Cal-Berkeley Wants $225,000 for prime football tickets

The San Francisco Chronicle reports:
UC Berkeley is serious about mining the gold in the Golden Bears.

As a way to raise money for the renovation of Memorial Stadium, the university is charging some football fans up to $225,000 to see the Bears play.

The program, similar to personal seat license plans used by many professional teams, will require hefty financial commitments from about 3,000 fans whose season tickets are between the 30-yard lines on the west side of the stadium. If they decline to participate, they'll have to give up their seats.
How un- egalitarian of the Marxists that run Cal-Berkeley!
