Visitor Section moves
- Thread starter DBQR4CY
- Start date
Looks like those of us in the SE corner upper deck may have to look over the lower level visitor's section . . . and band! Boo.
Yes. My current seats in row 3 are now right next to the visitor's section...meaning all I will hear is Panther and Hawkeye fans and the bands...unless I pick my other seats which got moved from row 5 in the new visitors section to row 25 on the other side of the stadium.
A lose/lose for me...
Obligatory...
Two years ago, the OU band marched past our tailgate, so I asked the guy who was leading a question. "Are you guys going to play Boomer Sooner today?" He said, "No, we never play it on the road!"
OU and UT seem to always bring bands. KSU might some years too, but they usually have enough fans that they don't need the band.
We've been in section 2 for years and get the band, pom squad, and now the home team on our side along with all the people they put on the jumbo trons during breaks. Plus move the visitors section, life is good. With the acoustics at Jack Trice, we don't really hear the visiting bands as much. Hope that doesn't change with the move to the east side.
It will be even worse next year because boomer sooner will be coming in my ears instead of just imprinted on my brain.
I know the game is in Norman this year. I was in Norman for the game two years ago, so I know.
Visitors section gets moved ----> Play Boomer Sooner
Yep. This is why it's important that we beat the stuffing out of them so they're quiet.
K-State's full band only travels to Ku. Ku sends theirs to MHK. Our pep band has been at TCU and Nebraska, when I traveled there on a couple occasions.
ISU's band visited several years ago. Nubs always brought theirs to MHK. aTm brought theirs once that I recall. The rest have been pep variety, if any.
A 400 member band costs a ton to travel, particularly if post season is involved for that school. $25,000 plus for tickets alone. Maybe $100,000 for overnight? Not a small number.

The visitors' sections should have been decentralized a long time ago. Don't let them amass. Sitting in 27, the roar from that side would almost overtake ISU cheers. Maybe it was a ploy to sell steel-plated nutcups, but I'm all for this change even with the inconvenience of switching sections. I'd love to see it as one section in the nosebleeds.
So I am going to the game with a group of my friends that went to UNI. My buddies got tickets through UNI and a long time major donor to UNI. They were told that there didn't appear to be tickets at all in the lower level through UNI. Maybe they just weren't able to get them, or maybe the whole lower section will be band. Not sure.
This is what I think too. They should not have a full section. They should have a strip of 10 rows along the top of a corner (or however many to give them the right number of seats) across multiple sections. Other schools already do something like this.
