UW men’s basketball: Would you pay $15,000 for a courtside seat?

If Jack Nicholson or Spike Lee ever become Badgers fans, they could find a familiar seat waiting for them at the Kohl Center as early as next season.

Tucked into the Univeristy of Wisconsin Athletic Department’s projected operating budget for 2006-07 is the creation of courtside seating, which will undoubtedly become the hottest ticket in town.

The UW expects to rake in $300,000 from the sale of the new seats, which will be along the sideline opposite the teams’ benches.
