Renovations are always expensive, so there is going to be an optimal level for renovation expenses and expansion revenues.<br /><br />So far packer fans and season ticket holders have done a pretty good job of keeping the corporate crowd out in large part to the loyalty of the fan-base. I remember the schlacking dallas gave them at home 2008. I was truly impressed with how many people stayed for the fourth quarter and how little dallas fans there were.Asshalonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328789579487679553.post-90544799239954665692010-07-11T14:38:06.046-05:002010-07-11T14:38:06.046-05:00Anything that can help reduce the waiting list, wi...Anything that can help reduce the waiting list, without damaging the Packers organization, I would be in favor of. How many of us would not give up so much just to lay claim to one or two tickets per year? I definitely would. Unfortunately, unless the seating capacity at Lambeau increases approx. 70k in the next few years, my chances of being able to call myself a season ticket holder in my lifetime remain at zero.jrehorhttp://twitter.com/jrehornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328789579487679553.post-66320133485807757202010-07-11T11:33:29.678-05:002010-07-11T11:33:29.678-05:00At my age, C.D., I've already given up on any ...At my age, C.D., I've already given up on any chance at having Season Tickets fall into my lap. Scalper's Alley is my home when I can't find a generous Cheesehead to help an old soul out.<br /><br />Last time, I was able to get away and be at Lambeau, was half a decade ago, at the Steeler's game in '05. We had 10th row seats at the 25-yard line, behind the Packer's Bench.<br /><br />Before that, in 2004, we made the Home Opener against da bears, and enjoyed meeting Willie Davis and many of the old-time Greats from the 60's Lombardi Team(s). Sitting down to chat with Dave Robinson was a memory I'll take to the grave with me. What a great guy! He was sitting there signing two cases of his Book, for the fans.... real down to earth.<br />Who knows, maybe I'll make it up there this year. Course, takin' care of the Lambeau Midwest process is always just as fun as ever.<br />GO PACK !IPBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03931852283204108373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328789579487679553.post-26572462635842880552010-07-10T22:47:51.974-05:002010-07-10T22:47:51.974-05:00I believe each person on the list can buy up to fo...I believe each person on the list can buy up to four seats. If that is true, then your plan might provide ticket opportunities to less than half on the waiting list. If the limit is two tickets, the number of fans offered tickets might get to fifty thousand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328789579487679553.post-42438629202814100302010-07-10T20:24:12.289-05:002010-07-10T20:24:12.289-05:00I know this will not happen since lambeau renovate...I know this will not happen since lambeau renovated recently but the best option would be to add 30,000 more seats or so. they would still have 58,000 people on the waiting list and it would be another way to generate more money for the franchise to keep with the larger market teams like the cowboys and redskins if the salary cap remains absent.Travis Cleavengernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328789579487679553.post-24791711979008371952010-07-10T12:16:22.165-05:002010-07-10T12:16:22.165-05:00Good thoughts, C.D.

I would like for my unborn children to be able to get tickets. :)<br /><br />However, I don't see how it would benefit the Packers to shorten the waiting list. I see how the fans benefit, but what do the Packers as an organization gain?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328789579487679553.post-86381005824057015772010-07-10T10:43:46.903-05:002010-07-10T10:43:46.903-05:00Excellent thoughts and a great proposal.
