huh? Every non GA seat in the Ferrell was sold as a season ticket b4 the season began and thousands of GA were too. Most of those seats you see empty in your pic are due to people simply not showing up.TellMeYouLoveMe said:

they should because all fans should be showing up when they canGriz said:
Here's the awesome thing, but it's the same for every sport.....the BMD's will have the primo seats. You think they are showing up for a Tuesday night game against Texas Southern?
there will be 10 or fewer rows for students behind the benches. Rest will be on one end behind the base line. Other side of the court will be BMDs as well as those directly behind the 10 or so rows of students plus court side seats. Seating will be closer to court but a lot of the best seats will still be owned by the bigger donors.Stefano DiMera said:

Hope they got the gar insurance premium current.gobears20 said:

A lot will depend on how much drop there is from the bottom row of the permanent seats to the top row of the student seats below. One good thing about Moody Coliseum, even when it was originally built in the mid 1950s, was that you could stand on the top row of the courtside bleachers behind the benches (which were student seats when I was in grad school there in the mid-80s) and still not block the view of the seats behind you. If Foster has a similar setup, it should be ok. If not, it's a bad design. Here's a comparison:T-REX said:there will be 10 or fewer rows for students behind the benches.

What I really fear is those who buy the seats behind the students constantly *****ing and moaning about then all standing. They better not for 1 second tell students to sit down.
makes me almost want to not take my last mba course in March and save it until January of next year just to sit in Foster as a student lolwhitetrash said:A lot will depend on how much drop there is from the bottom row of the permanent seats to the top row of the student seats below.

Foster will be very likely sold out 100% to season ticket holders minus the 500 standing room seats which I assume will be GA
Yep, the architect can make or break it. Not unlike the vaunted NCAA trying to hold a tournament game in Dickie's arena in Fort Worth. Wrong layout altogether and a terrible venue. But it's the NCAA, so big surprise. Can't imagine what went into an arena that's mostly going to fit the Rodeo market.whitetrash said:A lot will depend on how much drop there is from the bottom row of the permanent seats to the top row of the student seats below.

They're no shows. At a conference game. I understand well how it works, but it's still a half empty arena.
that's all it is. It's a scheme where they get the tax free dollars through the BBF , then sell a seat at a presumably discounted price because said buyer gave to the Baylor Bear Foundation.
The concept sounds great on paper.
Problem is, you still need butts in the seats and worse yet, you're not selling your ticket to someone that loves basketball, you're selling it to a football donor who might only go to 2-3 games of men's basketball. Nothing against football folks, but I like basketball. I don't want to buy football tickets and I won't pay for a ticket that's bumped because a football donor can't show up.
Prices act as signals, if you want people to attend, give them a reason.
Put..people...in...the seats.
dickies is an amazing venue and there were absolutely zero bad seats in there. better seating than most dedicated arenasTellMeYouLoveMe said:Yep, the architect can make or break it.

Arenas are changing because of technology. If your sight line is bad, you start to wonder why you aren't watching on a big screen with food nearby. If you are live at a lot of SEC games, the upper deck is either half empty or empties out after the first quarter. Upper deck seats with no shade in a sun belt state? Only at a night game.
