I spoke with someone in the know last night. There will be 4 total 'beer tub' setups, two each in the east and west lobby concourses. Don't hold your breath for anything besides regular domestic, but it's not ruled our per say. Also be prepared to have your ID scanned. The students in the lower sections wanting wristbands will all be scanned and the machines can pick up multiple swipes, so you can't pass it off to your buddy.

Those are for fans. They go for $750 and you have to buy 4 - kind of a modified box seat. Not sure what they call them.

I was talking to the staff and they still have a few of those seats left. They look like the best seats in the house to me. Very cool.

I'm up bear the top and am happy with my view. The whole place is awesome. Honesty, I can not even come up with a complaint even if I was looking to complain. Absolutely top notch.

This is the Loge. They also require a $5,000 donation. The touchscreen tablets are supposedly for ordering drinks and food from servers as well as accessing replays, etc., but it's unclear if that will be operational this year or next.

They have them on the red lower level seats.

I guess they should have had an auction for the urinals and the old moody seats :lol:

I loved the old urinals but I am very pleased with the easy in/out restrooms they have now. The whole place [deleted] away, the concourses are so much wider, the concession stands are gorgeous and hopefully will have food to match, the red seats are much more comfortable than the old blue ones.

My only complaint is the signage denoting the sections, which are misleading, it looks like the 200s are in the rafters and the 100s are blue, I'd say a few folks had heart attacks thinking their seats were in the wrong spots.

Great job by SMU on this one though, looks big time and flashy but still very intimate.

Well put. It's still Moody... even without the vintage urinals.

It was a lot easier when a X written on your hand w a Sharpee meant you could drink.

Not many comments on floor?
I like the Classic look on camera-less distraction.Primary Blue-which appears much richer and deeper than in introduction-with highlites of red. My opinion is that its the best design ever at Moody on Camera
But how did it look in person.

Please do not throw batteries or water bottles like they do in College Park, or just chant F%CK DOOK the entire time. Be loud, be rowdy, be clever, but you don't have to be [deleted] to have an intimidating environment.

I agree now that I'm older, but being an [deleted] to someone would get in my head more. If I was on the road and they started chanting my girlfriends name, my head would not be in the game. Just sayin...but I also understand where you're coming from
