When it was announced that Boston College would play new ACC member Stanford in football September 13 this year, San Diego Eagles were interested in the opportunity to see their football team play on the West Coast for the first time in 12 years.
To assist, I contacted the Stanford ticket office in the spring to inquire about group discount tickets through them. We decided to set aside 50 seats on the upper level of the visitor side of the stadium at midfield ($40) and another 50 in the adjacent section ($25). They went on sale May 1.
We shared information on the tickets with members of the San Diego chapter, as well as alumni chapter leaders in Orange County, LA, and San Francisco.
Long story short, later in mid-summer we expanded the number of tickets assigned to us at midfield and ultimately sold 120 there.
I had purchased 10 tickets and transferred them via the web to nine classmates and partners who planned to head west for the game, replacing the usual game at BC for which I would travel east to join them. That was a nice change for me.
