I wouldn't do that if I were you

Let me get this straight. The product you put out on the field last season was mediocre, finishing with 6 wins and 7 losses. Attendance has been trending downward for the past three or four years, even with a season that culminated in a Sugar Bowl appearance several years ago. The economy in this state is down. Your own faculty is taking 7% pay cuts, your tuition is rising, and the public and private sectors are both shedding jobs.

And you think this is a good time to raise ticket prices to go see football games?

O-kay.

Hey, decisions have consequences, and this one will have some too.

You mean people in Hawaii actually *go* to football games?

Yeah, but in falling numbers. Last season, ~257,000 for either six or seven home dates. Aloha Stadium's capacity is 50,000, by the way. It's not one of those football cathedrals like Michigan, Alabama, or Florida.
