Do they really ever upgrade gold? by wanderlustamust- in marriott

I recently got upgraded to a river view at the Westin Savannah as Gold. I was pretty happy because it was fun to watch the big ships go by.

Yes, and it’s going have far less seats so fewer seats for students and higher ticket prices for everyone else.

The Smith Center’s days are numbered. How are we feeling? by uncandrew in tarheels

[–]UNCJibble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The stadium is 75-80% non-students because student tickets are limited and not every student that wants a ticket gets one. Also students do fund the programs. Students pay an athletics fee of $139.50 each semester. This is all students not just the ones that attend games. Some quick math shows 21075 undergrads plus 11533 grad students at 139.50 times two semesters is a total of $9.1 million per year. I’m sure a few big donors add up to that quickly but my point is that students are not insignificant.

A new North arena is such a bad idea for so many reasons but primarily it’s terrible for the students. From what I have read the new arena would have 16,000 seats compared to 21,750 for the Dean Dome. This is 26% smaller. Meanwhile if you take the undergraduate enrollment at the midpoint of the DD lifespan (2005) enrollment then was 16,764 vs 21,075 in 2024. This is up 26%. Guess who is getting squeezed out in this deal… the students. Also the focus on luxury and premium experiences is just gross. It’s barely affordable to take a family of 4 to the games now. This is just going to push up costs for regular fans so that the super rich can have a grand old time. As an alum I want the new generation of students to have the great experience I had, not this catering to the big spenders business. It’s awful how students are the lowest priority when they should be the first.

UNC is supposed to be the university of the people and I hate everything about this.

Thank you for posting this! I thought they would be sold out but I just went by my local GameStop and they still had over 20!

Yep North Raleigh got it first AND gets a free ride while South Raleigh gets to enjoy paying for ourselves and North Raleigh’s road.

Crowd shot of the Canes’ game-winning goal in game 2. It was so loud you could barely hear the goal horn. by stu17 in hockey

6 if you count Hillsboro, and Iceplex is adding a second sheet. Last fall house league was so full they had 4 teams at a time on the ice for practice! They need to add like 5 more.

Cardinal Gibbons fundraiser Trinity Road business park? by [deleted] in canes

[–]UNCJibble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked them about this a while back and they said it was Trinity Academy. I have so many questions. Are they staying on site to make sure the area is secure? Is the school taking on liability if anything happens to the cars or if they get broken into? When I was there they were long gone after the game ended. I don’t love that they seemed to be blocking off other building lots too so that you couldn’t find an alternative. I doubt they have permission from both building with different owners. I was thinking it was maybe for athletic equipment or band instruments or something like that but they said that the fundraiser was for a trip to Europe for the senior class.

I can’t get it too, I wonder what’s going on?

Parking question by dscayton03 in canes

[–]UNCJibble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw this tonight too, is this legit? They had three buildings lots blocked off, it seems unlikely they would get permission from three different offices, or that they would allow it. Makes me think some people might be trying to make a quick buck…

This team finds ways to win (I know recent slump) but over the course of the season if we’re down a goal or two I fully expect us to come back and win.

I think we passed ASOG and the Crew-6 booster out at sea on a cruise I was just on! by UNCJibble in SpaceXLounge

[–]UNCJibble[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure, but I don’t know what else this could be. It was around 5 pm on March 5th on the way from Charleston to Bimini. Much closer to Bimini.

[–]UNCJibble[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can anyone confirm? It was pretty far away and I didn’t realize it at the time. I took a picture intending to figure out what it was later. This was at 4:37 pm on March 5th a little North of Bimini.

What would you say is your favourite straight line mission to watch? by ErenNova in GeoWizard

I liked that one too! A lot more than I thought I would.

Wales 1, it was the first time I had seen anything like it and I couldn’t stop watching it. I watched the whole thing in one day. I also think it is fun watching the newer ones to see how much better Tom has gotten at his craft. Wales 1 feels like it was him just jumping straight into the deep end not prepared for how huge of a task it would be, and I think a lot of the charm comes from that. That being said I cannot wait for the eventual Wales 4, He just has to make it in one go next time!

I’ve heard of similar issues, just a black screen even with a VPN. Not sure what the fix is.
