Geaux Cardinal!
Yeah I think the tool looks awesome. I also used the view finder and the sample views seemed accurate.
I couldn't help scanning around the stadium, and my impressions were:
1) There were fewer seats available than I expected. If a block of friends wanted to move, it could be difficult.
2) I anticipate there will be a *LOT* of compression and horizontal shifting. I was surprised at how full section 117 was. Section 116 (Shady 15 yard line-2 yard line) costs the same as Section 117 (2 yard line-end zone). Unless someone had neighbors they knew and liked, I would think almost anyone in 117 would move over to 116 until 116 was completely filled. I also imagine any available aisle seats will get scooped up.
3) I ran into some Stadium Neighbors at the spring scrimmage and one mentioned someone diagonally behind me (next to him) chose not to renew. The previous STH had 4 seats, but I only see 2 of his seats listed (Seats #5 out of #3-#6). Assuming the person surrendered all 4 seats (#3-#6), I wonder why they weren't listed. One theory is that he kept 2 but plans to resell them all.
4) Comparing the small number of available seats to the small number of people I recognize season-after-season, I suspect there is a significant number of reseller/scalper STHs, and one of the side benefits of using engagement (and donation history) is that it would help keep down the number of scalpers, because if you donate, say $1000 to the university, it's less likely you'd buy season tickets just to make $100-200 a season on each ticket. On the downside, I know of some examples where I feel non-alum, longstanding STHs' loyalty is under-appreciated.
4) Did anyone find any info on parking? I want to upgrade my lot if it's available.
