[NU Sports] NU Needs your help - pass the word

[dpenderg at aol.com]

But a great many NU fans are not among the sponsors/corporations and have  
gone commercial to get good seats. I am sorry not to be among them.   
Athletic Dept perhaps should be a little more honest since they  presumably knew 
the allotment would be in the end zone but played the  loyalty harp to sell 
them.  I agree that Outback Bowl is at fault as well  when they want bowl 
team supporters to make the costly travel commitment to come  and spend big 
bucks locally and then are relegated to end zone seats.  We  expect this to 
happen when we travel to Iowa City or State College, but the  bowls really 
could do better.  And NU should be more open about what they  have been given 
and it is indeed "the best they can get" by their own admission.

I understand completely - but do not blame this on NU.  This  has nothing 
to do with "is this the best they can get".
 
If you want to blame and complain, then do so to the Outback Bowl not  NU.
 
Outback is a huge corporate event and every decent seat  is pre-sold to 
sponsors and corporations or Outback Bowl season ticket  holders.  
There are several events including the luncheon which are invite only --  
all sponsors, no real fans.

I must say that my concern about  selling the NU allotment is undermined by 
 
realization that my  tickets are in the corner end zone (Section 120).  For 
 
a 30+  year season ticket holder.  Can't NU do better than that?    No  
wonder so many NU fans have gone to commercial sources, which I will do  
next  
time.  No wonder the Athletic Dept is having trouble  selling its  
allotment, 
but they have no one to blame themselves if  the end zone is the best  they 
can 
offer.

NU still has  several  thousand Outback Bowl tickets from their allotment 
that have  not been  sold. But I know there will be lots of purple in the 
stands  because of seats  bought on StubHub etc.

I know many of you on  this list are going  to the game --but if you are 
not, and have the  capability to do so,
please  order a ticket and have it donated to a  student or a member of the 
armed  forces.

_www.nusports.com_ (http://www.nusports.com/)   and click donate   ticket

And please pass this along to other fans you   know

This is really important for future consideration of  bowl  games
