Trying to get in the West gate 20 minutes before gametime is just as congested as anywhere else. There's been some times that its been quite a wait to get in there.

The West gate was A MESS at the UNI game. I've never seen any of the gates as bad as that one was for that game.

Usually overflow trying to enter on the Norwest gate will walk around to the West so there are always plenty there.

And 98% of the vomit!

(yes, when I was a student I contributed to that statistic a couple of times)

Seeing how Achy Brakey Heart is our theme song, this is quite fitting.

Not having to bake in the sun is definitely the best thing about the West side. Of course the new concessions and restrooms will just add to that appeal now.

West side.

Thumbing our noses at the east side since...well...forever.

Rogue52 · 04-10-2008, 12:14 PM

From my vantage point, most of the west side spends 98% of games sitting on their ***. The new concessions are designed to try to get them out of their seats every once in awhile...

Another vote for the South Side!

ISUFan22 · 04-10-2008, 12:16 PM

It's not our fault we're sober enough to know the bleachers are seats and not receptacles for vomit...

East side pride, section 24. We have the Club section, student section, and lets not forget the almighty Cyclone team sideline(Trumps any arguement left). The lame West side has the opposing team and their fans, by default the West Side is enemy territory, might as well be Little Lincoln or Iowa City cell block W.

Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer. :)

I can't believe that no one is talking about the loss of the hill on the west side! I spent many a halftime sliding down that hill and playing catch. Looks like that won't be possible with the new wall. Man, I even chipped a tooth once climbing back up the hill when Danny Hunziker ran into me!

What row in section 24?

clones26 · 04-10-2008, 01:48 PM

The last row so we can stand the whole game and not get yelled at by the old donors behind us.

The east side has "The Big O." And yes, of course I sit there.
