Quote from: elite recruit
I considered LSU and USC and UF, but uofk had those recliners in the endzone. I thought they were hilariously retarded at first, but then they got a cyber gold medal from some site I'd never heard of, and that CHANGED EVERYTHING. Plus I raped my 12 year old cousin AND my dad needed a job, so you don't have to be a math genius to solve that problem.

Showing they'll give an award for anything . . . ku just won one by parking a doublewide in the endzone and putting in some polyvinyl loungers and a keg.

You stay classy ku.

Seats were sold on both a single-game and season basis and sold out for the 2008 season.  Season tickets cost $2,500 for recliners and $1,500 for SportsStools, while individual game tickets ranged from $200-$450 per game.

Stools? At least you could have given bleachers or even plastic chair backs. :lol:

That's the worst place for that.  The closer you sit at a football game, the less you can actually see the game and appreciate it.  Now if they did this in the press box area....

Kansas Athletics Wins Gold Medal For Revenue-Generating Idea

June 24, 2009

LAWRENCE, Kan. – Kansas Athletics won the gold medal for Best New Revenue-Generating Idea in 2008-09 at the National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators’ annual convention last week.

Kansas won for its Touchdown Club seating at Kivisto Field at Memorial Stadium.  To capitalize on a previously unused open space in the south end zone, Kansas Athletics created an exclusive luxury seating and hospitality club at home football games.

The Club offers fans an experience unlike any other in college or pro football. Members receive amenities such as a private upscale buffet, wait staff service and private restrooms.  The area includes 84 luxury Jayhawk recliners and 33 flat-screen LCD televisions.  It also includes 28 “SportStools” that provided fans a less-expensive option.

Seats were sold on both a single-game and season basis and sold out for the 2008 season.  Season tickets cost $2,500 for recliners and $1,500 for SportsStools, while individual game tickets ranged from $200-$450 per game.

The Touchdown Club is already sold out for the 2009 season.

Do they have BOGO offers for those seats too?

Hell, if it's a good enough deal, I might just have to buy one... If, for nothing else, just to spend a few hours in a "luxurious" leather chair.  Haven't ever tried one out, but I heard they're incredible.

Sorry, overstuffed leather recliners at ANY outdoor sporting event attended in person are 100% unadulterated WT.  I don't care if it's Snob Hill or the freaking British Open.

Perhaps for the recliner attendees with especially small man units, you could offer BMW roundel embroidery to compensate.

Because you can't see the game from the worst seats in the house, but it all becomes worth a ton of extra cash with recliners and a tv. Really gives you that gameday experience w/ the comfort of your own home....wait, why not just turn your tv up real loud at home?

Note to Billy Blaze:  Have luxury seating for wealthy fans. (Do it fast, nobody else has heard about this.)

This gold medal idea seems to encourage the purchaser to sit during a football game.  So now you are making more money while simultaneously neutering the home field advantage.   They might as well screen them in, install some hotel A/C and video game consoles.  Maybe some rent-a-pron as well.

 :confused:

I just checked, actually, and the majority of the major encyclopedias actually have pictures of leather recliners in the "white trash" entry to help illustrate.  Seriously.  You can't honestly think the "touchdown club" is somewhat classy.  Equivalent to having a John Deere dealership and NASCAR fan shop in the stadium (but on TV all the time and therefore more LOLlable).

Yeah, HDTVs aren't associated with WT at ALL.  It's not like they're the living room centerpiece in every trailer and crappy apartment in America.

Plenty of non-WT have HDTVs, but the argument could easily be made that the lower classes actually have bought into them at a higher, more rapid rate than middle-class and above.  It's a fairly cheap piece of consumer electronics easily "purchased" on a credit or store card, not a Gallardo.

Has anyone looked up some of the past winners of this "award"?  Pretty lame.

2004 : Cal - Best New Revenue Generating Idea -- for the creation of the BlueZone and GoldZone inside Memorial Stadium.  (seriously....that's called a student section)

http://www.calbears.com/genrel/061404aab.html (http://www.calbears.com/genrel/061404aab.html)

Unknown year: Michigan - The gold medal-winning Best New Revenue Generating Idea was the sale of fan photos at U-M football games at Michigan Stadium.   :jerkoff:

http://www.mgoblue.com/clubs/article.aspx?id=71786 (http://www.mgoblue.com/clubs/article.aspx?id=71786)

Also from Michigan...I thought this was rich:  The Best Basketball Attendance Promotion was NASCAR Night on Feb. 21, where mini "Michigan 89" cars were given away to fans.

2008: Middle Tennessee St - the Blue Raiders earned a silver award for the Family Fun Zone, an area inside Floyd Stadium created to target families with children’s activities like inflatables, face-painting and balloon artistry.   :lol:

Not to rain on the ku fans parade, but the Mets had this idea first...

The Mets installed them prior to their '07 season and they were such a hit that year that this happened....

Has anyone looked up some of the past winners of this "award"?  Pretty lame.

2004 : Cal - Best New Revenue Generating Idea -- for the creation of the BlueZone and GoldZone inside Memorial Stadium.  (seriously....that's called a student section)

Unknown year: Michigan - The gold medal-winning Best New Revenue Generating Idea was the sale of fan photos at U-M football games at Michigan Stadium.   :jerkoff:

Also from Michigan...I thought this was rich:  The Best Basketball Attendance Promotion was NASCAR Night on Feb. 21, where mini "Michigan 89" cars were given away to fans.

2008: Middle Tennessee St - the Blue Raiders earned a silver award for the Family Fun Zone, an area inside Floyd Stadium created to target families with children’s activities like inflatables, face-painting and balloon artistry.   :lol:

Cal's Blue Zone and Gold Zone are just Fun Zones without the added fun of General Admission.  I don't know why they have their student section behind the home team...LHFAIQ (home field advantage).  :dunno:

Magino would call campus security.  I'm sure he's never seen a treadmill.
