The Price of Seeing the Top 25 College Teams: Big-time college sports programs are increasingly requiring fans to pony up more than the ticket price to attend their games. While the practice of "premium seating" is not new — some colleges have been tying seating preferences and other benefits to donations for decades — it is on the rise, as are the dollar figures involved.

It's all because of those rising player salaries, of course.......

Wow, I had no idea that so much was involved for non-students to get tickets. This is yet another side of life I'll never know. Then again, I didn't really go to games while I was in college. Not sure why I'd start now. Thanks for the link though, jason.

I wonder what my dad will be willing to pay to keep his cherished (UIowa) Kinnick Stadium seats--three of 'em, about 20 rows up, 48 yard line, hometeam side. He's had them since about 1975, I think.
