One of the reasons center section chairbacks are not available is because some of those people are, or have ties to people who contributed money to build Bramlage. If you gave X amount you had rights to chairback tickets forever as long as you paid the bill every year for the tickets. The rest go to people way up in KSU's point system as WN can attest.
In addition, when Bramlage first opened. The Benches were on the West Side, the press table was on a riser just behind the benches and the scorers table and ran the entire length of the court. The students had the front rows on the east side all the way up to the top for their seating.
Ask anyone who played at Ahearn, and they'll tell you it was absolutely terrifying for oppossing players to have to try and inboud the ball on the East Sideline right next to the students who were standing in some cases no more then 3 feet away. Amazingly Ahearn was a riot waiting to happen, but it never did ... but you could've had 4,000 students on the court in a matter of seconds. It would be outstanding IMO if they setup Bramlage like they originally did and let the students stand right down next to the court and run all the way to the top.
