Ice Castle Club Level?
Penguin Nation:
Here's a scathing article about MAC finances. EMU takes >80% of its athletic budget from student fees (I think YSU is ~70%). I'd hate to see JMU (or YSU) pay the conference entrance fee, and the league admits they're busted and dissolves a year or so later and the $$ vanish.

It's not just clubs, but suites. Suites are normally for businesses, and clubs individuals. At least in our situation.

Right, but that is what I am saying. Many small businesses cannot afford a loge ...they cost 10-20 times what it looks like a club seat will sell for. Very few people in Youngstown will have $2k-$3k for a club seat. It will have to be a business looking for the tax deduction.
Interesting story, I used to work for a man that was a huge buckeyes supporter. He played OSU marching band music all day every day in the office. Once a year the campus police arrest some of the prominent businessmen in Columbus and they ask money for their release on bail. I was unaware if this.
I was sitting at my desk and suddenly about 6-10 uniformed officers walk into the office (Gahanna, Columbus, State and campus), put him in cuffs and escorted him out the door. I was by that time basically hiding so as not to be a part of anything that I was not involved with. If I would have known players and staff I would have caught on, but I had no idea other than the fact that the owner my company was just arrested. I went down to the police station with our CFO and he gave them a check for what I think was a million dollars. Could have been $100k, but I did count the zeros. blew me away. Then Archie Griffin came and unlocked the cell. It was made of beer cans. In any case, I know that he had 6 club seats that were his in each facility. He used to leave tickets on the table for all of the sports. I usually saw MBB or hockey and it was fun.

Went down around the campus last week, a lot of construction taking place along Fifth Avenue and Rayen. I thought they were to start on the new eastside press box right after the end of the football season but nothing is taking place as of yet. Anyone hear anything about a start up date? Having that press box would actually help enclose The Ice Castle with the additional height on the east end. It would change the appearance on the inside dramatically.

I heard we didn't have enough money raised yet

We get a million dollar donation and still can't raise enough funds. What a joke.
