Shea field wristbands question

Postby tailgater94 on Sun Nov 23, 2014 10:54 am

I haven't been to any home games this year but am going to Cuse game. Are wristbands needed to walk on to Shea? Can people get on Shea without them if they have just a game ticket? What time do they shut down the gate if you don't have a wristband?

A wristband = a fast pass onto Shea. You do not need it but the wait can be very long if you do not have it. It's all about crowd control so I don't know if there is a set time as much as a capacity level which will most likely not be met on the Saturday after Thanksgiving against SU. :ace

No more wrist bands this year. 20 passes per spot (which are now assigned).

So no access without one of the 20 passes, something tells me Shea will be a bit emptier this year.

Just curious, is it 20 passes per game or for the whole season?

It's like they brainstorm ways to make the gameday experience more and more of a Mickey Mouse operation

excuse me, do you not appreciate the huge tailgating improvements made during the 3 years of the Bates administration?

no longer the shortest pregame tailgate in the p5
no longer lining up like cattle pregame
no longer harassed by staties earning that time and a half
lots priced in line with market demand so they're more than 20%
hospitality tents!

i told them thanks for encouraging me to donate less to BC

didnt go back to shea this year thank god

love how they encourage "gold alumni pool donating" then dont realize a problem with limiting the capacity of a place you are encouraging group donating.

things like this will happen when the people who work in your athletic office are less intelligent than the alumni who went to the school.

i think it's fair to encourage "pool donating" of more that $5 a person. what do you fucking nerds have to donate (as a pool) to get into shea field - $2,000? so $200/couple would get you and your common law partner your passes into the gates and on your way to your assigned parking place if you found 9 other bi-curious couples to make the same donation. i don't think that's too much to ask
now in the street there is violence
and, and a lots of work to be done
no place to hang out our washing
and, and i can't blame all on the sun

yes but what if your friends from the slytherin house wanted to join you for a game?

the cost isnt the problem its limiting the capacity...you have 5 people put in 400 or whatever, they bring 3 people each youre already at your limit

your tailgates in the mods only have 15 pepole back in the glory days?

you want to bring more people, you have to pay more money.

sorry millennials, the world isn't free. sometimes, if you want nice things you have to pay for them.

i'm not denying that the limit on guests is mickey mouse but to complain that it hurts group donors more than standard donors is douchy and part of why all other generations hate you and hope the majority of you are killed in a war.

last i checked, there were no limits on how many people could attend a mod tailgate (except for the fence that nerdification built). nice straw man though

i never said it hurt the group donors more than standard donors, what i said is they shouldnt encourage group donorship in an area where they will be limiting capacity. just make group donorship up on upper or something

bitching about millenials and group donorship is stupid. its not as if you wouldnt have done it if the option was afforded to you. if you didnt, youd be stupid

it's dumb that they limit capacity but allegedly that's a fire marshal requirement. so you accept what the man says and move on... not bitch that you are getting screwed because you donated at a discount.

and you're right... i would have done it if i lived in the area and planned to attend games. i would have paid for my portion and expected to receive my portion of the benefit. if i paid a quarter of the price i would expect a quarter of the capacity. you're paying a quarter of the price and expecting full capacity (or even that the rules should be ignored because mommy says you are special and you should get to bring as many of your dead beat friends that donated nothing that you wanted).

expecting special treatment after receiving special rules for donating is dumb. it's "braylon edwards is a hall of famer" dumb

there's likely some spell his buddies from the slytherin house could cast to provide them with limitless capacity. but since magic is about as likely as these participation ribbon wearers accepting that they get what they pay for... we'll likely have this argument for the rest of our lives

With the new rules and home slate this year, how many times will it come close to reaching that capacity? The money isn't the issue, its that BC's tailgating was already clownshoes, and instead of doing something to improve that we just trade it in for an even bigger pair.

It was a huge issue at the last ND game.

and i agree that limiting capacity for everyone is small time. i don't agree that it's smaller time for the group donors.

there is no perfect solution.

- if you offer it as first come, first served then the old people that do donate the actual money will not get their friends on shea field because the crush of students will assume all of the capacity.

