	Report Comment snoop, (9/4/2008 8:28:38 AM) what's holder smoking? If He thinks the best seats are in the end zone why doesn't he move he buddy boone there. is this some jedi mind trick? telline the students that the endzone is the best seat is crazy
	Report Comment Pokes28, Carl Junction (9/4/2008 9:25:51 AM) The West end zone seats may in fact be the best seats in the house (not counting club/luxury boxes) this year. They are the widest (18" versus 14"), they also have a curved seat which is more comfortable. As he mentioned, you can watch the game and view the video board at the same time which is nice. Having the band right there is also a major plus. It isn't that far fetched that the people in that part of the stadium will have more fun and a better experience than the rest of us. Now as for viewing football, that is always debatable. There are some that would rather be close to the end zones and some would like to be at the 50. It is all personal opinion. The seats I moved to this year (great seats on the 30 yard line, 14 rows up) were vacated by somebody that wanted to sit elsewhere.
	Report Comment snoop, (9/4/2008 11:50:39 AM) Pokes28 My point was that Holder was moving the students to the end zone was no to their benefit. The students deserve great seats in the north section. It is not right to move into worse seats. My guess is that the students would think any seat from the 40 to the 40 would be better seats than end zone seats. I know you do as you consider 30 yard line seats GREAT. And you had the option for end zone seats
	Report Comment OutPickMyNose, (9/4/2008 1:05:36 PM) The students are getting a cheap season ticket price, combined with the fact that the seats are still not bad at all anyway. I don't see your point snoop. Most students I have talked to are not upset about the move. It also helps give those alumni who pay much more then $150 dollars the option of getting better seats. What, did the students suddenly become more important then the alumni who shelve out thousands to get seats? I doubt it. When I went to the games there, we were near the top of the stadium anyway, I would rather move over near the west end zone and have a lower seat.

	Report Comment OSUArthur, Fayetteville (9/4/2008 1:38:59 PM) Just to give some perspective: Last season Arkansas was most likely better than OSU during the regular season. At least they were comparable. Student tickets at U of A cost $1 per game. That means this year's student tickets would have cost OSU students $7. Also, Arkansas gave students comparable seats. Even if the students arrived early they didn't get anything between the 40 yard lines and usually had to sit very high in the stands. Point is if OSU was closer to OU in quality it would draw more people from the state and student tickets would be available at cheaper rates because alums and fans would be buying more season tickets. That said: Go Pokes! and let's actually win some games to put people in those seats.
	Report Comment JED, Tulsa (9/4/2008 3:58:40 PM) Hmmm, 36,000 OSU season ticket holders plus the 5,000 allotted to OU equals 41,000 for Bedlam in a 60,000 seat stadium. Impressive...
	Report Comment driftwood, tulsa (9/4/2008 4:42:44 PM) what a guy...putting the students in the endzone. on the other hand, it's a really nice endzone. nicest in the big xii.
	Report Comment ancel, (9/5/2008 8:17:48 AM) I can't afford to buy season tickets, and if I could, I couldn't afford to travel to Stillwater that many times. However, I do like to go to as many games a year as I can. I'm beginning to think that Holder is a sorry SOB. What can only the rich alumni go to bedlam? You have to pay season ticket prices to go to one game? Everyone knows that he panders to the rich alums, but what used to be one of the things I liked best about OSU, is that the cowboys used to not be eletist jerks like ou. In the old days everyone was treated the same, it didn't matter if you were wealthy and flew in from Houston for every game, or if you had to save and scrimp to be able to go to one game to see your beloved cowboys. Oh well, I guess poor alumni like me just don't count anymore. Holder, you suck.
	Report Comment T Bone, (9/5/2008 12:50:14 PM) Anymore than the 5000 seats allocated to UO's best Alumni and Students would stink up the place. The number seems adequate, even if we only have 55,000 for Bedlam. UO Students and Alumni should be appreciative that OSU allows them to come into this great stadium. Believe that is what the Big12 requires each team to furnish to visitors.
