Anybody ever watched a game from up there in one of these?
What's it like? HOw do you get up there? DO you have a fully stocked bar? Is there a dude in the men's room that turns the sink on for you after you piss and then hands you a towel when you're done washing your hands like in fancy strip clubs?
Cracker...or anyone, Break it down for us peasants, please.

I sat in one once. We were playing Tech; it was about 37 degrees and pissing rain and I was lucky enough to get an invite. I sat in one on the North side of the stadium so part of it was outside and part of it was inside. There were dessert trays, party platters etc. There was a fully stocked bar, although I think the owners supplied their own booze? Thing that surprised me the most: How easy it was to get up there.

You have to pay $16,500 per suite per game. They hold about 30 people and they have a full bar and each one has a private restroom and 2 flat screen tv's.
And no, as an ambassador for UGA football, I never had to turn the sink after someone took a piss.
A catering company (Proof of the Pudding out of ATL) provides top notch food for all guests, and there is a really nice dessert bar in the lobby of the 4th and 5th floors. Of course, the catering is optional but pretty much everyone orders it. Why host a football party without great food? Then you'll look cheap as hell. And I would help stock the suites the Fridays before gameday and I got to meet a bunch of the suiteholders and helped them stock their bars with liquor and beer. It was a pretty suite job

The best part of the job last season was meeting Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks; also getting to hold Sinkwich's Heisman Trophy that was kept in one of the suites on the 5th floor. His son keeps it locked up.

I sat in one of the coaches suites back in 2002, but I don't think it was one like this. It had food and tvs.

Depends on who you are with. Having the glass in front really takes away from the feel of the game. It isn't bad but just not the same as being out in the crowd. Suites for pro football and baseball or even concerts I enjoy but not college football. That said, the people I typically sat with up there don't want to be in the crowd or have something to prove. So, you aren't missing much.

The Champions level is different than the Sky Suites. The Champions is on the North side of the stadium, whereas the SkySuites and Sky Club levels are on the South side of the stadium.

It belong to CMR. So wherever his box was at the time.
Definitely takes away from the whole game experience.

Ive been to two different ones at Sanford, so not sure which is which. IMO suites suck, only good thing is AC and liquor. One of the suites was much better than the other. Both owned by the same guy.

Been there, done that (years ago). There are a set of elevators on the south side of the stadium. Each suite has different food depending on what the payers order. I don't recall a full bar, but a I could be wrong. They do generally stock a good bit of beer. Also, I don't recall a bathroom attendant, but that may have changed, too.

These actually have seating set outside, just in front of the glass. In my opinion, these would be the way to go as you get the best of both worlds.

Been to games for 23 years, more than one a year if not the whole season usually, and not once have I ever even gotten close to sniffing the boxes except for getting to go up with recruits to eat at halftime. Otherwise, nadda.
Have gotten to sit in a Jags box for work and Falcons box a few times cause of good friends but never jawja. Or the Bravos for that matter. How's the Braves club like?

As is the sky club, but the sky club gets shitty food (i.e. popcorn and hot pretzels)

Is that the one that the student section kinda borders? I remember for FAU last year I was standing up in the back bleachers watching UF/UT on their club TVs and they kept bringing us pretzels and shite because they thought we were funny.

The Sky Club is the 3rd floor just underneath the SkySuites on the South side. They have an indoor lobby area that wraps around but the seating is outside.

Yeah, I believe this to be true. You can always go to the GSEF box and get pineapple sammiches, though!
I've been in every box in the place thanks to working with UGA Catering as a student. That was when they had the contracts for all the food, which they haven't in a long time now. I'm sure POTP is MUCH better.

Anyone who enjoys this experience is a complete and utter psychopath. The whole process is so fricking weird, and I always feel terrible for the towel guy and wonder how much his life must suck if this is the best job he can find.
And then I leave the room to see a beautiful pair of sweater puppies and am immediately reminded that the world is indeed a wonderful place.
