Cowboys to host New Mexico, let's sellout the AA!

Unfilled prime seats in the lower bowl solution: Rule - If a seat is not filled by the owner by half-time, anyone can move into it. If, for some lame reason, the owner shows in the second half, the occupant shall kindly vacate it.

I would rather us move in that direction than punish people that donate and buy season tickets. I want them to show up as much as the next guy, but they made a season-long financial commitment to the program that many others haven't made. There's something to be said for that.

I think the Fresno State arena actually did this last weekend. There were supposedly 8,000 people at the game, but it looked empty until after halftime. In the 2nd half, the place looked packed.

They do this at Montana basketball games.. except they don't even wait until half, they do it at the under 7 timeout.

Lets say this happens. When a guy who moved down from the upper level leaves his seat to use the restroom, is the seat fair game again? Just seems like that would open up a whole can of worms.

turning into an NBA arena, not a College basketball arena

I have an update on available seats. The upper bowl is selling very quickly as well. I don't think there's anything in the first ten rows of the upper bowl. With a solid walk-up crowd and a good student turn-out, it might sell-out. It's going to be a great crowd and I'm sure the student turn-out should be very good, since they've been on break for over a month. Also, I would expect the lower bowl to be more full for this game then any other as the season ticket holders have prime conditions to show up: Saturday game, big opponent, and a good tip time to drive back home on Saturday.

I think UW should try to address our problems and solve two of them at the same time. The athletics department should figure out an easy way to resell the lower bowl tickets that season ticket holders know they aren't going to use. We still have to figure out how to get our budget up and that would definitely help.

What was the student turnout for SDSU? I would expect it to almost double for this game

You don't think the people around his seat would speak up that it is taken? Not complicated.

Like the student section...or football...or tons of other events, sporting or otherwise. It's not that damn hard.

But why should someone be able to claim a seat is taken when its not even their seat to begin with?

To fill the seat! That is the crux of this discussion if you have not figured that out.

Honestly... I'm not sure if he really is that ignorant, or he's just a below-average troll

Yes. But all general admission tickets are the same price.

Here, you think it should be okay for someone to pay for a cheaper ticket and be able to lay claim to a more expensive seat. I don't think that's right. You sit in the seat you paid for. If you paid to sit in the cheap seats, sit in the cheap seats.

on the flip side, if you bought the expensive seat and don't show, don't bitch about somebody sitting in your seat. You don't get that we would like as many fans as close as possible to the floor to create the environment the strikes fear into the opposing team. Nothing more intimidating than a 1000 empty yellow padded chairbacks.

God damn you will defend this AD to the end of the earth regardless of how much or little you know.

The problem is that the lower bowl is sold out to a lot of people who don't use their tickets very often. So it doesn't matter if I WANT to pay extra and sit lower, I can't because most of not all of the seats are already taken by a lot of folks who aren't going to the game.

Don't feed the troll. I'd rather have Mr. Large make a comeback than let him keep on pumping out the same old argument about a topic he has no grounds to support or oppose. From the renovations, to landmark security, to game day parking, to the ticket office, to the overall game day experience. Experience it firsthand, then we'll listen.

So become a season ticket holder or order your seats earlier.... There hasn't been a single game where you couldn't at some point get a lower bowl ticket...

Solutions:
1) Ask your neighbor to save it, saying you are a squatter, using the unused seat rule.
2) Have the AA staff supply "Will be Back" signs to place on the seat.
3) Don't drink so much beer that you have to pee all the time (admittedly, the least practical solution)

Why should they have the right to get that seat when they return if they didn't pay for it?
