Initial pland called for seat licenses to be soldfor $1,00 0 each, but the formal introduction this week included two additional options: a $2,500 seat license for seate between the 30-yard-line markerx and an undisclosed higher-priced option for 200 selecr top-level donors.

Now the schoool must convert those intoactual sales. Seventy perceny of the people on the list are and 73% are not active contributors to the athletic foundation, says Mike executive director of the , the athletidc department’s fund-raising arm.
Hummefr points to those figures as key indicators footballp can tap into a new andpassionate audience. There are 47,000 UNCC alums in the Charlottde area. Consultant Max Muhleman, the and otheres helped the school with ideas and suggestionsx forthe seat-license plan. Ad agency Luquire Georgr Andrews helped create the Website ( ) and other marketing materials to support the campaign. If all seat license s are sold, the school will reap $10 million. Duboi pegged startup costs for footballat $45.4 million.
Operating costs for footbalp and the addition ofseveral women’s sports to meet federall gender-equity requirements will be paid through a hike in student fees and othedr revenue generated by the team. Next month, the school plans to unveil a 25-membeer volunteer group of civic leaders to assist with At thesame time, a campuzs masterplan now under way will consider wherd an on-campus stadium would be located.

Nordyne has two separatee facilities now at opposite ends of town for offics space and for researchand development.

"The interestinvg aspect of allof this, is you get involved with what it is they (the do and how they do it.
" Milles said, "Obviously, you nevef learn how to do it as good as they do. But you do get caughf up into what their business isall about."
