SMF is back on board as a season ticket holder. Unfortunately, the tickets are still overpriced ans should still rank as some of the most expensive in college basketball but I wanted to show my support for what I consider to be a really good hire.
As you know, with the new tax laws and the non-deductibility of athletics donations tied to seating, Pitt (and probably most others) will just send a portion of the season ticket price to the Panther Club. So, here's the prices per seat (including donations)
Lower Endzone/Corners: $635
Upper Sideline: $480
Upper Corners: $405
Upper Endzone: $280
I think people are excited about the hire but even at those prices, I think the team ia going to have to be Top 25 good to come close to selling all the tickets. With Stallings, I'd guess they would have sold 2000 season tickets. With Capel, my guess is 5000. Still too expensive and the team is still not good enough.
