"The group will meet 3-4 times per calendar year and feedback is encouraged on each of the University’s seven ticketed programs (men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s soccer and volleyball)."
Just win and they will come. Meeting adjourned.
I imagine in reality this will turn into a 45 minute complain-fest.

I have not read the other posts yet so I do not know if this has been mentioned yet. But I might ask to join the committe and the first thing I would suggest is:
Re-do the entire seating structure and put the MU Fanatics in the premium seats on the floor and lower bowl and take them out of the corners behind the backboards.
Completely change the game time experience in one fell swoop. The fans that sit the closest sit on their hands.
STAND UP AND CHEER! Get into it...sway...hop....flail arms...get wild and crazy like they do at Duke. Don't be reactionary and cheer only when the team does something you initate it!!
It is time for the seating to change so the student body can be more into the game like Duke has in Cameron Indoor Stadium with the kids right on top of you.
This is controversial but a MUST. That is what I would advise. And if anyone has an issue with I would remind them that the Bucks new arena is due in two years and it will change anyways.
Which brings me to another thing...work with the Bucks to design that lower bowl and change it now so in two years MU can walk into that building as a Top 3-5 team in the country in an NBA venue!~
CHANGE THE SEATS. STUDENTS DOWN IN FRONT and in lower bowls ONLY.

Won't work. Stadium is too large and the student attendance is less than dependable. All we need is a national broadcast where the most visible seats are empty
-
109. Bring back the 'Lanche and 10 cent Red White and Blues!!!

Sounds nice and when I was a student I'd have agreed but nope. Students never come around for the average games and are spotty over winter break. You can count that the people paying for those seats will show up more than the students. Plus those seats are important for top donors. Now I will say the lower bowl section behind the other backboard has spotty attendance and I'd be in favor of having another section there.

That's actually a good reason to NOT change anything now, because OH BOY the firestorm that'll be created by reversing course in the new building....

The new arena will be designed with one purpose in mind: To make a ton of money for the Bucks. *IF* that manages to align with something that will be beneficial to MU in any way, that's icing on the cake.

How do you make up the financial hit the University takes? Those lower bowl seats generate a lot of revenue, both sales and donations.
-

Naw, I guess they had already filled the "middle-aged white female alum" requirement in their "good cross-section of the applicant pool" by the time they got to me.
Either that, or Joe True personally spiked my application when he saw it come through. "No, not that annoying beyotch!! Anyone but her!"
