I can see that Wren really has a thing for "premium" seating, but I'm just not seeing the value in this one.  If these had existed when Apogee had opened, I would most certainly have had no interest in them. 

You are sitting right on top of the action almost right on the field.  It's a much better viewing seat than the club although I think the regular sections like 105 are pretty sweet as well.   It looks like a more comfortable chair as well although I am not sure about that.

I've gotten used to the high in the sky view.  I've gone down to 105 a time or two, and the perspective throws me off.  Hard for me to follow plays when looking at them from a level plane. 

I did, however, find myself in the north end zone for the winning touchdown against UTSA, and I have to say of all the plays I've ever seen at Apogee, including The Stand, being right on top of that play was the best moment I've ever had in the place.

Seems to me if they were a little cheaper....they would be a sweet option. 

Access to the club, can watch from up there and easily find some unused seats to sit in about the 2nd quarter.

Where did you get this information?  The ticket price is nearly double that of a club ticket.  How can they command such a premium for what I consider to be a lesser seat? 

That’s far cheaper than a Club seat.  Honestly, I am a little perturbed.  We paid multi thousands to get the Club level, now you can pay 1000 for a season and have full access to the club.  Most people never sit on their seats in the club anyway so you are giving 27 people access to the club for a much cheaper price.  For my 4 seats and require donation it’s 3800 a season, on top of the large donation up front.  With this you skip the large donation and basically pay the same amount a season.

From what i hear the screens (while not as big as the 1 large one we have now) will be significantly bigger than the current corner board.  

So I saw this on /r/CFB...

I think there can then be only one solution for Apogee.

The Touchdown Terrance seats are only too expensive (priced too high) if they don’t sell.  The market will make that decision.

I think that club view is great for seeing the plays develop.  There is a reason the coordinators at most programs are up high.  Sidelines are great for hearing the game and seeing the players body language and seeing the coaches interacting with the team.

You could have the best of both worlds and sit in rows 1-10 of sections 205-208.

I like sitting in the rows just below the club level so that I can catch the dollar bills that fall out of their pockets.

Exactly why I bought the TD Terrace. I do not sit in my seat anyway and I get all the club perks and can always get out of the sun by sitting in the silver chairs at the silver tables just behind the club seats and see just as much as the person sitting in the club seats.

The real money is at the Hub Club coat check... the pockets of our furs are lined with $100 bills.

Most sports venues work this way. Been to a Cowboys game? Every nook and cranny is some kind of different "premium." The reality is we are trying to play with the big boys now in many regards. That takes money. The cabanas last year, now these. I like my regular seat on the 35 (would prefer 50 but can't afford it) but kudos to the department for trying to find every way possible to make money. They added the fancy seats in the old media seating at basketball last year too. It's about capturing dollars. They don't need 20,000 people to like those seats. They only need two dozen. Last I heard they were almost sold out of club seats so they need something premium to offer I'm sure.

Exactly! I do, and that is what I meant when I said that I selected for yardline and sightline.

I recently saw that and thought it was a great idea.  For many years, I considered that grossly wasted real estate.

It is. It was also unbearable vs Army. Being able to see every single missed defensive lineup and miscue during that one was miserable.
