Didn't seem to be many seats

[FazaUSF]

Reality: $80 season ticket holders are worthless. I think we've learned that the last 5 or so years.

That's a **** mentality to have. All ticket holders bring something to the table. Just because they can't drop a couple grand on USF season tickets doesn't make them any less important. Butts in seats is what you need, and you need to win games to make that happen above all else. I'm not too keen on driving all the way to St. Pete to watch the Rays but when they offered reasonably priced tickets with a free hot dog & a soda, my butt was in that seat along with 4 others.

The harsh reality is yes, it does make them less important .... I'm not saying they're not important at all, but programs are built on donors, not bargain hunters.

Consider this... I've had low donation seats since graduating USF in 2005 through an MD, an MBA, and now emergency medicine residency. My donation level is about to go wayyyyy up upon finishing residency. Those low donation/no donation seats aren't held solely by fans who don't have the heart. Consider them an investment in fans who just currently don't have the income.
