A lot of companies have groups of tickets in the SEZ that the people change out every game...have to educate them each game. Only gripe during the Texas game was the woman with the Texas clothes and a hok ball cap on...wtf? Guess she believes in using double negatives...
Yeah the seats in front of us are corporate, to the side and behind aren't.

Texas was my first game since UNI. I don't remember Juicy Wiggle getting played at the UNI game, but against Texas, when that song hit it was like a switch got flipped for the entire stadium. Coming back from the TV timeout, the place was pretty wild still. Glad JTS has found a cool song tradition that everyone can get behind and gets the place going.

Didn't score a touchdown in the second half against UNI therefore no Wiggle....

The company I work for has 4 end zone seats. I usually use them 3 times per season. The view isn't great, I generally don't like paying $9 for a beer, but it's hard to beat the price lol

Hopefully at some point they address the concessions. I know they can try to blame staffing this year on covid, but it has been going on for years now. It is impossible to leave at halftime and get anything at any of the concession stands before the halftime ends. If you add a restroom trip, you may be lucky to be back midway through the 3rd quarter.

Even if it isn't possible to improve the wait-time situation, at least I'd like to see a snaked-line setup. Especially bad with vendors on both sides of the walkway, it impedes traffic badly, if you're "walking somewhere" you have to cut through multiple lines, with traffic in both directions.

And get the damn condiment carts out of the way before the game ends.

I don't usually pay much attention to this but I don't remember any music in the 4th quarter.

The place was electric earlier in the half for juicy wiggle, then they played about 15 seconds of swag surfin that was quickly cut off by a kickoff. Other than that we had silence with a few band songs mixed in. The stadium felt much flatter than it should have given the circumstances. Felt like a missed opportunity with the score, night game, and great weather.

Edit: to be clear, I thought the crowd was great throughout the game, I'm specifically talking about the lack of music in the 4th quarter, not sure if that is normal.

I'm 95% sure the sound is Terrible because they put in the huge video board speakers before they bowled in the endzone. Now that the SEZ is complete, if they turn the volume up to the levels they were a few years ago, it will echo like crazy and sound absolutely terrible.

I sit with my kids on the hillside and the echo is REALLY noticable even on low volume. I think the speakers are probably awesome, but we just can use them to thier potential due to new stadium configuration. I think they should have probably installed lots of smaller speakers all around the stadium vs spurging on the monster speakers on the North Side of the field.

Hindsight is always 20/20 though...

The game was decided at that point. The beginning of the game and the 3rd quarter were electric. The rest of the game was a little flat. If the game had been close, the 4th quarter would've been fun. I don't get to go to a lot of games. That was the best crowd I've ever heard at JTS.

They're only $6. The view is a change of pace, I like seeing holes open up compared to being on the side. The real advantage is the inside when the weather sucks, i.e. SDSU a few years ago.

And when it's the slightest bit cold and the rest of us laugh at you all.

Just like we laughed at the hot tub people back in the day. I sat through s*** games outside from 1994 to 2015, I'm fine with being the butt of a joke after that.

Get Busch Light, it's not 9 bucks in the endzone club, I think only 6.
