How awful is the SRO area? Is it super crowded? Will I have a decent view? Should I just have MIR kick peoples asses so I can move to the front?
Wouldn't know. SW and I snuck into the Cauldron the only time I've ever had an SRO ticket. 
(In all seriousness, you need to go inside the stadium ASAP to get a spot to stand)
SRO is not horrible. theres still plenty of supporters up there so you still get the atmosphere. my first skc game at sp was sro, and it was still fun as balls. but yeah, you'll want to get in a bit early to make sure you claim your bit of "rail". above the cauldron is fun.
More than a bit early because it's a playoff game. Scott said it was full up there way before the game started against Houston.
1. I don't have any tickets yet SRO or otherwise, hoping for the best on Monday. Now I'm absolutely avoiding the secondary market. Tobias was a stud and got me an east stand ticket which is now trash, rough ridin' Utah.
2. SRO is very good and you can stand virtually anywhere. Myself, mocat, and mocat gf got to our spot moments before t9ch started and we were right on top of the cauldron, middle of the goal. We had to see over two guys at the rail who were about 5'7". There are plenty of standing areas that offer totally unobstructed views directly behind the last row of the seating bowl.
