My wife told me she heard on the news, a tour of the football facilities will be held in 4 weeks with a ticket donation price of $100.00.

I can't find anything on the net about this.

Got and email today. Being put on by the "Friends of WMU". Not sure what the $100 donation is earmarked for though. It does state that you can take your kids.

I believe the "Friends of WMU" is the university PAC.

I was going to bring my son...until my wife said no.

Interesting that donations are to a PAC as opposed to the athletic department. I'm sure they're not unique, but interesting, nonetheless.

Anyone go to the original one for $100?

Super glad they came to their senses and are offering a free tour.

Yes free would be great! I was the one that thought paying $10 to walk on the new grey field at EMU was ridiculous...but $100 for a hot dog?
Really? If you want to tour the facilities just walk in the stadium, look like you know what your doing and take a tour. I ended up one day playing video games in the lounge until my wife was done using the bathroom

I got to the front door of Lou Holtz's office using that exact tactic.

I actually had fun that day, played a little college football on one of their game consoles also have a cool racing car game, and some sort of hunting game. The pop cooler was empty though, now that I think of it...it was a Coke cooler and we are switching to Pepsi. All makes sense now.

Those are sweet by way, so are the shorts the guys are wearing right now. Think I could go to the equipment room for those?
