Stadium Seats

PlummMeanGreen · October 23, 2017

At my age you tend to repeat yourself but....

...what former Dallas Cowboys Super Scout Gil Brandt said about Apogee Stadium on a tour before it opened: " It's a Taj Mahal of College Football (and I've seen them all)".........anyhow, that was good enough for me. Still is.

I only wish we needed seats for about 35-40,000 students, alums & Mean Green fans. One day we will, but not sure in some of us older nestor's lifetimes.

We could fill a 40K Apogee if we played at least one Big 12 school in it every Fall. Think of all the Mean Green fans at the last 2 HOD Bowl games & then if we played UT, OU, or an Oklahoma State plus all their traveling fans?

GMG!

It’s not like we don’t have options. If you don’t like the benches, pay a little more for seat backs. If you don’t like the seat backs, pay more and get the club seats. Still not happy? Pay a lot more and get the padded leather (?) seats in a suite. It all comes with a price tag. Asking the University to upgrade the seating but not expecting to pay more for those seats is just silly.

Or go to Academy and buy one.

I guess I'm just used to the seats at Collins (Guyer and Ryan High) and Coppell's stadium too. I don't go to TU's stadium or any other "big" college. Just happened to see UMHB and thought how great it'd be for us. Here's a pic.

C.H. Collins has chairbacks throughout? I thought it was only in the season ticket section.

I prefer the bench seats because it encourages standing throughout the game. Just my preference.

We bought the metal ones that they sell in the stadium and are very happy. I can use them anywhere and they were cheaper than the 1 year stadium seat backs and have padding.

While w'ere trying to be like Mary Hardin Baylor, does that mean we want to reduce the capacity of Apogee by over 20K also?

Seems like that wouldn't be a good thing....

University of Louisville's stadium is exclusively seat backs... being expanded to 65K seats right now!

In the stadium shop they sell a seat back/cushion contraption that I bought for my wife when she complained. I think they are around $30. It does the job.

I get the argument for seatbacks, and think the bench seats with backs that $mut have are a good option. Maybe start with putting them just in the season ticket sections. However, as someone who played at one of the biggest high school stadiums in the state, and now works in a town with a lower level erector set stadium, to compare Apogee with that is ludicrous.
