hmm...wasn't windy at all when I was up there. Are you guys sure it was wind or maybe you are just Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) or something? Not sure.

Man oh man, wind at an outdoor football stadium.

Our kids like the NEZ because they can high five the crap out of the players when they are coming onto/off of the field.

Great place to see a game.

South or North Endzone . . .

(except if tickets are free)

beware the south endzone seats that behind the goal post. A friend had season tickets there and looking over or under the cross bar was annoying.

Yeah, you'd think they were in Kansas or something with all this wind

the best place to watch a football game is at Ricky's in San Leandro along with Elwood and other great k-staters.

When I go to a game in person, I want to go to a parking lot, get pak'd, wabash, taunt adjacent Missouri State fans, and yell when we're on defense. Not sit in the wind with my gun club radio headphones and make drive charts and admire how well I can see the formations like I'm del miller.

edit: The Miami game is basically sold out

false...the only game with more seats available is the Texas Tech game.

I'll be damned you're probably right. The "pick your seat" thing only shows the bleachers, section 17 and upper deck that has any seats left. Probably less that 1000 left though.

Had row 1 tickets in 425 for 2 years, fantastic seats. Never sat anywhere else up there and endzone seats suck a dick,

hemmy · « **Reply #38 on:** August 16, 2012, 04:49:47 PM »

I have sat upper deck 2-3 times in my life. One game it was so out of control windy I thought we were going to be blown away.

sonofdaxjones · « **Reply #39 on:** August 16, 2012, 04:56:23 PM »

Upper Level: Fantastic View of the Game . . . easy to get to (unless you're fat and lazy), not many people doing drive charts or wearing "gun club" headphones. You can't pak if you sit in the upper level?

Take it from me kids, sitting on the 50 yard line about about 1/3 of the way up on the upper level is a great way to watch a game.

South and North Endzone . . . blows.

Last time or two on the lower level . . . weather delays. Weather DELAYS

Upper level people are my kind of fans. Nobody ever tells everyone around to yell, nobody stands in front of me, no one screaming inane things in my ear all game about play calling or whatever. Just a bunch of people relaxing on a fall afternoon enjoying some football.

I once sat next to some relative of Mark Simoneau on the upper deck. She talked about it all game.

Sounds great! Almost as great as opening the windows next to my couch and enjoying the game w/ Gus Johnson.

I had season tickets in Sec 425 for a couple of years before moving down to section 23 on the lower east sideline.

Upper Deck thoughts:
- the viewing angle is similar to what you get when watching a game on TV
- the atmosphere is very relaxed. Everyone sits, few people make noise. Lots of little kids.
- completely disassociated with the stadium atmosphere. Can't hear the band, the cheerleaders, the students, etc.

I much prefer my seats in the lower level. No contest. If I hadn't switched seat locations, I probably would have ended up giving up the tickets completely when the Ron Prince experiement was going on. I can get the same kind of atmosphere as the upper deck while sitting in a bar or on my couch. With a lot of bad football on the field, there would have been no point in keeping my seats in the upper deck. But because I was in the lower level where there is energy and excitment, I kept my seats and now I'm glad I did.

Will agree with cRustyMicMichiCat . . . that watching the game on the HD Big Screen is probably the best seat of all.

But if I had to choose Endzone or Upper Level . . . with a few exceptions, I'd take upper level every time.

p1k3 · « **Reply #46 on:** August 16, 2012, 06:39:31 PM »

I just don't know who to believe anymore. Maybe I'll take upper deck for the KU game since it will be over by half time. Have nothing to lose at that point.

Of course you would, gramps.

I want to be angry and I want to be around loud angry people that are drunk and just ate a bunch of cheese burgers and carrots and ranch.
