Author Topic: Upper deck of LHOFHCBSFS (section 420-430) Thoughts? (Read 5741 times)

Never sat there. I kind of want to sit there but i've heard mixed reviews. Seems like better seats than the bowl and the corners of the bowl, but what about sound and crowd noise and stuff like that?

Please hurry the eff up and respond so I can buy some tickets. TIA.

Thanks. See I've never sat in the bowl area either. More opinions please. TIA.

It's awful.

EDIT: You've now expanded your search to bowl also. Also awful. Find a way to get in the student section for as long as you can.

Thought the upper section was only for Wamego townies.

south endzone isn't bad but not great when the ball is on the north side of the field, have to turn around to see the jumbotron because the north endzone "jumbo"tron is impossibly to see. Upperdeck is prob better view of the whole field, but lacks atmosphere and sound would be my guess

Well that's the problem. I don't hardly know anyone in Manhattan anymore and the few that I do know are too poor to go buy a ticket so I can pay them back. So I'm not really sure how else to do it.

Had tickets in the south end zone for a number of years. Not bad at all. I would say you want to be in around row 30 or something. If you get right on the field, it would be awesome for td's in the end zone and all, but it would suck past the 30 yard line. In row 30 or so, it really only starts to suck at about the opposite 20 yard line.
I sat in the upper deck (about 10 rows from the top) for a game it just sucked. I remember thinking it sucked, even though I was wasted.

center sections of the upper deck isn't bad. as long as you aren't at the very top then its too far to see anything and too windy to hear anything

It's scary in the upper deck

You are probably right. I guess the first several rows are probably pretty good. Will get even better once the stadium renovations are complete to help make you feel like you are part of the stadium.

Confirmed. A few years back I was buying tickets from a bud who lived in Wamego at the time and was surrounded by a bunch of people who were raving about Tim Reyer.

Went ahead and pulled the trigger on Section 17. Thank you goEMAW for your help.

edit: The Miami game is basically sold out

Upper Level . . . Great place to sit, sat on the 50 yard line for years.

Upper deck is great as long as you're not at the very top. Hate the student section now. Love sitting for almost the entire game.

MadCat · « **Reply #20 on:** August 16, 2012, 01:34:50 PM »

I've sat in the upper deck for a game or two.
Pros:
The view was great.

Cons:
No atmosphere...very quiet.
Wind (okay, so there is atmosphere)
Stairs

Much prefer the NEZ personally

There were almost entirely "at the very top" tickets left. It was a no brainer imo.
