Does anyone have any information about whether or not the YC is doing a hospitality room this season?

Pretty sure they've said no.
It's too expensive, but it's likely not coming back anytime soon.

Not really any need for it at home games. Beer/wine sales in the main stadium areas and the premium seating areas which are all for profit and quite frankly cater to all Yosef Club members in one way or another.

I've also heard hospitality is not coming back.
1. No convenient space to accommodate large crowd
2. Cost keeps escalating
3. Hosts to cater food becoming more difficult to secure

Great feature on a rainy or cold day. Since we have limited parking it fun to see friends that park in other lots there as well.
Overall, I get it, as we grow it becomes more difficult catering to large crowds. Plus with the beautiful setting of Boone why not stay outside and enjoy the fall weather!

This is/was an important perk for many Yosef members who are neither able to nor interested in tailgating.

I'd bet its replaced by the endzone area. Not sure the requirements to get into that area pre-game but seems to be the same type deal.

[Saint3333]

I thought the same thing when they built the west tower club area.

I'd love for the pregame area to be in the NEZ, but doubtful. Logistically it doesn't work.

In comparison with our peers, Yosef “perks” are piss freaking poor. And appear to be getting worse.

Pretty sure that the upper levels of the NEZ will be exclusive to seat holders in that section.

I was actually thinking the field level area. I'm just shooting in the dark here though, I don't know what they plan to do.

Could be. As it was explained to me, and supported by the story on AppStateSports.com, there will be two field level patios on game days. The one closer to the App side will be open to NEZ ticket holders. There will be another on the side closer to the State side that will be open for a Premium experience. Not sure what that means though, or what kind of price tag it comes with.

Amen! Yosef is going down hill. Perks are getting less!

I'd be OK with a Premium experience.

In all seriousness, what "Perks" would entice more folks to JOIN YOSEF?? I volunteer with the advisory board and would love to pass along any feedback.

If you are joining Yosef for the "perks", maybe you are joining for the wrong reason.

The perks to join are less of the problem as there are no incentives to give more. A person giving $100 is entitled to the same benefits as the donor giving $1500. We have 739 donors that give less than $500. How many of them would increase giving if a $500 donor got access to exclusive coaches apparel? How many of those 688 donors at the $500-$1000 can we get to step up a level for say an exclusive luncheon with the coaching staff or priority access to surplus merchandise? These are just ideas that make people feel special.

THE HOSPITALITY ROOM was a good one!

There is no "wrong reason" for what makes someone want to join Yosef. We need every person we possibly can to join YC, at whatever level they can, and for whatever the reason that causes them to join. Personal motivation and any righteousness as to what that motivation is has no place here. If a hospitality room is a selling benefit to join at a certain level then wonderful. If a prospective member was going to join at $500 but decided to give at $1,000 (the old hospitality threshold) in order to get the "perk" of a hospitality room then wonderful. Great choice! Beggars can't be choosers and frankly we need to beg a lot!

I don't think you get a numbered parking spot for $100.00.
