After 25 years as a season ticket holder, I chose not to renew. My first season was 1999, just before the 2000 history-making spread offense explosion. But I couldn't justify the total cost with the hefty "contribution". Hopefully I will find a better seat at less cost in the new stadium. Not interested in the fancy "amenities". Just a good view of the game and a functional PA system. Go "Cats"!
I'm out

Seems short sighted. Will the quitters forfeit all the priority points they’ve racked up over the years? With the new stadium on the horizon wouldn’t it make sense to tough it out one more year in order to secure the best seats possible in college football’s most luxurious, state-of-the-art stadium?
No, NU has said that STHs who pass for these two years on the lake will not lose any continuity points as STHs.
Of course it isn’t worth it. No different than any other sport. Can you imagine having Blackhawk ST’s? I just renewed after considering dropping for a year. I like the “amenities” and will be a STH next year in the new stadium. I will pay up to get an experience that differs from my TV. After that, my decision may change if I feel the place continues to get overwhelmed by opposing fans. I think Jackson will have a plan that differentiates us NU fans from the one timers from other schools. Brokers won’t buy blocks of tickets if they don’t make money. I find it odd that opposing fans are willing to pay way more than many NU fans. Most opposing fans I run into aren’t one and dones. They go to either home games or a few a year.
I am one of the biggest diehard cat fans and have both season tix for basketball and football. I did not renew for football. I am not going to usc game tonight in basketball you can get a ticket for $2.00. Last week against Rutgers you could have gotten a ticket for $2.00. It will be the same for football this upcoming season. They upset all the loyal fans and there will be plenty of open seats on the second hand markets for $2.00.
Good then those turn coat STH (ie brokers) won’t be able to get any cash for them. Might make them not consider buying the tickets. I would much rather sit next to an empty chair than an opposing fan.
So if you are a basketball STH why aren’t you going tonight? How much would it have costed you for a ticket on the secondary market for Indiana in football or Illinois in basketball? This is how brokers make money. You can go to USC or Washington on the cheap but you aren’t touching a good team that travels for below face.
I don’t care if people don’t renew, but all the bitching on this board can make it insufferable at times.
