Eric,
I'm sorry to hear this. There are plenty of non-donation options around the stadium that people can move into. The sight lines around our stadium are very good. Â
Stanford has been on the low end of ticket pricing and required donations for a very long time. With the rising costs of college athletics and providing scholarships to student athletes, I'm not surprised that the AD has made this move. It has been under discussion for some time. We are now a top ten program and there is demand for seats between the 20's. This is an efficient way to re-seat the stadium, which many top programs do every year. I guess I look at it as the price of success. 10 years ago this program would not have been an option. Â
