Tailgating Discussion

[ManAboutTown]

IIRC, when RCAF became a requirement for tailgating, it had to be general fund and not to individual sports. I know this was more of a baseball/softball thing, but I'd have to guess that there are some football only fans that were turned off by that as well. I believe it's since been changed but has that been communicated to those that made changes to their investments in the program (be it dropped tickets, tailgating, RCAF donations, attendance)?

I don't know the answer for certain but judging by history, I'd bet it hasn't.

IIRC? Help me, I’m not familiar with that, or forgotten what it is.

are the other assumptions correct? don't want to spread if not true.

Yes, the general fund comment is correct. Not sure if it's been changed. Which in the end, is the larger point. Our fanbase at large really never knows what the hell is happening.

is there really enough accounting transparency to worry about whether a particular dollar went to a particular sport?

on the one hand im not a fan of forcing things, however whining about perks makes us feel small time and that we will never catch up to the big boys.
overall the problem is mindset, i agree dont force someone to join rcaf to get the prime tailgate spot, but my mindset would be, wow, that guy has the prime tailgate spot i bet he is a bigwig in rcaf.

i know this is a pipe dream but i would think there should be more people in rcaf that dont go to games (i.e. out of town alums) then people at games that arent in rcaf. IMO it comes down more to looking at the big picture rather than a transactional view.

Really a terrible attitude to have about it. People in this area "vote with their wallet." If they didn't agree with the Lotief stuff and didn't want their money going to fund it, or don't agree with MBB direction and don't want their money to fund it, or didn't like the football hire and don't want their money to fund it... You make damn sure their money is going where you said it would go. There's actually a term for that. It's called fraud.

nominated for dumbass post of the week. whining he says. every donor org gives perks to donors. what are rcaf perks? the golden ticket to get to spend more money. they dont even send the plates anymore. ticket booklets no more. the rcaf lines are slower than the normal people lines. there is no perk
