I understand exactly what she is saying. My Dad started taking me to Rutgers games in 1976. For years and years in the 80's , 90's, and early 2,000's, I sat dead center for basketball and very low near the 50 yard line for football. As the years went on,though, I had to move my seats farther and farther away--they aren't bad now,but they aren't as good. As for parking, I haven't paid for parking since the late 80's. My walk for basketball is not bad,but I walk about 25 minutes for football. At some stage in the future, I just won't be able to handle a walk that far. Not sure what I would do at that point. I guess the difference between me and this woman is that I knew this was coming years ago,because I lived in the South for a while and had season tickets for some SEC and ACC schools while I was down there. At schools like that, prices were years ahead of what Rutgers was charging back then. What we have done the past decade is catch up to many other schools' costs. Do I miss tickets for $8 and $2 parking--sure. Would I trade games like Louisville (football), Michigan (football), and Wisconsin (basketball) for the old days with Colgate,Richmond,Lehigh,Maine,etc.--no way.
