So what's it like?

Want to go to the Cowboys Saints game, but the only thing available is standing room only.

Tell me more.

If you are willing to go in right when the doors open, you will get a sweet spot. It kinda takes away from tailgating and pregame experience, but there are some good places to stand. Since all of the standing is in the endzones, I tend to go up a few decks and go for the middle (right behind the field goal), so I can actually tell what's going on.

I went there to see the Eagles play on Christmas Eve 2011 as a SRO'er. It wasn't too bad. Might want to come early to get as close as you can to the action.

Meh. Experience is okay, but you will mostly be watching on the screens and paying for high as giraffe pussy beer prices.

Ridiculously high beer prices are nothing new.

I miss Texas Stadium. There was not a bad seat in that stadium.

Come early and you will be fine. Done it for the past 3 lsu games there and had a good view.

Just gotta be a dick and box out all the douchebags that come in 5 minutes before kickoff and try to work their way to the front

It's really not as bad as you think. Every time I have gone my group just makes friends with the people around us so they will save your spot if you want to go to the restroom or get food/ drinks.

They have a decent set up for SRO with ledges to rest against or out your drinks on

I've been to many different sporting events in many different places, but the only reasonable priced tickets are SRO.
I guess the prices are extremely high because it's a Sunday night game???

I dunno but 140 dollars each for nose bleed seats seem retarded.

Do the standing room. They have areas for it on the stairways. That's what I did every time and had great views

Nose bleed in that stadium isn't bad at all. You'll be watching the big arse screen anyways

I'm taking my Dad to his first MLB & NFL games, just want to make sure I do it right!

We're Saints fans, I just hope we don't get 'boxed' out while up there.

For those on here that know us, please don't tell him, because it's a surprise.
