FANS BEHIND VISITORS BENCH

[mjhamr]

I was one of three fans in the USA womens game last week in Mobile, with 1286 home fans there. The seats behind our bench were lined with home team fans. They apparently don't know the rule! Don't believe for a minute they didn't take advantage of the croud and home court atmosphere.

What rule?

As was discussed at length not too long ago, there is a conference rule that the section or certain amount of rows behind the visitors bench is for visiting fans seating, not a student section for the home crowd. This is probably as we can tell so that the area for comp tickets will be universal throughout the league. It is also why there were some issues when several students moved to the other side of the Super Pit and Rick V pointed out what sections were allowed and what sections weren't.

In the Duke/UNC game last night Duke had their fans right behind their bench as well, so it might not just be a Sun Belt rule.
