Got the survey too as a season ticket holder. It seems like maybe not a rich donor thing, but a 'how can we milk an extra 50-100 dollars out of people above the cost of their seat to go stand in a room at field level". I mean I guess that's fine , but I do worry it will increase the NFL/corporatization feel even more

pretty much . building the area up on top of bleachers will give them a place to put up festive colorful tents & increase the game like atmosphere.
clearly a way to raise revenue & the corporatization actually started a while ago .
Regarding NFL feel, Illinois already has a group at field level. ICON. So if people aren't familiar, I'm not sure it's a big deal on feel.
I also think it may not be specifically targeted at the top donors. They already have the Stadium Club 2 hours before the game. How much could one eat and drink?
i’m fine with them utilizing existing real estate to raise revenue for football team NIL purposes.
both end zones are grossly underutilized
