Look, as long as the AD is fine with more $$ (by soaking the wealthiest fans) and fewer fans in the stands, this program will continue/expand.
I tend to take a broad view of program health. Crappy attendance, crappy game atmosphere, and a crappy offense will eventually bring down the program. Think about it: the team is on an unprecedented winning run, and attendance still sucks. This latest move by the AD strikes me as a surrender of sorts: "Well . . . we can't boost butts in seats, so let's just extract more from those who buy our premium seats." That will help revenues.
Yeah, maybe, for a while . . .
