Reports say that season ticket holders were surveyed by the team and people asked for "more amenities," like a lounge. I don't recall seeing any such poll or survey, and I surely wouldn't ask the team to build a lounge for my perusal. I still want to give the Krafts the benefit of a doubt on this as far as making right by those being displaced, but the more I read about it the dumber this concept appears. Those first few rows of the end zone are important to fan involvement in the game.While I don't agree that the Krafts are pit vipers, I do agree that they do what is best for them in terms of making money, not die hard fans. Luckily, the interests of both have been mostly paralell since they took over. They are offering some consolation to those who have to be moved (free parking for a year(about a $400 benefit) and choice of seats elsewhere in the stadium [at their current rate, which may be higher than what the season ticket holder is paying now]), but my question is, if they are having trouble filling club seats, and marketing shows lowly regular season ticket holders like me would pay to belong to a club where you could sit and have a drink, why aren't they using a section of the huge clubs they already have, which are used by the club seat owners? They expanded those just a few years ago. Seems like they could rope off part of each one and use that for their sports bar, rather than upsetting a fairly sizeable group of diehard fans.
