Ford Seat Selection Question

I currently have 4 seats in sec 106 row 12 on the north aisle (next to 107). As I ponder my renewal options I thought I would try to stay in the same section but move closer to 105 for the same level Mustang Club donation. The only block of 4 currently open that fit that criteria are in row 5. I worry a little about the sight lines sitting that low.

Does anyone here have seats that close to the field and what do you think of them?

Have been in row one in 107 for the last couple years and like the seats. Cheerleaders, Peruna, players are all close to you, and you get a great view of the goalline plays on the north side. Did I mention the cheerleaders?

I just bought a season ticket in the 3rd row of section 124 on the student side. Does anyone have insight on how good of a viewpoint I can expect in the 3rd row of sect. 124?

Thanks!

Ponywhupp, I am Section 106, Row 8 and I love the seats. I would think Row 5 in 105 would be even better.

Thanks guys. Just wanted to make sure me and the family would be able to see over Margus (when we have the ball) sitting that close to the field. Now we'll just have to look a little to the left instead of straight ahead to see the pom squad!

They move every quarter. Not that I pay attention, being happily married and all.

I'm in row 4 right behind the team and I have only had two problems seeing the games. One is when the girl friends of the players line up along the railing and stand there throughout the game and the other is when we are on TV, the camera that rolls along the sideline occasionally blocks our view. In the past that has not been too much of a problem since we weren't on TV very much...duh. :)

Go with row 5.

If anyone would have an interest in 2 stadium club seats, please let me know. I have 2 and am thinking about getting 2 more to spread the MC donation cost.

I voiced my complaint to the powers that be about that rolling TV stand/camera. It needs to be on the other side. First, hardly anyone sits in the center 1/3 over there. Second, the opposing fans are on the south 1/3 of that side. Third the students take up the other 3rd on the north end and they are on an end that would rarely be blocked and leave at half time anyway. And fourth ,it is better to have the view of the stands from the east to the west than a view of the empty stands. Only problem may be whether or not there is a power supply over there. If not, they need to put one in because we will be getting more and more TV exposure and I do not like being blocked from the center of the field.

Video cameras facing into direct sunlight don't make ESPN HD clients happy...

I don't think they'd go with the midfield mustang upside down...although I agree w/ your points

I am in section 105 row 11 and love the view. The team is close. The coaches are really amazing to watch. And the view is fine. Go with row 5 and if they are too close, the folks next to me on row 11 never come to games. In the last 2 years that I have had these seats, the people next to me have only attended two games. You can always move up.

Another thing, if you are concerned about the view, call the ticket office on May 2 to see if you can move up a few rows.
