It certainly will be interesting in the next few weeks to see how the seat selections go in regards to donation vs. non-donation seats. There are a ton of donation seats available that will likely still be there for those that are low on the Gopher Points list. I, for one, think the U overestimated the number of people willing to pony up extra dough for seats inside the 20s. I know they did their research, but with the current economy, a good portion of people are going to have to make a tough decision between donation seats and poorer bench seats (or maybe no seats at all as the process moves on).
Another interesting thing I noticed: as of 3 pm today, there were still 1,375 "donation" parking spots available. I find it hard to believe there are that many remaining in line that have giving levels of $1000 or $2500 (though some of them will hit the $1000 mark with purchase of two $500 donation seats).
Like I said, should be fun to watch. For the record, I picked seats in section 213, row 13 and parking on the West Bank, and I couldn't be happier with what I got.
