What? Are you talking about? And who was this statement for? What does this have to do with Texas A & M seating?
Who was it for? It was clearly addressed to ponyboy in response to ponyboy's post.

If we want to put Aggie fans in the equivalent seating if they return to SMU we should seat them on top of Expressway Tower

Got news for you, in TCU's new stadium the visitor's seating is up high and near the end zone....as far away from the field as they can get them. Bring a parachute.

What section did you get seats in? I received some in section 227. Doesn't seem to be too terribly high.

Yes, my TCU tickets are high, but not as bad as A&M and I will keep them. As for A&M, I'm trading.

Mine are 226 NN (short for Nose bleed). Are we really spread around this much? Or, are we really bringing this many fans? I hope so. 8)

Did you get your tickets through SMU? I went to one of their games last year, Tech I believe, and the majority of the visitors appeared to be in sections 412 thru 416 and 312 thru 316. If you haven't been to a game there yet, it is hard to explain about how high it is. It is the highest section in the stadium and sits at a pretty steep angle...or at least that's what it looks like from the concourse level. The main point is that the visitors are a long ways from the field and thus it's hard to hear their cheers by the visiting team that is located on the opposite side of the field. There may have been some visiting team fans in 226 and 227 also now that I think about it.

Also note that the entire lower level on the side of the visiting teams benches is all TCU student seating.

Just got a surprisingly good deal on (1) A&M ticket in Section 145 around the 25+ yardline... Go lucky. 8)

Yeah I'm 227, Row X! That seems pretty high! I'll take my vertigo medicine.

When I went for the game two years ago, we had a group of 20 or so, that sat on the A&M sideline at about the 20, about 20 or 30 or so rows back. We didn't mind sitting in the middle of the aggies. It actually made it a lot more fun. I didn't feel like I was going to be murdered like I was at Tech. So I would recommend you ditch your nosebleeds if you can.

Can't remember how much it cost, but it wasn't bad at all. I do remember there being that other group of SMU people (a whole section) stuck in the corner that were, more or less across, from us as well.

Side note/pro tip - slip the dude in the super premium aggie lot (basically the closest to the stadium reserved for the big boosters) some cash ($10, maybe $20) and they'll let you park/tailgate there. Tons of space, no one will bother you. We had about 5 different cars do it. I just found it funny since it was their booster lot that was really, really empty. :lol:

Yes, but you will be expected to stand all game. However, you will be allowed to sit at quarter-end! :lol:
