Any rumors floating around on topics??

Haven't heard anything about a Town Hall Meeting

There was an email this morning. Got mine at 11:24 a.m.

Any reason the spring tour is 11:30 AM in Greensboro on 10 May. Not a bad location but at that time they are not wanting much of a crowd obviously. All the other stops are at 5:30 PM or later in the day, which makes a bit of sense for trying to attract a slightly bigger crowd.

Greensboro is always during lunch. I’ve mentioned to them this is terrible many times. It’s just plain stupid.

Did Greensboro do something to put us in time-out? It feels like we are being punished. When I am retired soon I may just stay away out of spite. Two can play at this game. (Sitting here with arms crossed, lower lip puckered out and nodding my head up and down while saying "umph")

I would think it has more to do with being a business person lunch hour meeting.

I know what it is at that time of day, but us working stiffs that can't get off work, also spend some money on App State athletics. It would make more sense in Raleigh to least in order to get back to Boone at a reasonable time of the day. Instead that are another 90 minutes east and hours and hours later in the day.

They’re doing a Greensboro-Winston-Salem doubleheader. If you can’t make the 11:30 a.m. matinee, the 4:30 p.m. nightcap is an option.

4:30 nightcap. do you take me for a senior citizen?

i could do the W-S date, but first I have to get these kids off my lawn.

Topics?Ask your questions.

I still haven't seen an email about the Town Hall

I want to know when or if Club members will get to use the NEZ. I have suggested they open up a room and sell food, drinks and exclusive Yosef Club apparel. I understand they stop the old Club room to save money. This could actually generate income.

I doubt this happens. The ballroom is open two hours before the game for NEZ ticket holders. It would be difficult to police who is there for what. I realize that this could generate income, but the original idea of a YC hospitality room did not earn money which is likely the reason why it was stopped.

Bingo. It lost tens of thousands every year.

I get the adage of having to spend money to make money, but right now, there are more pressing needs to spend money on that will also make money (i.e. east side renovations).

Look in your Spam folder. I looked in mine and found it and one other ASU email.

The original room was a complete give away, so sure it lost money. My suggestion is that the sell food and beverage. You could do the set up, clean up and even some of the staffing with players and coaches from non football sports. You could even pitch it as a way for those coaches and athletes to get exposure to the members. The food could be done by vendors. You may have to pay for bar tenders. I don’t know the NEZ layout but surely the ballroom could be separated or another room could be used. This is just a matter of a lack of vision or no desire to accommodate the non NEZ Club members.

I get it. Trust me. But our Yosef Club staff is already working 75+ hours a week on game weeks and making in the $30,000s (at least the ones that would run this kind of event). It's not fair to add another task in to their plate when they're already spread so thin.

Also, there is only one bar in the NEZ. So, splitting the room means someone gets left out of that benefit they paid for. Unless the department spends more money to get another bar. Then paying staff, etc. It's not cheap to do.

It's not a lack of vision (for this idea). It's a lack of people resources to pull it off and having other items to spend money on that will make more money.

There is a group of 900 or so folks that have seats in the NEZ that have about $750k reasons to not open up the space to non ticket holders.
