Just got an email from SU Athletics:
- Thread starter FAL
- Start date
If a person allready has season tix , why should he have to make a deposit. I assume that we allready have the rights to our seats so this doesn't make sense. Maybe it's for new people to get season tix...?

I would renew my season tickets, irregardless, but the line that caught my eye was the one that stated if you make your deposit, you are placed on a "priority list". I was a little dissatisfied with my seats this past season and planned on changing them anyway. So if being on this "priority list" gives me a little edge in getting seats more to my liking, then I don't mind paying the deposit. I'll let you know how it works out.

Got the same e-mail. I would guess they sent it to everyone on their list, and was not meant to be season ticketholder specific. In fact, fairly certain it doesn't pertain to us.
Probably won't help you. The upgrade order is determined by a variety of factors, chief among them level of donation. I suspect this "priority list" just gives newcomers first dibs AFTER all existing season ticketholders have completed their upgrades. In other words, you're already going to get a more favorable upgrade selection date/time than anybody on this priority list. I suppose it's worth shooting a quick e-mail to my ticket rep to get a definitive answer though (assuming he still works there, as my ticket reps seem to drop like flies). I assume upgrades will be handled online again this year, probably sometime in May. That would be nice, as I rather liked the new online interface.
If you don't mind me asking, what don't you like about your current seats? I'm always curious as to what people like/dislike about their specific seats at the Dome. Good to know if there's a section I need to avoid.

I think I may have addressed this on an earlier post, but my dissatisfaction had more to do with lack of fan enthusiasm more than anything else. I've read all the posts about fans bitching about being told to "Sit down!" on key plays/third downs/etc. I am probably older than the average fan, but I get my fat ass up and yell like my younger fan compatriots when it's third down and our guys are on D. However, nobody, but nobody, in my past season area got up on those third down situations. I did it a couple times and felt like a doofus--me standing alone. Oh Lord
I changed my seats last season because of location--lower level, near mid-field--but unfortunately on the visitor's side. Great seats, but sitting there made me feel 20 years older than I am. Next season: back on the home field side where the atmosphere is much more electric.

Nice.
Sadly, won't be able to do season tix again next year. Became a sticking point on the homefront due to some conflicts. But I will be coming to at least 2 games up in Syracuse, plus Notre Dame...Oh well.
