Completely agree with IV on this. Maybe a couple of billboards now...."Coming To Gillette Stadium This Fall UMass Football!! Advertising has to work it's way into your head over a period of time, and doesn't always work that well on one quick blitz. Start a couple of billboards now to get the idea into people's heads and then go a little heavier as the season gets closer. I think one of them should be on route 1 right near the stadium to catch folks who pass that way daily, figuring they probably live VERY near Gillette and going to games on a regular basis would be an easy thing to do. Along these same lines, someone posted on another blog that UMass should distribute season ticket forms to EVERYONE who attends this springs's graduation ceremony at McGuirk. 20K people right there with many of those living within an hour of Foxboro. They could reach out to lots of folks for cheap money.

How many sales people do you think UMass has dedicated to this effort?

It's kind of a trick question as I believe I know the correct answer, but I am curious what people think.

I think they were supposed to be running priority points for seat selection last week or this week.. Anyone have any insight into when they might be letting us know our seat locations? Not that I'm anxious or anything. Cool

I was in touch with the ticket office earlier this week & I heard they were making assignments yesterday & today for those who had orders in already.

Just heard from the ticket office, they won't have the season ticket seating process done until the end of May or early June. Those as anxious as I am to find our where your seats will be have awhile more to wait.

I'm just as anxious, believe me. I'm just not surprised that it is taking awhile. It's a process, no doubt.

Maybe there were more orders than they expected???

Right, certainly must be. And waiting a few more weeks really isn't too bad either. Plus, there really is no such thing as a bad club seat, right? haha.

It's probably a combo of that as well as having to manually enter in information for the mail in orders. They are also not going to announce where the renewals are sitting first and then announce everyone else later. They will do it all at once.
