I seem to recall there was a similar 'we cannot do that' two years ago when the school started giving better parking to RCAF as well as seating. Yea we found out we could, increasing both season tickets, and RCAF membership.
    Yeah they may sell but it doesn't mean people will sit there. Which is fine if all we care about are ticket sales. But if you look at the home side, sometimes the emptiest sections are the chairback sections and there's no issue with sun over there. I guess it has to do with the fact that companies buy a bunch of those seats and they dont use them every week.

    Geez Red, people will sit there, we are to playing high noon games, we are not playing early afternoon games, at least in September and early October. Many may very well want to sit in the sun late October and all of November.

    If they can make the SEATS comfortable people want to be between the thirties period.

    ---The same happens for the Basketball and baseball for sure as the whole grandstand is sold out----Somebody mentioned a buy back at LSU for tickets that couldn't be used----and I suggested that after the 3rd or 5th inning let anybody use the grandstand open seats as it looks a hell of a lot better on tv---If the owner of the seats comes you have to move!!!

    Boomer if I have to tell them, that only proves Hammers point about being inept. No business, no business does not have a customer feed back line. I sit in the last chair back seats so I am not affected but my neighbors are and they did not look happy struggling to get by.

    If you feel so compelled why don't you tell them of what you heard about the seats. They know, there was complaints on this board before the first game. But you trust them go ahead and pal up and tell Farmer.

    The spacing is larger in the true chairback area. I was excited when I heard that our area was going to be bench backed. But the spacing was wrong and now its almost impossible to get in or out. The bench backs need to be removed. It really was poorly planned.

    ---OK I guess I will try this one more time---I am an RCAF member and I hold season tickets---I have no pull with the administration and this is the first I have heard of the seating problems---Again remember I was the voice crying in the wilderness as I was mocked for showing so much concern about Tulane and Ltur getting into other conferences----So they spend Lord knows how much trying to improve the seats and you don't like them---Tell them ---What is your problem?? Are you afraid to confront them, or you shy, or just lazy???? Call them and report YOUR problem!!!

    Boomer, you were "mocked" for crying about Tech and Toolame because we cannot control their actions. However, we can control our sections and our failure to even be considered for other conferences lures with our admin. That's who you should be crying about.

    We sit at the top seats, level with the walkway and all the older guys use to pop in and out from the top, with the bench-backs it has become almost impossible to get in and out. I have to agree with the complaints of all the people. I sit on the end so it does not affect me other than the constant getting out of the way of inside sitters.

    ---Wrong Hammer I was mocked for saying that both of them would reach new conference status---the "NO ways and NO chances" were very prominent----So I was correct in saying what did happen for them and in begging our administrators to wake up to the situation!!! And it happened exact;y that way as we weren't invited and they were!!! But have you talked to our administration about all of your gripes??? How many times and to whom??? As the chief complainer of everything on here I am wondering--How many times and what was their answer---I guess all on the board are waiting to what they told you!!!
