I've got to ask again, have you sat right behind the basket and liked it?
Yes. My enjoyment of the game (football or basketball) is usually independent of where I'm sitting.

Okay, then I'll shut up. I went to at least 98% of the basketball games (including exhibition, etc.) while I was a student, and sat anywhere from five rows from the bottom to the very top, and loved it all because nothing ever obstructed my view. Then on other occassions, I've had to sit about 15 rows up, right at the same level as the backboard, and I personally enjoyed it less.

Wish I could have seats again. The only bball game I have gone to since I graduated was the Wooden classic BYU-UCLA.

I have, that's where our season tickets were. I never had a problem with the seats.

Agree to disagree. The students aren't really getting the shaft. They're still getting great seats for a great price. They'll still be able to make noise and yell and scream. I honestly don't get what all the brouhaha is about.

If you don't think collegiate athletics (specifically football and men's basketball) aren't money-making endeavors like a corporation or pro sports team, then you haven't been paying much attention to the world of collegiate athletics in the last 20 years.

Doesn't mean I have to like it

So which do the students want? To watch the game or make noise to effect the game (free throws, etc.)? Seems to me the students are really upset that they no longer have the best seats in the house for next to nothing.

I think we've made it clear what we want. Plus, it's not like we weren't making noise where we were sitting before. I've heard plenty of times that the MC compares favorably in noise and atmosphere to other top notch CBB venues. I have my doubts as to how much the added noise/motion behind the basket really effects opposing players free throws

And why do people keep making a big deal about students getting prime seating for cheap? Is this not a university? What is a university without the students? Is it so horrible to get a little miffed when I get shafted in the name of the almighty dollar? This isn't some corporation or pro-sports organization. It's a school.
