Students take up what, 18-24?  So thats 7/24 of the sections.  Accounting for some smaller sections, its roughly 1/3 of the building but more so people wise with students taking less room than the general public.  For it to be half, they would have to go all the way around 1 curve or halfway around both.  They don't.

So you're saying it's 75%?

I'm saying you're Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) if you think its half of Bram
Approx bottom 1/3 of 18 is reserved donor seating as well

Doom's weird with seating configurations.  You should see his basement (mancave).

Over half the seating in the man cave is in front of drafting desks!

All of 24 and 25 is absolutely not student seating, the ticket office offered these sections up for me when I was selected for season tickets this year.

Jesus Christ people get it together. Student seating takes up half of the Bram? Are you rough ridin' Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)? It fluctuates a bit but official student seating is 4,800.

Quote from: Future BMWJhawk
Love how K-State fans are running their mouth about KU not selling out their season tickets.  Let's take a look at the facts:

*  Allen Fieldhouse seats 16,300, 4,000 of which are reserved to students, leaving 12,300 available for public season ticket sales.

*  Bramlage seats 12,500, with an estimated 5,000-6,000 reserved to students, leaving 6500 to 7500 for public season ticket sales.

So, even being generous to the Purps, they're actually lagging nearly 5,000 behind KU in actual public season tickets sold, as well as in football recruiting.

Once again, KU rules; K-State drools.  BMW PWNS AGAIN!1!11!11!  (BRB, guys, gotta go delete my goEMAW account.)

If it gets me more bmw gold I'm pretty sure we have our student sec accounts for 10,000 seats and the rest are given to vagrants.   :excited:

My understanding is students paid for part of the construction when Bramlage was being built with the agreement that they'd be guaranteed that allotment of tickets. Not sure if that agreement is still active, but I think that's how the larger than normal allotment started.

There are plenty of people wanting season tickets that can't get them this year.  Would be interesting to see how many we'd actually be able to sell if we had more seats to fill.

This would have made my explanation so much easier  :facepalm:.  18 or 19 to 25 I believe

Also,



Now, I distinctly remember hearing "SMELLIS!!"

Are you excited about KR heckling opportunities this year? Making fun of his baldness and watching all of his colleagues laugh at him...etc

It's 4,800 student tickets . . . straight from the mouth of someone who would absolutely know.    The students get those seats because 25 years ago they voted to help pay for Bramlage.   

Plus we all know this was going to be a Bentard Tardville talking point. 

Every little thing pisses the kid off these days, 1 win in the last 11 conference football games is absolutely eating him alive.

Not sure about pizzas but they do oversell.  I remember them telling people that if they didn't show up early enough to the KU game that they may not have a seat.

if you were one of the students that didn't make it in time, a good prank would be to dress up as a pizza delivery guy and say that you are trying to deliver a medium pie to someone in section 17 or something and then when you get into the stadium you open the box and it has a change of clotes and you change clothes and then they're like aren't you the pizza guy and then you're like nope, not me. and then you watch the cats dominate w/ threes and steals and dunks.

Yes.  Though the pizzas usually never made it past the first few rows.

Of course.  This often brought the loudest cheers of the night.  Nothing like a piece of pepperoni that may or may not have been touched by several other people.

Not GA, he gave me row and seat # options, I had the choice of there, near the top, or section 14.  I asked him which he thought was better and he said sec 14 because the students aren't near there and my pregnant wife wouldn't have to stand up the entire game.  I'm guessing that the top of those sections are reserved for non-students.
