I just want to know how many students jumped the railing to get beers, we have people do it in section 19 so I can’t imagine what it’s like now
We sat on the rail since they redid the south endzone and they guard the rail like Fort Knox, there was always plenty of ushers, just watching to make sure that no one jumped over the rail or was passing drinks over to the other side. If they thought it was occurring, a cop or two was in the section within a minute or two, questioning the people.

Our seats were in the top of the lower part of section 19, row 21, and we never saw anyone successfully jump the rail and go get a beer.

Having them over in the corner we felt took away from how they did such a great job all the other years being on the end keeping things going and being more active . We were in their old section today and it just seem like they were more quite or we couldn’t hear them all that well.
That don't have the band close now. I think that played a part. I almost think that they should have put them in the North West corner by the band and the good guys team. Just my thought.

Row 14 here, I’ve seen people do it successfully a couple times, but yeah more often than not it gets shut down

SEZ here. We loved it. We now have the cheerleaders right in front and the extra noise added to the excitement. My area in the endzone is kind of a rowdy bunch to begin with. The fence was like 6 feet high with glass in between.

Duh!
Partly that, but also partly because of the visiting team running through students if the field is stormed.
Exactly, there were clearly new protocals. They put up fencing, at the end of the game, and had security lined up at the corner where the students were, as well.

I miss the interaction between the students, band, dance team, and cheerleaders. Much better when they were in the NE corner.
This is all fair. I enjoyed having them closer to us, but it did take away.

We slide from the east side of the South endzone to the west side. Our new seats aren't bad, but I preferred being on the east side. We are 7 rows closer to the field and it kills depth perception when teams are driving towards the North endzone.
I guess we will have to live with the switch, but I still cannot figure out why Jami wanted to do the switch.
It was explained, so that students storming the field wouldn’t interact with the leaving, visiting team. There were clearly new post games protocols.
