I have season tickets and I gave mine away today for a number of reasons. This is the 3rd game at noon or around noon and I am tired of that. I am beginning to feel like the Athletic Dept is taking advantage of the fans and it seems that it is always about money and not about the fans that actually attend the games. I have been a season ticket holder since the 1970s and I support the team and do not boo or say many discouraging words during the game; however, I do voice my opinion when they are not playing up to their potential, which for this year, it has been many games. I am very discouraged about many aspects this year, like having to buy a special radio that syncs the play by play to what is actually happening, running out of "free" $1 water during the first two games at noon, having the noon games and many other negative things. I feel like I am being gouged and taken advantage of. IMNSHO, they should not be doing this in the face of this tough economy. It makes me want to take my precious, discretionary and dwindling entertainment income and spend it where it is more appreciated. If this makes me a "fair weather fan", then so be it. Fran
