Clark,   I appreciate your explanation and I understand your position.  However, maybe the issue lies with Athletics, I am not sure.  The fact that fans pay $25.00 for those lower seats every single game is absolutely nuts.  I tried to get Brandon, (FazaUSF, my boyfriend, USF alumnus)  in for a companion game when he was up visiting and they wanted to charge him $20.00!!  I am sorry, but when a team is not performing, we can't complain about why no one goes, when we are charging an arm and leg to get in!  I love my Bulls, but if I was an average resident in Tampa, I would not pay $100.00 a night for my family to go see a less than average team play and probably lose.  That doesnt even count parking and food.  Even professional teams recognize this.  The Lightning offer $8.00 day of game tickets.  THe Devil Rays offer free parking, very cheap tickets, and you can bring in your own **** cooler!!  Obviously this brings more people.  Maybe we can offer a $5.00 upgrade at halftime for the seats that aren't taken.  Or do something to encourage people to care to come, cuz our team just isn't doing it. It's very frustrating to be there and see the empty seats, and then the seats that are filled, the fans just sit and stare. Maybe it is because they just realized how much money they are paying to see this crap.  -Brittany P.S.- Before some jerk attacks me, I have not missed a single game this season and have even made two away game, I am ALWAYS on my feet the whole game and I am usually waiting outside the sundome before the players even show up.  I am a BIG fan, but sometimes that means criticizing.
