Important Seat Selection Question

3XNTGRAD · May 10, 2011

I will be selecting my seats in less than two weeks. Before I do that, I really need the answer to this question. Where is the group of fans who like to stand for the entire game going to be? I applaud your dedication, but for my own reasons I prefer to sit in my seat, rather than stand in front of it (I do stand when it is prudent to do so based on the game situation). For that reason, I would really not want to be behind a group that stands the entire game. So, do you know what section/area you are aiming for?

I would personally like to be somewhere around the 40-45 yard line in the lower section (but near or at the top of the lowest section, which would duplicate the general area I had in Fouts - but with a much better view, of course!).

Thanks in advance.

We will pummel all of our opponents causing everyone to stand the entire game. I suppose the visitors section will then be the section where everyone is seated .

To be honest, no idea and no one can tell you this before the season opens.

I assume that most of the group I am addressing will want to be together, and are at least going to make some effort to sit together as they select seats. I would hope they know enough to at least help me steer clear of the most likely area. Heck - I'll claim the North 40 if they want to claim the South

I, too, think this will be a tough group to pin point. Just wish for the best when you purchase your seats. Personally, I hope the majority of the stadium is standing during the games.

I also don't mind standing during critical times during the game, I'm just not much on standing when were are down by 40 points. I recall last year many of the older fans staring at the backs of this group because they are not able to stand the entire game. Not hating just my preference.

It is not to late to buy Club Seats. Otherwise, sit on the front row of the upper portion of the stadium.

Not an option for me right now, but I sure won't mind an occasional invitation to visit the Club Level. Sounds very nice!

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm still more interested in the back of the lower section, rather than the bottom of the upper level. Guess old habits die hard.

It is an important question but I'm pretty sure that it hasn't/won't be addressed. I am physically unable to stand the entire game and if there is a group in front of me I'll have to demand other seats or request that the standees move to the back of the upper tier.

There are times when it's appropriate to stand and I'll do my best to jump to my feet at those times but I'll leave standing the whole game to the Aggies.

I was going to make the same suggestion. Seems like that would be the only way to completely mitigate the risk you are concerned about. You might have to decide what is most important to you. Otherwise, staring at backs could possibly be another habit that dies hard. You are wanting to sit in the section where the most serious of die hard fans sit. (by the way, I sat in the upper section at Fouts, so I am not one of the folks you speak of.)

How do I post something on here? Is that possible? I want to start a thread about the club level. i am picking my seats Monday, I believe. I want to find out who is where. Maybe my wife and I can find another couple in their 27's-35's to sit near. I'm in the 0-15yd line sections. I just don't know what end of the field I want to be on.

Are you the Grant with the Mean Green Garage by chance?

I'm an idiot to this stuff. Why would I have a -1 rating right now? How did you repost my post with that frame around it?

Not sure who gave you the -1, but that's balanced out now. Welcome to the forum.
