I expect the FTAB to make 5 road trips at a minimum. I would think they could at least hit all divisional road games and a few others.

That would be cool.

I remember as a kid that the Aggies and Longhorn bands would always come to Fayetteville. No SEC bands have ever come that I remember. Pep bands, but no full bands.

To be honest, I think the FTAB has a traveling group that is probably 100 members smaller than home games. Not sure. Some BQ needs to chime in on that.

Anyway, the FTAB is unique and fun to watch. It's a change of pace from the normal "show band" style that most colleges put on. Halftime becomes a show instead of a chance to go pee and get a hotdog.

I know they axed my season tix to make room for all you sonsofbitches. RIP section 507. Great seats to watch a game, though.

I know we had to add a few because the SEC allotments were larger than the Big 12s but I didn't realize that section 143 had gone to visitors ... that is crap if true those were the "Young Alumni" sections and were probably some of the best season ticket holders we had.

As far as location ... I have no probably putting visitors in the boonies.

Im not so sure how brotherly the SEC is. Georgia used to put visitors in a good section of the lower bowl on the north stands. Now visitors are relegated to the upper deck almost entirely. Bama I think does the same. Keeps the enemy noise down.


not true, that lower section still remains

I assume you took the full band to JerryWorld the past three seasons.

I'd be happy if Arkansas and A&M took bands to each others' stadiums. I'm pretty sure Arkansas never sends the band anywhere in SEC play, either.

Right now I think Ole Miss and Bama are the only conference game trips planned for the band. Upperclassmen only to Bama. LSU will probably be a regular trip in odd years.

The red section on the left and the empty section on the right.


100 and 149 I think.

Absolutely terrible seats. Have fun looking into bleachers and maybe a little into the endzone.

If you can grab seats elsewhere in the stadium you will be warmly welcomed. Since i don't have season tickets this year, i will be in the same boat.

Post renovation will HAVE TO be better for the visitors.

Meh. The Former Students give up enough to maintain the 12th Man. If other fan bases had less good seating as well, maybe I would sympathize, but I honestly don't.

Guess it will depend on the new digs. They can't get worse.

It's the sacrifice we make to provide a student section of 30k.

Sorry.

Do yourself a favor and buy tix from StubHub or TicketCity to get a half decent seat. The official visitor sections are complete shite.
