How to Make Moody Better for SMU Fans

[GRGB]

jeez...

gimme gimme gimme

it's college basketball, and there are a lot of home games, forgive the guy who pays $200 / seat if he no-shows a few times, he also paid a ton more for the right to do that.

As a red seat guy,let me b..... A bit...the guy next to us told me today he would not come back...that the seats were cheap,there is no leg room...that they do not qualify as premium. ..he has back problems...I agree with him but we will still bethere for every game....but I can understand why some folks don't think these seats are close to premium...

Premium seating as in best view in the house. Are they not?

Did we build moody so that TV cameras point to the freaking alumni side again?

No the tv camera's show the benches and student section so you do not see the empty red seats on TV during the normal run of play.

I have always wondered why we didn't design Ford to have the cameras facing the home side.

1) the sun faces east
2) it's normal to show the visiting side
3) the press (ostensibly related to the camera crews) are in the press boxes, on the west side

I know. But, spartan crowds on the visitors side were to be expected.

I knew you would not show up if you were not going to be wearing red or blue.

The second we stop referring to the east side as the visitors side is the second we become a big-time program. This isn't high school football and something like 75% of the seating on that side is supposed to be for SMU fans (the visitors only have a few sections). Though the visiting bench is over there, the east side is the home side just as the west side is the home side.

Sorry, pet peeve.

Great point.

If you can't make it eight minutes after the tip, too bad. Your seat should be filled. Go get the view from up top.

And might have his/her name on a building.

Admitted red seater here, but I'm one of the few that show up every game. I will somewhat agree with the quitter who won't come back, the legroom is ATROCIOUS. I went and sat in the upper seats during the open house/preview and they had way more leg room. Coach on AA has more legroom.

It won't keep me from going to games or even renewing the same seats next year, but it is a very uncomfortable 2.5hours, especially when you're packed in next to full grown men (yes, my area is actually well attended)
