[QUOTE="Gehörnter Frosch, post: 2397713, member: 79"] This is no different than any other big-time collegiate sports program. At UT, the biggest donors have the best seats, and they have a lot of them. What do they do with the seats they aren't personally sitting in? They give them to clients. They give them to employees. They sell them on the open market. Guess what. Most of the people who receive those tickets are UT fans (or at a minimum dress the part when they go to the game). The problem at TCU is dynamic. We have a lot of big-money, deep pocket donors...just like UT et al. However, we don't have the same proportion of casual / t-shirt fans. Truth be told, we probably need a stadium that seats 30K-35K instead of one that seats 45K-50K. That extra capacity creates enough seats for opposing fans to gobble up the additional tickets that are sold by the big donors. Within the context of premium seats and access by die-hard fans, TCU's seat selection process is fine. However, the stadium capacity is not. All that said, though, true TCU fans can get the best seats if they really want them. Opposing fans are willing to spend the money...why aren't TCU fans? [/QUOTE]
