I was referring to the "Tigervision" games that are not televised by ESPN, CBS, JeffPilot, etc.
In other words - weenie teams that come into Tiger Stadium that are not shown on Regional or National TV (the North Texases, the La.Techs, the ULLs, the Middle Tennessees, etc).
Who fricking cares if people leave early for those? A. They won't be on TV outside of La.
B. It will STILL be standing room only at the BEGINNING of those games, no matter WHO the opponent is.


I hate to break it to you, but those Tiger Vision games are usually shown outside of the state on ESPN Gameplan that just broadcasts the Tiger Vision broadcast. But I still see what you're getting at.

Anyone want to give a "best guess" as to what sections would be eliminated in for me a worst case scenario?

Thoughts? Would the uppers be CONNECTED???

I'm about to panic as potentially
being moved as that's my ez!

Now that's true.
But I guess what I mean is that for many of the truly big 'epic' games like Bama '10; Florida 09; Bama '08; VT, UF, Aub, Arky '07, Tenn, Aub, UF '05, etc. - Death Valley could hold a lot more people.

I agree with this, the chain link is awful.

Yall please cease and desist plagirizing the opinions from my earler post on the same topic in another thread from yesterday.

BTW, Alleva should have had that high schoolish chain link fence ripped out during the first week after arriving on campus. I would have.

Really, what happens if any ticket holders would be displaced? I AIN'T going to the uppers.


Some seats will be lost and, unfortunately, all ticket rices will go up because all Athletic Department costs will rise.

they did those before they got any money I think it was to illustrate what the rest would look like if people gave them money to get all of the windows fixed (a teaser of sorts). It was a genius move by TAF because they raised all the money for the repairs; but sadly, they haven't done shite since...

Just completed my survey. Really hope that they put these suites and club seating above the existing SEZ. Don't want to lose my seats there...

I hope TAF doesn't show pictures of crowd during halftime of the Troy game in the survey.

hell no....parking is already a nightmare...and TAF fees for FOOTBALL games are too high for non-corporate types already.

Screw the additional seats.

92,400 is plenty to the the loudest and most intimidating already.

Someone, I guess me, needs to tell you both ways are acceptable.

More suites and premium seating is a great idea. Those are what bring in the money. I know a lot of people want immediate improvements to the interior (and they are desperately needed) but more premium seating would only result in a greater budget to make improvements down the road.
