no. like floor seats where you have to have credentials hanging around your neck or whatever. not just good seats that you can move down into.

the garth style seats?  you can self-upgrade into those if the garths next to you are cool w. it.

well i mean i guess you can probably self upgrade to anything in the world as long as all parties involved and around are cool w/ it. i heard that the bram may be taking matters into their own hands this year though and proactively moving people into them in effort to make the stands look more full on tv. thought c-crap might be able to tell me whether this was happening or not.

I imagine the garths aren't cool with using randos to fill the courtside folding chairs, or having empty folding chairs that need filling in the first place.

yeah. the whole thing seems pretty far fetched.

How great would it be if you were courtside and the seats next to you were empty? Can you imagine laying out across some chairs and taking a nap during a game? If anyone was watching on TV (I know, I know, ell oh ell), they would probably just laugh their ass off when they saw that. Some rando, courtside, just taking a snooze. Would be a pretty great summary of brucesketball if you ask me.

are they really pulling randos from up in the stands and using them as fillers for the empty courtside seats so that it looks better on tv?

I honestly don't know. Sorry.

When you check on this, if confirmed true, please put me on the rando list.  T-Y.

I'm sure next year the court side seats will be gone as well when the Bram officially returns to its Wooldridge/Asbury former self.

Man, you would have thought that Currie would have checked around a little bit to see what it was like at the Bram before Frank.  He had it pretty good.

I guess we can just chalk it up to lessons learned!

Those courtside seats really are amazing. You get free concessions delivered to your seat, free beer (but you have to go up top to drink it), and your feet are right next to the wood.

Wow, that sounds elite.  I remember in those real important games when we were playing good teams and Garth would get all animated and the staff would have to come over and tell him to keep his feet off the court. 

One other thing I was thinking about are the poor people that bought those loge boxes!   :lol:

Man, I'm kicking myself for throwing close to $2,000 out the window this year for my season tickets.  I can only imagine how mad those guys are.

Those boxes include the courtside seats. You have to go up to your box if you want to grab a beer out of the mini-fridge. Then you can go back to your courtside seat at the next timeout. I can't imagine people are using them for most games this year. It might be possible to upgrade your seats for a game if you call the ticket office and ask.

I didn't know that.  That sounds like it would be a good gig, if I still cared at all about basketball.

One thing I remember about being a student during the Asbury/Wooldridge days was when KU would come to the Bram to kick our dicks in the dirt and there would be 6,000 KU fans.  That was always fun too.

I think Currie honestly may not have realized that this is the way it was prior to Huggins/Frank.  It's quite plausible.  I mean, how could he have known?!!

I remember a couple years ago, whenevs Dom would get some elite break away dunk after a Denis steal and a couple guys in those seats would stand up and step forward to give Dom five as he ran by. 

Really felt good even though it wasn't me.  One of those completely amazing EMAW moments that you can live vicariously through others.

This is legit. I remember seeing that and thought if I ever win/inherit/earn enough $ to sit that close to the action, I would never be able to keep them as I would continue my verbal assault on the S Collins and McElbow Twins all game long and be asked to move back to row 7 where I'm not an embarrassing disruption.

No it sounds like you would have been doing it right. :cheers:
