Getting Ready for 2004 Football is it Spring yet

If you like to watch plays develop there is no better place than the upper deck. If you like friends there is no worse place than the upper deck, but if the Cajuns start winning that will change.

I like a little of both, so I was hoping to find a happy median!!!

Solution: Get everyone to sit in the upper deck, the stadium looks like the place to be.

Remember in my coaching days saying that we should film from the upper deck rather than the press box because of the unreal view----I think that we did on occasion. The overhang has to be one of the great places to watch football in the USA---So very close to the field.

When I lived here after graduation I had seats in the lower section around the 40 and I thought they were great. But since moving back late last season I tried the upper deck and found them to be the best for being able to see the formation and watching the play develop. That's where I plan on getting my season tickets. You can usually find many of the regualr posters up there also.

I sat in the A section one year with the "Family Package" of season tickets which we shared with my brother's family. If you get tickets in this section my only suggestion would be to make sure you are on the other side of the stairs unless you want to have the view blocked by people going up and down constantly. Seated on the better side of the steps with a stadium seat would be sufficient for just about anyone, I would think.

Last season we usually had tickets in the chairbacks near the 40 yard line, very nice but a little too low for a great view.

My dad has the best tickets, I think. He has chairbacks under the overhang. In a rainstorm those seats are where everyone wants to be!

Is Sampy going to play next year or not?

[Cajun Express]

BE, I have heard it is really up to him. He needs to get his act together.

I guess that is good news. I would think anyone who is entering their senior year as a #1 reciever for a Division 1-A program who has a "scare" like he did would get their act together. We'll just have to wait and see I guess.....
