Kolek planning to go pro
Rochester, MN. The upcoming season will be our 18th year up here, with season tix the whole time.I'd love to stop for chili, but the missus puts her foot down. We do frequent Sobelman's though....
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
Ugh, that's a horrible drive, too. Especially that stretch between Rochester and LaCrosse during winter. Is your wife from there or did she get a job at Mayo?
Has anyone selected their seats yet and have any insights?
That's a fairly substantial figure. They raise about $4.5 million or so every year. 5.6% is $250,000.
I wonder how many STH would drop if they introduced a tax included price that was a 5.6% increase. I don't think it would be all that much, especially with a good communications strategy explaining the switch and resultant benefits.
Doubt it would deter too many.
They did back off of that new 30 minute rule. Glad of that. I just found out from several via email that the Vadgers do not do reseating for fb or bb. That being the case why do we? They do call the extra amount a donation and have different levels like we do. Also posts on a Badger board mention the 80% rule for Federal and that Wisconsin uses when the the itemized deduction credit is calculated. Of course sales tax is another issue. Just wondering what is going on. WDOR to MU yes you must WDOR to Wisconsin don't worry about it. Or maybe WDOR to MU - well do what you want.
If that's true it's changed. I spoke to Joe True when they started this and Wisconsin was already on an annual reseating plan. Either that or he gave me faulty information.
I think Joe had a need to say that. More folks have told me no re seating. Was with a long time UW hockey season ticket holder today. Never has had any re seating. Two emails yesterday from fb season ticketholders. No reseating for fb. One told me Alverez would like to reseat to reward big long time donors. So. What gives here!
A cynic might say that the only reason that remains is to drive donations to the B&G Fund. An optimist might say that this allows MU to adequately fund its athletic department, as the big State school doesn't need to do so because of it multiple funding sources.
Once saw a HS hockey game between Mayo and Marshall. Rockin'. Must have been 2000 fans. It was very cool. Hockey is king in Mn.
80 incher? Dats quite da rocket, hey?
I selected tonight at 7:30, first year in many that I didn't make a donation. My rank fell, my time moved back and my 4 seats moved up 4 rows. Also first year that I didn't go in person-asked Joe True to rep me and he got me on the phone, kept me informed, confirmed seats when done. Disappointed in the commotion, in the new seats, in the process in general.Missed the fun of 'in person' selecting, but had a complication.
