Just posted this in the Leaving early thread, but now realized I was too lazy to see this thread first...
We chose to keep the seats that we have had for many years and increased our donation, but noticed many new faces around us when we arrived at the game last night. No problem at first with our new neighbors until once the game started and we were doing our part in cheering on our beloved Cyclones. We heard a voice from behind us yell "Everybody sits, everybody sees, it's the Drake Relays policy!!!" Drake Freakin Relays? How does anyone compare ISU football to the Relays?
I'm not sure that having 44K people in JTS from the opening kickoff to the final play is enough. What we really need is fans who want to be part of something bigger and wnat to make the gameday atmosphere at JTS something that others envy and if you want to SIT and watch a football game, you have 2 choices. 1) Stay home with your remote in hand so you only have to yell at your dog for being an obstacle to your observation(and not participation) in a football game 2) Pony up and buy a suite at JTS so that you can SIT there and watch the game without anyone in front of you standing up to block your view!
Go State and Go home fans who don't want to stand!!!
