He didn't go with PSLs because he knows most fans would not go for it. They only reason he has been adding to the stadium is he gets a break on revenue sharing if he re-invest into the stadium.
Joker - Grow up...you seem like a liberal moonbat english major! Sounds like your the perfect customer to fill the new wine and cheese section.
is this an English class or a fan website? Bring something to the table, wingnut!!! I am sending this message with peace and love....i am warning you, after today I will proof read all of my post!
Well, you learned something - you finally capitalized "English.". Now, you need to work on your singular and plural nouns, such as " posts", rather than "post.". But, you're getting there, Hemingway. However, you lied - you're obviously not proofreading yet...is this an English class or a fan website? Bring something to the table, wingnut!!! I am sending this message with peace and love....i am warning you, after today I will proof read all of my post!
To clarify, CenturyLink Field has seats in the entire lower bowl http://seahawks.io-media.com/ and no such fanzone. I feel "duped" as well.
MrWallnuts - This isn't the political forum so zip it. Furthermore, Joker isn't a liberal. Far from it. But the least you could do is sound semi-intelligent in your posts. Which you don't.
Furthermore, you clearly know nothing about the CBA, Revenue Sharing, etc, please don't comment on it because you clearly don't know what you are talking about.
rUOTE="BUSTAMOVE, post: 3819057, member: 20165"]Been a season ticket holder for 20 years. Love what the Krafts have done to be competitive year in and out. But eventually Greed does you in. Calls us share holders in his letters to us. Displacing 1500 share holders (I'm not one of them), is pretty lame. So you can sell another product. A fan lounge in the end zone. Browns had the Dawg Pound. We will have the pink hat fan lounge. And most of those pink hats are men
DaBruinz – You owe me an apology! I have only been going to the games since 1978. I am not your typical bandwagon post 2001 Patriots fan. I had invested more time and money into this team while fans like you jump on the bandwagon when the team started to win. I can remember going to games when there were only 20K fans in the stadium. I was at Bryant College when there was a handful of fans there to watch practice. I have traveled to multiple away games and Super Bowls.
I have ten tickets in one of the sections being displaced, and I feel I have the right to be upset. I think the Kraft’s should be more loyal to the fans who had been there before they owned the team!! We are the ones who will still be there when the Belichick and Brady era is over!! Let’s hope you will still be there, as well!!
As far as an apology…The Kraft group gets a break from revenue sharing when making improvements in the stadium. Read this link and then send me an apology.

10. NFL owners and some top executives gathered last week as part of a regularly scheduled league meeting, and one development with a Patriots tie-in is that upgrades for Gillette Stadium were approved. This is pretty common, as I understand it. The way it works is that every team has to share a certain percentage of ticket revenue with all teams, but in this case, part of the percentage the Patriots would normally share can instead be earmarked for stadium improvements. The league also approved the same thing for the Jaguars this year. So naturally the next question is: What improvements might be coming to Gillette, which opened in 2002? We’ll stay tuned.
shmessy. My quote stated that Kraft refers to us as shareholders. I do not believe I am one. He pacifies you when it is advantageous to himself. But when it is time to pad onto the billions, his true integrity displays itself. Again, I love what he has done to bring us Championships and continued competitiveness. I has many others have been loyal to him. He could put this lounge above those sections where the big McDonalds is. But that produces more revenue than the loyal fans. More of us need to call him out to keep him honest. I have more respect for a person who tells it like it is, than one who pisses on your back and tells you it's raining!
shmessy - I would like to apologize for defending myself in regards to a couple of spelling mistakes that I made during my original post. I was attacked and called ignorant because Joker and Dabruinz did not agree with my point. Am I assuming they did not get warned? Moving forward, if someone attacks me, I will bring it to your attention instead of defending myself.
Now back to the topic…how would you feel if your Dad were being displaced by the Kraft’s after supporting the team for that many years? I think you would be upset. I believe Homeland and I are making valid points and we are the ones who a being attacked.
I apologize for my behavior, and it will not happen again.
MrWallnuts!
