Isn't that just for "celebrities?"  Doesn't do anything to encourage the "public" to spend some money on concessions and increase UA's $ intake/income.

Unless it's changed, the concessions have nothing to do with UAs revenue. Last I knew UA gave a contract and get a flat fee regardless of sales. The department makes the same amount from concessions if they sell $100 or $100,000 worth of food and beverage during a game. The only motivation the department has to improve concessions is if it starts to affect attendance, which I believe that is has. 

As far as the courtside corner goes, I don't know what the donation amount required is to get access to it, but I don't qualify. I chose cheeper seats because I like the location better than the more expensive seats. I've had 4 Tix in the same basic spot for over a decade. I've made additional donations each year for at least the last 5, but my per year number is still relatively small, so I can't get in there. I guess it would be nice to access it, but the vast majority of fans can not. The $iena options with terrible quality is 100% harming attendance. I'm happy to spend money buying food and drinks at each game, but I can't because the options available are terrible.

You have to donate at the 1844 society level ($1000). I don't believe it all has to be to Athletics to qualify.

Of course there will be many more concession areas around the concourse for men’s games when the students are back. Won’t help the selection/ quality though

There seems to be less concessions as the season progresses, I would use the term concessions lightly, if at all.
