I think this is a great, and have already RSVP'd my place at a table.
However I would respectfully suggest that we continue our proud tradition of gathering for the 6th Annual Supporters Summit in the run up to the season. In addition, we will probably need to have extensive 'Arts and Crafts' days in order to create new tifo based upon team colors (assuming: NSC's red, white and blue)

LS- it is my understanding that there will be a summit style meeting to directly address dark cloud/tifo matters as well as the big one on the 21st.
AJ- Teetotaler United!
The more hardcore supporters that show up and express their thoughts/ideas/concerns the more will get accomplished. We should come up with a list of 10 things we want to see differently (physical items for game day and not things we have no control over like quality of play):
1: no music during run of play 2: tickets accepted at north end 3: Porta Johns at beer garden 4: changing stations in main bathrooms 5: tifo storage room 6: permanent grill for tailgating 7: flex season tickets 8: return stand du nord

I will compile this list and bring it on the 21st. I think it is important that we all stay on point with some of these "wants" when they ask us what the fans expect. All of these are extremely simple to implement, but judging from our past experiences sometimes things get lost in translation (such as the lack of taking tickets on the north end!)

numbers one through ten on that list can be accomplished so easy. we need to go in with ridiculous demands, start absurdly high, then we can negotiate down to pretty sweet stuff.
i for one would love a chair like this, located in the beer garden, for me and me alone. of course itd be done in team colors, whatever those end up being.
