Athletics making changes to popular North End Zone Club

FAMU Athletics has collected most of its pledges for its popular North End Zone Club for at Bragg Memorial Stadium for this year.  The Club promises an ultimate game day experience complete with access to climate-controlled tents, flat-screen televisions, an open bar and a buffet.  The premium experience isn't for everyone, of course. It's for those willing to pay more with Club access for the 2018 season requiring a minimum $1,000 contribution to FAMU Athletics Investment in Champions annual giving program.

Rattler Nation has learned, that FAMU Athletics officials, this year, intend to roll back some of the membership perks associated with North End Zone Club membership. An athletics official, who would not speak on the record said, "this year members who pay for the premium experience would be limited to a total of 3 drinks per game, and potentially one meal plate." This is a departure from the previously offered open bar and full buffet that North End Zone Club members had grown accustomed to since the inception of the program in 2014. 

A review of the Club pass for 2018 (pictured), appears to confirm the yet-to-be-announced changes. The new passes for 2018 (pictured) have “M” and “D” circles under each game which we are told would be punched when the meal and drink limits have been reached.

FAMU Athletics officials have not yet announced any changes to the North End Zone Club benefits package. However, we are told that the changes are in the works. Unfortunately, the timing of the announcement would not give donors or "investors" time to reconsider their investment for the coming season. 

Earlier this year, FAMU athletic officials announced that the Club had sold out.
