Pretty much every road stadium already has these sections, heck watching the Nashville highlights they have a section like this is AAA.

Right, it was only a matter of time. It looks even more rinky dink than ever considering every other team has something like this. A premium section like this shouldn't have the same type of small crammed together seats as they do in the terrace. I can't afford it but for those who can it's been a long time coming.

Well, that's just sad to treat a fan base like that imo.

The $50 fan is the fan that comes to multiple games during the course of a season, pays the ridiculous parking fees, spends too much at the concession stands for sub-standard food, buys the extremly overpriced merch, and supports the franchise.  Without the lowly $50 fan as you call them, the team folds.  

Make the entire stadium $250+ fans and see what happens.

 

I didn’t call them “lowly”.   But I think fans view teams as some sort of public trust, when its a business. The corporations and organizations that are going to shell out $40,000 for seats behind the plate with Truss club access are to generate way more revenue than a group of regular fans going to a game 10 times a year and getting an $9 brat and $14 beer each time they go. If the goal is to generate as much ticket and in Park revenue as possible, those fans just aren’t that important in today’s calculus where premium experiences are both extremely profitable and popular.

The Brewers absolutely know what a typical family spends for a game at the ballpark and how often  they go; what a season ticket holder spends; what a private group likely spends; what ages and demographics generate the most revenue  and they’re adjusting their seats accordingly to capture the most revenue.

The suspense for me is whether Front Row Amy will continue to live up to her moniker.

I think she'll still be called Amy.

An area like this is pretty standard around professional sports and I am surprised that the Brewers took so long to do so. While this is a big money maker for the team, it does mean that the best seats will be used to entertain business clients rather than go to fans. Amy is correct that this is a move not for the fans. Since from what I can tell, she is not worried about all inclusive food options while watching the game or hanging out her a private club during the game, and just wants to watch the game and keep score, I can see how she would be upset.

Definitely minus cool points for the organization on this one

I think the organization would literally need a ton of fans willing to buy $50 tickets and $50 of concessions at each game to replace the value of a single business paying thousands of dollars for premium experiences at one game.

They will move her to other great seats……..she’s just mad that she won’t get TV time anymore.

I’m in favor of anything that brings in more revenue …….anybody that wants to go to games at reasonable prices still will be able to.

I used to primarily sit in section 217 for 10-15 years before they jacked up the prices… now they are doing same to the big spenders in front row…..it’s almost comical. This isn’t a new thing to many Brewers fans! You go less or pick better deals or sit elsewhere. I pay less now per ticket than I paid for those 10-15 years ago. Worse seats, sure…but a better deal and still all kinds of fun. There is risk involved when the Brewers raise prices and the Brewers are not always getting more money out of each fan when it does. Nothing new. But new to the rich guy! Almost comical.

However, I’m sadly wondering about super fan Bob Koehler who sits 3rdish row behind Attanasio. THAT is the better story. Better than Amy’s story.  Bob has like missed 50 some home games in the HISTORY of the franchise. What are they going to do about THE fan? I can almost see him being grandfathered in where he keeps his tickets without the added fee and perks. And oddly I would be more than ok with that.
