[QUOTE="Giovanni, post: 1169934, member: 2979"] First a correction: Sections 114 [B]and[/B] 13 (extreme end of Krush floor seating) are the visitors' seating areas. As y'all saw today, WCU didn't bring enough fans and 114 sat empty. A problem that UI ticket peeps should be addressing soon (per twitter convo between ALionEye and Jason Heggemeyer). I believe it's pretty much an NCAA rule to have opponent family/fans seating directly behind their bench. I imagine there's a minimum number (behind bench & total) as some schools have gotten away with a couple of rows behind the bench and the rest in nosebleeds. Maybe those numbers have changed recently cuz that looks like a lot of prime seats for opponents in the SFC. Got a different view of the band today (on TV) than Wednesday (in the arena). I don't know if the number of band members is the same as before or not (but seems like more?). Either way, it still looks odd to use only one row of permanent seats in the left-hand section above the drummer. And I still think they could all fit in the right-hand section if those seats weren't retracted, especially if they still used the 3 rows of permanent seats. *shrug* [/QUOTE]