- if you limit it by handing out passes to those that do donate some may choose to avoid the hassle of some of the shitty games and you wind up with unused capacity.

i think the mystique of shea field has passed and if i lived in the area i'd donate at a level that got me a spot in one of the garages. that way, i could invite the 15 people that came to my mod (from a totally unrelated and disjointed argument), the entirety of the slytherin house, margie from lower and all her friends and anyone else i damn well pleased. i certainly wouldn't bitch that i should be able to do whatever i want to do because i deserve it for ponying up 1/16th of what those around me ponied up

tyrant and i are on the same page, they have accomplished their goal of taming (destroying) shea. i'm in a garage with my group of nerds, we grab some some field area on lower. we can grill, people don't need tickets (which was an issue during the spaz disaster), people can carry booze to our tailgate, we don't have dopey wristbands, etc. and if it's crappy weather we can just hop into the garage

yeah my comment about assigned spots was tongue in cheek, it will be a complete disaster. so what happens when a guy who has the row nearest to the beacon garage and arrives at the fsu game at 7:10?

The people who are already on Shea and have been drinking for 2+ hours will kindly make way for him, I am certain.

and i agree that limiting capacity for everyone is small time. i don't agree that it's smaller time for the group donors.

there is no perfect solution.

- if you offer it as first come, first served then the old people that do donate the actual money will not get their friends on shea field because the crush of students will assume all of the capacity.

- if you limit it by handing out passes to those that do donate some may choose to avoid the hassle of some of the shitty games and you wind up with unused capacity.

i think the mystique of shea field has passed and if i lived in the area i'd donate at a level that got me a spot in one of the garages. that way, i could invite the 15 people that came to my mod (from a totally unrelated and disjointed argument), the entirety of the slytherin house, margie from lower and all her friends and anyone else i damn well pleased. i certainly wouldn't bitch that i should be able to do whatever i want to do because i deserve it for ponying up 1/16th of what those around me ponied up


i am missing why people are stupid for pooling together money to offset costs if they so choose?

people did it before a "gold" discount, and theyre going to do it after should the discount be removed.

i dont understand the significance. are you telling me that if a few 35 year olds split the 5k instead of the 2500 that younger alums get theyd be stupid too?

i also never said its of equal importance to group donors. what i said was if youre going to encourage group donating at a discounted rate to incentivize people to attend games such that when were number 2 in the country and a monsoon is occuring we still reach max capacity, do it in a location where space is not an issue, such as upper campus.
hey huerta if you readin this dont tell jimmy **** that i put xlax in teh chuck wagons...lol

love how they encourage "gold alumni pool donating" then dont realize a problem with limiting the capacity of a place you are encouraging group donating.

i think it's fair to encourage "pool donating" of more that $5 a person. what do you fucking nerds have to donate (as a pool) to get into shea field - $2,000? so $200/couple would get you and your common law partner your passes into the gates and on your way to your assigned parking place if you found 9 other bi-curious couples to make the same donation. i don't think that's too much to ask


yes but what if your friends from the slytherin house wanted to join you for a game?

the cost isnt the problem its limiting the capacity...you have 5 people put in 400 or whatever, they bring 3 people each youre already at your limit

you want to bring more people, you have to pay more money.

sorry millennials, the world isn't free. sometimes, if you want nice things you have to pay for them.

i'm not denying that the limit on guests is mickey mouse but to complain that it hurts group donors more than standard donors is douchy and part of why all other generations hate you and hope the majority of you are killed in a war.

last i checked, there were no limits on how many people could attend a mod tailgate (except for the fence that nerdification built). nice straw man though


i never said it hurt the group donors more than standard donors, what i said is they shouldnt encourage group donorship in an area where they will be limiting capacity. just make group donorship up on upper or something

bitching about millenials and group donorship is stupid. its not as if you wouldnt have done it if the option was afforded to you. if you didnt, youd be stupid


Do you think the Shea field capacity is limitless?


it was prior to bates. not that this has anythign to do with my argument.

another horrible example. shea field was closed for that fsu game because of the weather you reference.

i don't see what encouraging people to donate in groups has to do with their group getting the same 20 passes as an individual that donates the same amount. it's not an incentive to get people to games, it's an incentive to get people to donate what they can and still provide them with a benefit for that donation. the gold discount is much more about filling the flynn fund coffers than it is about filling alumni stadium
now in the street there is violence
and, and a lots of work to be done
no place to hang out our washing
and, and i can't blame all on the sun
good god we gonna rock down to electric avenue
and then we'll take it higher

Is slithering house some type of Harry Potter reference I don't get? Where is Rothlisberger when I need him?
PS I've never read any of the Harry Potter books or seen the movies so some millennial nerd will need to fill me in here.
