Star Tribune said:
At Williams Arena, only 46 percent of season tickets (because of obstructed view issues) will carry an additional donation, with a high of $51 per game.

Not factual - it's higher.

Out of curiosity, what is the highest priced ticket?

In the context of the article (all in price including required donation), it depends in your allocation methodology & number of home games... could wind up being $58/game this year if there are only 16 real home games. (14% higher than what the article claims.)

Ticket price/game = $33.
Donation = $400 / 16 games = $25
Total price / game = $33 + $25 = $58

That is an expensive ticket.
 




Show controversial replays

My one hope with a brand spanking new scoreboard is that they won't be afraid to show it off. Read, show replays, especially the controversial ones. If there's a new scoreboard, might as well use it for something useful and game-related, in addition to all the ads.

One can certainly hope, but the current board (even when new) was rarely used that way.

It could actually if the ads are relegated to the ribbon board and the revenue is enough to stop the stupidity during time outs (or times-out, for the snobs.)

Nice dream...but I think ribbon board = MORE advertising. Ribbon board != shifted advertising.
 




I don't get the annoyance with ribbon boards. It's not like the ads aren't already there. They are, they're permanent, and they look horrible and mismatched. At least a ribbon board offers flexibility (i.e. they should be able to make more off the ads they do offer), better display of stats then what they give now, and makes things uniform when the ads are up (my OCD-ish ness coming out, sorry). And though limited, they can do nice team/Gopher specific stuff with it during warmups, timeouts, whenever.

Let me ask you...when since the advent of Adam Smith, has revenue been enough?

It's the constant moving and blinking/flashing. I't like being inside a pin-ball machine.

Same reason I dislike it - but youth are use to this kind of constant visual stimulation and can tune it out . Therefore we can expect advertising to get more and more annoying as we learn to ignore it. Hence the commercials on TV being louder than the program - which I think is no longer permitted.
