    Damn, August has felt like December when I was 7.

    The 12thman Foundation is re-seating Kyle Field for the new configuration. All seats went into the pot, and donors choose according to point standing. Points being assigned by donation amounts, consecutive years, number of seats held, etc...
    They started allowing the big money folks to pick on Aug 6.

    I will select mine today at 11:06.
    My current seating section has been hit hard already... with only 38% of the seats remaining.
    I am moving to a slightly cheaper area so I can get four seats instead of two. That area is in good shape with about 78% remaining.

    After this round, we wait again. In 2015 we'll pick our actual seats within the section.

    Terry... I'm pretty sure you've guessed I'm NOT an endowed seat holder.
    :p
    From what I've seen of the complaint those folks have... they arent' going to win. I understand they gave a substantial amount that was promised to last 30 years... but those seats won't exist anymore.
    Also, I've seen that the Foundation has made some pretty big accomodations.
    They are just grumpy rich folks who don't like change.

    Bill,
    It went great thanks for asking!
    I selected when 80% of the seats were still available in my section, so when we pick out the actual seat locations, I should select ahead of most and will get pretty much exactly where I want to be.
    ALL GOOD!
    :D
