Hopefully the success of our basketball team will overshadow this crapty move.  Half the fun of the Wooly-era games I went to were harassing the opposing teams players.

I think it sucks.  Having out students behind the visitors was a awesome home court advantage.  We were one of the only schools that had our students that close to the visitors.

It is a tragedy because now, we have at least an extra month without Cat football until next year. I hate wasting my life away but I can hardly wait until next year.

You are correct.

Good move.

Gets the main student section right down to the edge of the floor, just like Ahearn.

Actually, I remember when Tan Tom moved the seats across to the east side, the best thing the guy did while at KSU.

There was a row of seats on the opposite (inside) side of the railiing closest to the floor for VIPs, then the media bench.  My guess is the students will remain exactly where they are now, and there will be more VIP room added, i.e. rich people buying floor seats.


Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

New warning: Don't get in a fight with someone who doesn't even need to bother to buy ink.

This is all very fascinating, but where is the press going to move to, if not the east side of the court?

I bet they move the press up by where they video the games from.  Or perhaps they'll build them a little crow's nest like they had in Ahearn...

Anyone notice they jacked up the student prices to 100 bucks? Excellent.

My guess is they plexiglass the bottom of our scoreboard and set them inside of it so they're looking directly down onto the court, thus giving them a broader view of our program.

... and how bramblage used to be...  It will only be good if they put the students back on the floor.  If it becomes a row of muckity muck Laker fans (Lachey), it will be bad...  unless Jessica tags along. :fatty:

I have it on good authority from a bunch of jackoffs that have never had season tickets that we aren't allowed to bitch about Weiser jacking prices...

I think it's great. He hired a big-time coach, I'm more than willing to pay.

If Lowery or some crap like that was hired, I prolly wouldn't have bought tickets.

Just wait until Weiser bring in the points system for basketball like Sweet Lew did over at ku.  That was a real raw deal for the longtime ticket holders at Allen Field House.

Non-issue, those don't exist at Bram.

Tell that to the folks they have been running out as Phillips 66 Fan of the Game.

Those people have been going to games since long before the best part of Fatty's DNA ran down the inside of his momma's leg and ended up as a brown spot on the bed.

did they ever consider just moving the band?  Split it up and have the teams run between them into the tunnel...they could move the court farther north so there is plenty of room to do that...

i'm pretty sure some kind of point system already exists for the bram.  at least based on donation level and longevity.  cause i was told chairbacks center section seats were not available, even before huggins announcement.

eventually if the bram ever actually sells out for an extended period of time some sort of points system will be put in place that will screw over some if not many of the long time season ticket holders similar to what  happened at kwho.  its just a fact of life that some people will get screwed.  if/when huggins is successful the exact same thing will happen at kstate.  hell, it happened at wsu when they remodeled their arena.  deal with it.
