    UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA JEW§ Bierman Field Athletic Building 516 15th Avenue Southeast Minneapolis, MN 55455 (612) 625-4090 Fax 625-0359 FOR IMMEDIA'IE RELEASE May 28, 1996 U OF M ANNOUNCES SALE OF WILLIAMS ARENA COURTSIDE SEATS Courtside seating will once again be available in Williams Arena for the 1996-97 Golden Gopher men's basketball season. This will mark the third season that 20 front row seats are being made available for auction. Because of continuing demand and the need to meet University revenue goals, the auction will again be held this year. "The success of the auction format and the generosity of our fans and donors has encouraged us to again make 20 front row seats available to the highest bidders for the 1996-97 season," Men's Athletics Director Mark Dienhart said. "No current season ticket holders will be displaced and the revenue generated will continue to greatly help our revenue picture. We have been told that the fans who held the seats the last two years enjoyed them tremendously and with high renewal rates in Williams Arena, these are the only seats guaranteed to be available." The 20 seats, located directly behind the scorer's table at courtside, will be awarded to winning fans with a minimum starting bid of $2,500 per seat, plus the price of the season ticket. "The first year, we produced almost $60,000 in revenue with these seats," said Jan Unstad, executive director of development. "In the second year, we exceeded $67,000 in revenue. The auction format is exciting, the seats are terrific, and our fans continue to love college basketball.
