I do think it is wrong to have a "mandatory donation" for season tickets so rich people can write off much the expense. When we envision reasons to make donations tax-free, it is because we think those donations will be used for the common good... not to allow a millionaire to have subsidized seats at the 50-yard line. I'd be happier if they priced the tickets appropriately and allowed philanthropy to be a choice.

Again, not arguing against the idea of allowing people to give where they want to, just to limit abuse of the system.
