Save Tightwad Hill!

We, the undersigned, finding that watching the University of California Golden Bears football games at historic California Memorial Stadium from Tightwad Hill is a cherished tradition of the U.C. Berkeley community and the Berkeley community at large that contributes to the diversity, vitality, and unique character of the Campus and City; that the denizens of Tightwad Hill, while highly spirited, generally act responsibly to remove litter, protect the natural resources of Tightwad Hill, and police their own behavior, though wearing of red garments is not allowed; that any alterations to Memorial Stadium that would block views of the playing field from Tightwad Hill or that would prevent free access to Tightwad Hill would destroy this great tradition and diminish the enjoyment of attending football games at Memorial Stadium for all Golden Bear fans; and that the proposed Southeast Campus Integrated Projects include modifications to Memorial Stadium that have the potential to block views of the playing field from Tightwad Hill, namely the Eastside Seating Structure and possibly other structures, respectfully request that The Regents of the University of California, when considering approval of the Southeast Campus Integrated Projects, condition approval to eliminate the proposed Eastside Seating Structure, to eliminate or modify any other Stadium modifications that would block views of the playing field from Tightwad Hill, and to enable continued free access to Tightwad Hill.
