Belk Bowl Seating and Tailgating Locations

So the only way for us to go to the best bowls, is to have our loudest fans sit in the corners of the endzones, while the athletic department fills up the midfield with Big donors, and old folks, who will sit on their hands in their parkas for the whole game. To make sure we aren't out of running for great bowls, we must continue to watch the bowl games from crappy seats. And pay almost twice as much for those seats than they are worth.

What school do you know of that doesn't put donors in their best seats? The significant difference here is that almost every school is a lot bigger than Wake so it's much easier for them to sell their allotment.
 
Say what you want, but turning back in unsold tickets from our allotment is not a good thing. If you don't think that's going to happen, then you are saying that buying tickets from Wake is the responsibility of other Wake fans than you.

No. What I'm saying is its the responsibility of Wake Fans who will end up getting midfield seats. I think all you need to do is sell your initial allotment to be ok. I don't see how the bowl would really count it against you if 75% of your fans bought tickets from them instead of the school. We have 8,000 people who have been deacon club members since 1910, who will buy from wake because they don't know how to use a computer. The young alumni can sit at midfield for a fair priced ticket without having to feel guilty about affecting the teams bowl chances in the future.
 
My son, not a Wake alum, bought tickets from the Bowl as a Christmas gift. He was asked whether he was Wake or TAMU? Doesn‘t the Bowl count those as well?

I agree. Those donors can keep filling those seats and selling our allotment. The others can sit and buy from wherever they want.
 
I bought through Wake and am not happy with either the price or the seat location.

Yet, all that will be forgotten if we beat A&M.
 
Does NCSU not sell their allotment? weren't they 8-4, better than Us, BC, same as UL and they beat them? They travel better than all those schools. Do you think NCSU would prefer NY, Jacksonville or Charlotte over El Paso?

How on earth did they end up in El Paso? because of Wake's reputation being better than NCSU in Charlotte?
 
TBF the same people that paid double for worse seats, are not the same people that keep giving Ron Wellman money to spend. So its not like they are particularly attached to their money or have any real expectations for it.

So you do you. As P.T. Barnum said...

Brasky, aren't you ClawsOut? Didn't you claim Wolford was trash? Good calls - you do you. Also, club level seats are more expensive on Stub Hub than they were through Wake.

I don't think I ever got to the point where I was ClawsOut, but I wasn't as impressed with his 7-6 season last year as everyone else. And the only game I attended this year was the F$U game, so I wasn't his biggest fan immediately following that embarrassment. I was certainly wrong about Wolford, that's true.

If that's the case than buy club level seat through the school. Just don't overpay for nosebleeds. I personally haven't given Wake athletics a dime (outside of two diet cokes during the afore mentioned FSU game) and plan to keep it that way until the huckster in charge of the AD steps down.

The first purchase I made with my first real post-college paycheck was Wake football season tickets. I started attending games when I was four. But I just feel zero connection or respect for the people currently in charge, and animosity towards those that continue to prop them up.

I don't think anyone had Wofford beating UNC last night, so that's fair.

Haha, beat me to the edit. I was just ribbing my UNC HS pals on our group text about lats night's game, so the fighting Jerry Richardson's (too soon?) are on the brain.
 
My group is in Section 107—seems like we have people that bought through Wake in a whole bunch of areas in the lower bowl. Looking forward to it.

Yes, you come across as very anti-Wake, which is too bad.
 
Marked where every poster said they were sitting. Only 2 people sitting between the goal lines.

I wouldn't say I was CLAWSOUT but I was lamenting his offensive schemes by his 7th or 8th game.

I was definitely throwing some serious shade all through last season. The man just isn't built to compete in a world where he can't out recruit his competition.

Amazing clock management too. Especially against a team with zero downfield passing game.

And here's the timeout. With 14 seconds left.

A half into the season three and I'm officially CLAWSOUT. What a Fucking idiot.

Surprisingly I'm still very sober, although I plan to remedy that soon

I've been out on In-Game Clawson since Year One. His play calling and on-field decisions are trash

Clawson's gameplan today was to play conservative and rely on Special Teams. After last weekend why in the hell would that be your plan?

Clawson (as an in-game coach) sucks

at least Grobe had the orbit

This team deserves better

Umm, I'm 180 degrees away from your interpretation (of my possibly vague) post. Wofford and his broken play preying offense is shit, minus the first 20 mins of a D level bowl game. If we depend on that this season we'll win 3 games.

Dumb

Wellman clearly hasn't learned anything from the last couple of the Grobe years

Clawson and his basic bitch offense are about a year away from destroying what is left of a dwindling football fan base.

Here's my issue...

Clawson has never won in a situation in which he had inferior talent. The one season he attempted to do it was an abject failure. His play calling is basic as fuck. No imagination. No creativity. He's use to lining up and winning because he had the better players. The guy is a solid recruiter.

That's not going to happen here.

Losing to this Army team should be unacceptable.

2-10 here we come

NO HAWT

I'm borderline BKF fan on Wake under Clawson

Not a believer

Dude is an unimaginative shitty game coach

Conclusion? The real movers and shakers in the Deacon Club don't post on this board (or probably any board).
 
I guess I was angry enough after the F$U game to be ClawsOut. Glad he proved me wrong. Unlike PH I can admit my mistakes.

You can head back to your hole OGB.
