Back in the 80's, I flew with the football team from Barnes to Richmond. The runway was plenty long for a 737.

If I got something it wasn’t anything I could remember lol.
Back in the day if you were a select 100 member you got a gift. No longer.

Sometime, not sure when, they gave us these bigger, porcelain coasters with the UMass logo on them. Still have em. Only other thing I remember is the lanyard.

I don't really care about any gifts. I buy my season tickets to support the program. My gift can be good teams, winning games, thats all I want

^It is Westfield. The Westfield-Barnes-Regional airport, which is where the Massachusetts Air National Guard’s 104th Fighter Wing is based and hosts the F-35A Lightning II, the Air Force’s latest and most-capable fifth-generation fighter.

ummm, I don't think the F35s will arrive for a while...still seeing the F-15Cs thundering around the neighborhood.

I knew they were coming but I wouldn’t know one from the other…but for sure, ‘thundering around the neighborhood’ is accurate!

My granddaughter plays soccer at Woronoco Field. Those fighters come in for landing awfully low and very loud….great way to distract the visiting team!

Van, that was a Court Club gift, not a season ticket holder gift. You are correct, though, as the Court Club no longer gives gifts.

The coasters are fantastic, also still have them. And currently drinking out of my UMass Basketball coffee mug, which was also a STH gift.

^ I have the beer glass, coasters and coffee mug. I recall the lanyard but have no idea what I did with it. The other 2 guys whose season tickets are in my name are still pissed. They could have paid McCall $10,000 less and given a gift for every season ticket. A better use of that $10,000.
