I have a feeling those are going to be pretty underwhelming for the majority of MSU's fan base.

Yep. Those are going to be some pretty craptastic seats. Not a seat you want to actually watch the game.

Does a seat there go with access to the 2nd floor Lounge of the Seal Bldg, if so those would be really sweet and not craptastic.

I get what you're saying but it still feels like the stands in the prom scene of Sixteen Candles. You really don't want to be seen there.

 

[MaroonNation]

Could it not be something to do with practice like a camera platform?

Looks like the Black Bear end zone seats. I agree w/ the majority here, no way I would want to sit there. Any action past the 30 yd line or so will look terrible from there. I've been in the end zone club too and didn't like that view at all either, too many distractions walking back and forth in front of you. That said my wife loved it, although she stayed inside 90% of the time. If that's your kind of thing they are great, if you want to see the game w/ a good perspective it's not

I'm not sure why everyone cares so much. That endzone, with our M Club which hasn't aged well, already looks craptastic with our "pink shaded maroon pop up tunnel" anyways. At least this is something fresh for now and takes the focus off of the worst club house, in-stadium locker room in the SEC. I keep seeing the same post, "The view of the field will be terrible....I'd never pay for those....yadayada". Again, who cares. I feel confident that these seats are mostly sold out for the season or else we wouldn't have put them up. Clearly, somebody out there wanted these terrible seats. I'm all for whatever brings in more $$$ and creates more of a home field advantage (even as miniscule as an advantage as it will be). Football can't get here soon enough.

Because they look like **** maybe?

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Just move the rigs from DNF and put in South Endzone .... would look about the same

 

[BertleTheTurtle]

So your stance is, don't add any additional seating to the South Endzone unless it's a $80+MM renovation to add permanent seating?

 

[The Peeper]

No, my stance is don't add aluminum seating w/ a striped tarp on top that makes it look like the circus is in town

 

[BertleTheTurtle]

Maybe you haven't actually seen the picture....the canvas covering the South Loge seating is white. But whatever. Again, it just sounds like we're bitching because we've added temporary seating. It's either something like this, metal bleachers, or nothing at all. Like I said, the general stance seems to be, unless we tear down the M Club and spend $80MM+ to add another stadium expansion, people don't want to touch that area. My stance is that this actually improves an already terrible looking area of our field. The M Club has aged terribly, and adding these seats at least somewhat covers that up and takes attention away from our aging facilities. Also, the seats are sold out, meaning the university made some damn good money off of these. I'm all for us doing whatever we can to make as much money as we can. But please, ***** more about seats that you won't be sitting in or paying for.
