I can't imagine sitting right here during an entire game.

Crazy shite has to go down over here from time to time during the heat of a big game like Alabama or Ole Miss.

Anyone sit over here? What is like?

If you could move, would you?

They were supposed to be moved to the uppers this year. I guess not.

I did in 1988,1989 and 1990. Hated it and moved to South Upper, or whatever it is now 423 near goal line on West side.

No way could I ever sit there ... it drove me nuts with the one Bama fan with the LSU guy right by us. She was obnoxious (ok, and drunk) from the get go and then got kinda quit but got obnoxious all over again.

Why give the section the finger before kick off even happens???

Yeah, I'd have to never sit near "that section".

they probably get hit by a lot of drinks being tossed around. I saw a lot of cups flying into the bama section after the game

I sat in section 306. Kinda separated from the away fans, just annoying as frick when all you can hear is the terrible Alabama band drowning out TGBFTL across the stadium. They would literally wait for us to start playing a cheer, and then start playing just to drown it out.

Heck I was in 240 and surrounded by Bama fans, including a drunk frat boy Bama fan doing Rammer Jammer after the game.

I sit in 401, immediately to the right of the away band, and it has gotten quite old. You are essentially part of their away section in that all of the cheers are directed at you while the cheerleaders perform their cheers right in front of you.

Plus in cases like Alabama and Ole Miss, the band drowns out TGBFTL during virtually every song.

The only bright spot for me has been the occasional good conversation with an away fan and drunkenly yelling at their cheerleaders.

I know. I have been pissed off having just one a-hole away fan by me.

I can't imagine sitting in right next to this section or right behind it. It has to be terrible.

I have been to a lot of games and have sat almost everywhere, except for here. I'll probably never sit around here.

I don't know how those fans do it.

Every once in a while I sit with a friend that has seats two rows behind the visitor section in the SEZ. As long as you're a good sport, it's pretty fun. There have been heated arguments from time to time between trashy fans, but nothing worse than that.

I don't know if I could sit there every game, though.

That's where I usually sit. I sat there for the Bama game (not Ole Miss). I love it. I haven't seen anything too crazy happen. I would move if I could get closer to the 50 other than that its fun.

Why have we not gone through with moving these people.

Put them up top like everyone else.

Why the hell are they still there?

Really?

I guess it could be fun talking to away people if you get a good group sitting by you.

But frick having to listen to and be surrounded by their cheers and their band while I'm in Tiger Stadium.

You have to have a certain amount of seats in the lower bowl for visiting fans. I'm pretty sure this year we moved to finally having the minimum amount in the lower bowl.

It does seem smaller than usual this year.

Not all the visitors' seats will be in the uppers. A minimum amount must be kept in the lower SEZ.

It actually has been quite good this season. Before, many visiting SEC teams were all over the SEZ lower bowl.

Most of the gumps and Ole Miss fans were in the nosebleed uppers.

You could barely hear them at all except, of course, at the very end of the game in OT when we were deathly quiet.

I'm right over them. I get really angry at our fans for throwing shite down on them. Was exceptionally bad vs A&M last year and Ole Miss and Bama this year.
