I was out by the stadium yesterday and I noticed that they've bolted gold seats in one of the corners of the south endzone.  . |

  Is this some new plan to generate more revenue? |

Or maybe that is just an attempt to increase the "Sea of Gold" look on the home side.
If so, I would go even one step futher and install mannequins in that section, wearing gold t-shirts.

It is part of a new fundraising drive to be unveiled geared toward the average "working family" - special donation and special season ticket and single game packages that give you a seat back. The idea is to expand it on the visitor side as well since Gold Helmet members already have built in seat backs - ala NCSU.
Pretty good marketing idea if you ask me and hopefully it can get jump start an increased Aggie Club membership drive to over a 1,000 by this fall.

I know they were there for the 06 season and I think they were there in 05!! They also use these seats for dignitaries when there is not enough seats in the chancellor's box or in the reserve section near the box.

I think it's been called the "Gold Zone!"
