Any Tunnel Club interest?
- Thread starter nittanymoops
- Start date
This seems dumb but I do like the open bar and complimentary food but if I truely had 10K to piss away then maybe I would do it. Does it come with tickets to the game? For the maybe 30 seconds that the team runs by do you then get to go watch from the sidelines? Where do you watch the game from?
With four passes per, if you can't drink your way through 10k you ain't tryin' hard enough.
The value received here is the equivalent of a lifetime supply of viagra for a 92 year old man.
Penn State unveils 'Beaver Stadium Tunnel Club'; here's how you can get on the interest list
Penn State football will have a new feature for fans this fall. Called the 'Beaver Stadium Tunnel Club', it will have many amenities.
Let me think, 10g’s per year for free booze. I think I’ll stick with my tailgate. Free booze (ok it’s mine) 2 big screen TV’s, heaters in late fall, great food (Wagu beef 2-3 games/year.) so no.

does NOT count towards any ticket or parking purchase/contribution.”
Wait til you see the mandatory contribution levels for tickets after they finish with the renovation of beaver Stadium.
For easy math let’s say $10 a drink. That’s a 1000 drinks a season. Divide by 7 games, roughly 140 drinks a game. Divide by 4 people- 35 drinks a game per person. Divide by 4 hour game time and your drinking roughly 9 drinks per hour or 4.5 drinks/hr. at $20/drink. Bottoms up.
You didn’t have to bring Math into the discussion to prove your point. All us alcoholics immediately did a cost ratio analysis in our heads and already figured out that the numbers don’t work.
Thank you much Thomas,
This Tunnel of Monkeys promotion is ridiculous.....
To me, it seems like a great insult and embarrassment for our alumni to have the University set up an observation room in private audience for the `elite alumni` to watch the players prance thru the tunnel on their way to the field like a cattle crossing.
My bad, this was an accepted ritual in Rome for the Roman elite to observe their investment in their stock of gladiators prior to entering the games.
Is this what the university I graduated, respected hell or high water has become.....a subset of the Roman Empire catering only to the wealthy.
PSU has had a "Tunnel Club" for decades - that didn't cost a nickle.
Any fan who wanted to could line up along the walkway into the stadium to watch/cheer on the squad as they entered the field.
Now, part of that will be closed off with structures on either side - so that only certain folks (those paying $10,000) can do so (through an observation window).
FWIW: That also means that that area of the lower concourse (underneath the student seating areas) rather than being blocked off to through traffic for a few minutes as the team enters/leaves the field will now be blocked off permanently - thus created even more congestion issues with regard to "circulation" (circulation seems to be the new overly obtuse term for access and mobility).
Also FWIW: IMPROVING access, especially in the student section areas, was one of the great benefits touted as part of the renovations. Does that seem incongruent to anyone?

This has to be one of the more dumb a** $$$ raisers ever for the Beav. How about they start to provide shuttle trams from the parking lots to the stadium? Put in a monorail, put in a Sky gondola. Sheesh
I'm told he prefers the Skybox view.
Can't blame Kraft for trying.
In a similar vein, anyone remember some years back PSU touting a catering service that, for a very handsome fee, would do tailgates? Did that ever gain any traction?
I like the Sky gondola idea except for those pesky state police helicopters.
If you have to cost out the drinks per person, this club isn’t for you. It’s about spending money for exclusivity and special class treatment and access as a form of entertainment and donation to Penn State. It’s like upgrading to business class. It’s not for everyone.

I will dole out the 10k if and only if they play this song once every hour in the Tunnel Club.
