My Football Upgrade Window - Snorlax94 - 05-13-2025

I can upgrade my seats starting 5/20 at 12pm.

I’ve been a season ticket holder around 10 years and also donate a modest amount to Buck most years since I’ve graduated.

In the past I’ve been toward the back of the pack here, but not last.

Where are others? I’m curious how far back I am and whether I’ll be able to upgrade my parking.

my window starts at 5/16/25 at 2:00 PM.   I've had football season tix since 1982 (but no season tix in other sports) and I am a small donor to athletics most years since graduation in 1982.

the "level of engagement" criteria

• Annual gifts to the Buck/Cardinal Club
  
• Years of season ticket purchases in all season-ticketed sports
  
• Total lifetime giving to Stanford Athletics
  
• Total lifetime giving to Stanford University
  
• Bequest intentions to Stanford Athletics
  
• Volunteer service on an athletic or university board
  
• Stanford alumnus/a
  
• Former Stanford student-athlete

I would think that a former Stanford student athlete would be above Stanford alum.

from the link with the criteria

Quote:The following criteria, not necessarily in this order, determine your level of engagement with Stanford University.

which I guess I should have included in that post

and a former athlete would also be an alum so when combined presumably higher on the list if all else is equal..

I'm guessing that total giving (current plus bequest intentions) is the main driver since giving related items are four of the eight items in the list....I'd also guess that if you are a sufficiently big donor you don't to wait for your "upgrade window", someone from the AD is probably already asking you about any changes you want....

I vaguely recall during some of the reseating exercises in the past some folks trying to figure out the relative importance of the criteria, which look similar, maybe identical, to what I recall from the last football reseating.  My recollection is that then $$ talked as I knew some long term. alumni ticket buyers in multiple sports who were small donors who got much worse seats, they were sunny side football ticket buyers since the mid-1950s, of course as I also recall they only had records back to sometime in the 1980s so having tickets before then did not help.
