Blue & Gold Room - Is it worth it?

But he does...maybe he gets lost from time to time, ai na?

Evidently The Woj only hangs with the Big Swingin' Dicks...

We get to games early enough that the spread has yet to be picked over.  The kids love the cookies. I can't remember the last time they had potato chips, though.

Typically, the spread consists of a simply veggie tray (carrots, celery, broccoli, cauliflower), popcorn and/or Gardettos, and cookies (decent soft-baked ones, not Chips Ahoy or Oreos).  Sometimes they've thrown some extras in there, but for the most part, it's pretty simple.  IIRC, they had some hot hors-d'ouerves on a couple occasions several years ago, but it's not standard fare.

The coat check and "private" restrooms are decent benefits, too... sure, you can pay $1.00 upstairs to check your coat or visit the restroom on the way to your seats, but either could require you to wait in line.

But like any charitable donation... you're not donating for the benefits.  The benefits are a nice touch for the real reason you're donating... the priority points and tax write-off.  Oh yeah... supporting scholarships, blah blah blah.

Wasn't there a thread that those tax write-offs were going away?
