to the upper level. Nobody is walking in that walkway, people go right through the tunnels to their seats.
Unfortunately…
I doubt they go way up but they will increase. Everything is about $$

WTF?
How is it screwing over anyone if CU charges a market rate?
Assuming season ticket holders are the ones selling tickets on SeatGeek, CU would be taking that delta out of their pocket and pricing some of them out. Prime won’t be at CU forever and the university needs people who won’t disappear when he goes. But I accept that it’s just my opinion and not the market reality.

CU isn't selling at the secondary ticket market rate. Season ticket holders and single game holders were able to purchase below that price.
Of course and the suggestion seems to be that CU charge them the full secondary market price up front. Just look at all of the efforts by musicians to capitalize on the secondary market for concerts. It just pisses people off.

WTF?
What suggestion?
My takeaway from Leon’s post that ticket prices would go way up next year.
You guys make good points. I had a logic disconnect with the quote I was responding to. Avg resale price is not to be misconstrued with avg overall price.
I was looking at the insanity on Saturday night.
I do think playing a season at Mile High might be in our near future. Folsom as currently constructed is not sustainable, and a piecemeal operation might not be feasible either.
I think we need to think about what could be accomplished in a December to August of the year after next time period.
The walkway needs to be done away with, the tunnels need to be expanded, bathrooms need to be moved out of the tunnels and more built in the concourses, and use that time to renovate the west side, close in the north end, and add a tier to the south end.
Am I crazy in thinking that all could be done in 19‐20 months?

Yes I'm crazy or yes it's feasible?
And don't any of you ****ers just say yes again.
Yeah, those tunnels were no joke. My husband and I got stuck in one about 45 minutes before the game and it was just a mass of (mostly student) bodies. Some girl was passing out. I really thought I was going to get knocked over, but I eventually got spit out outside the stadium. A lady in a wheelchair was yelling that nobody would let her through. Once we got around, we went through our normal tunnel (8?) and it wasn't that crowded, but as kickoff got nearer my husband said it was super-crowded to get back from the concessions.
The question was .... "Am I crazy".
Wonder if I witnessed the same or even more guys.
You craycray dudehead.
Playing in Denver sucked.
Playing in ft. fvckery sucks.
This is a body bag game with no upside for us. I’d rather schedule a directional borderline community college than play a three win team who will drag our reputation down all season.
