Fighting Sioux #1 Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 By "clubs", do you mean the bars at each end??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puck Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 I've heard that both Club Lounges (bars) will be closed to the general public. Will be open only to club seat ticket holders. Also heard that there will be mini-bars in the concourses to sell mixed drinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fighting Sioux #1 Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 I can't believe they would give up the SRO Ticket sales they sell for the bar!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigGreyAnt41 Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 This might be the first first move the Ralph has made that will actually make them less profit. Or maybe that's what the mixed-drink stands are meant to offset. I understand being angry that they are getting rid of SRO tickets, but this will make the game just that much more comfortable for those who are there, correct?

I heard the same thing and though I enjoyed hanging out in the bar, I think they felt that the price they charge for lounge seats 1500 per warranted making that a bit more attractive by allowing only those holders to be in the bar. Plus the seat holders apparently get a pass for each seat they own so that even if you don't sit in the lounge seats you can get a pass to be in the bar during the game.

cfm567b27 Posted September 6, 2004 Author Share Posted September 6, 2004 So one again this begs the question of what they plan to do with the FSC Coaches and above level members that had the bar priveldges previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USA Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 The clubs will be closed to the general public. Each club seat season ticket holder will receive two passes that they can pass out to whomever they chose so they will be able to have "guests" in the bars. These same seat holders will also have the option of purchasing two standing room only seats that they can do whatever they please with. At least I think this is how I read the contract. They are going to be losing a lot of $$$ doing it this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't misunderstand me. I'm not sure what happens with the FSC members....they may, or may not have certain priveledges. All I know is that what I wrote before was my understanding of the bar situation for people who have club seats within the bar. It didn't say (or I don't remember seeing) anything about FSC members. I would have to assume that people who are going to be spending that kind of money will be given their own "passes" to get into the bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDProud Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Here is what I have understood: FSC members will be able to enter the bars with their cards. I have four season tickets so I will receive 4 passes that will allow access into the bars. I think that only coaches club and above get the passes and those that buy the bar seats.

The Sicatoka Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 When the arena first opened the South Club Room was supposed to be for Fighting Sioux Club members only. I'm guessing, based on the overcrowding in there at times, that they are going back to that. I'd also guess (note the word guess), based on getting my FSC club cards for 2004-2005 that don't have a "level" designation on them, that any member of the FSC will be allowed in.

Stack Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 The way they had it a couple of years ago, only those Fighting Sioux Club memebers that were at the Coaches or above could get into the bars before games but all FSC members could get in after the game started. This pissed off a lot of Century, Captain, and Varsity level FSC members. Most of these guys bought 2 season tickets the first year and then decided they'd like a couple more. But since they can't get any more seats why increase your FSC memberships. Heck the only time I frequented the bar was after the game to let the traffic clear out. I hope they at least open it up afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfm567b27 Posted September 8, 2004 Author Share Posted September 8, 2004 Somebody up there surely needs to take a class in communication - once again this appears from the outside to be a policy change from last year and nothing has been sent to the FSC folks as of yet.

UNDProud Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 I have it from a 100% reliable source that the tickets are being packaged up to be mailed this Sunday. We should have all of our answers soon...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent - At least it is being mailed out a month before the season starts - a little improvement over mailing last year's media guide.

courtney Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Do they really have to put more alcohol on the concourses?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Do they really have to put more alcohol on the concourses?? Whoa-whoa-whoa, hold on. Up to this point it's all guessing, rumor, and speculation. Let's let them introduce and implement the new policy (if there is one) and then rip them for it.

I'd also guess (note the word guess), based on getting my FSC club cards for 2004-2005 that don't have a "level" designation on them, that any member of the FSC will be allowed in.

Fighting Sioux #1 Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Well.......... IF any Fighting Sioux Club member can get in...... Wouldn't that be pretty much open to EVERYONE?!?!?! (Since ALL season ticket holders MUST join one of the Fighting Sioux Clubs.) So much for overcrowding!!! I guess it will keep opposing fans out!!
