Willy B was literally shaking that night. All of the fans jumping up and down to Sandstorm, even the commentators said the press box was shaking. Like they say, "If it ain't swayin', we aren't playin'."

I havne't seen it done to the degree Auburn does, what I mean is the effort to do everythign possible to keep as few grouping of visitors together as they can.
Again, how is this different than anyone else? That is honestly one of the more generous visitor sections as far as lower bowls seating goes.
For reference:
(LSU fans, I know this is pre-stadium expansion. Wasn't able to find one after it)
Maybe you just haven't looked at how UGA does it recently?
ETA: Apparently Tennessee is the only school that likes letting their fans know where their sections are for away games

yes a little at the oxen crossing. Some dude stalked us to our car. He tried to jump in front of us leaving too. Our driver was packing heat so I wasn't too concerned, but it was uncomfortable. I been to that craphole before and never unsafe but i haven't been back

Bama probably has the single biggest grouping together. The problem is you are so far up, it doesn't really matter, nobody can hear you anyways .

Look at the diagrams you posted.
AU has 32 upper deck sections..only 2 of them are fully alloted for visitors. In the lower level you have one full section (36) for visitors. Aside from the 3 aforementioned sections, the remaining ~8K visiting seats are spread out here and there amongst AU fans. I'm not saying it's wrong, I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying I haven't seen others do it to that extent.
Look at the other diagrams you posted. Bama gives that entire north upper deck to visitors. MSU gives about half of the west upper deck to visitors together. LSU has 4 large lowers and 3 upper levels for visitors (among others). UGA gives the entire 600 level north uppers to visitors.

Clearly they don't, unless UT is lying about their sections. UGA's visitor sections are a total joke. Talk about spreading fans out. UGA gives one full section and then 3.5 tiny sections in the 300's for visitors (I'm calling 301 1/2 a section since it is so small). They don't have a complete other section and don't have a single section anywhere near as big as any of the AU sections.

Then you aren't looking at the diagrams I posted. Every single one of them does it besides Bama. If you have never sat in those seats bama puts you in, you won't realize why the do that. You cannot be heard up there.
How many seats are in MSU's upper deck sections?
LSU is probably the most generous lower bowl. AU is probably second.
So again, AU is doing nothing different than anyone else, you are just blinded by your continual bias.

Uh yeah, they do. And to your reponse of "well I see UGA fans sitting up there", whenever visiting teams don't sell their full allotment and return tickets, they go on sale to the general public, where UGA fans by them.

we literally give the entire north upper deck to visitors, to go along with a small bit of 300s and a small bit of 100s.

I looked at each one before I typed about them. What do you refute about them? LSU/Bama/MSU (the ones you posted) all have multiple sections that are entirely for visitors. Auburn essentially has 3; 2 upper and 1 lower, that are entirely visitors. The rest of the visitors are mixed in with home fans to varying degrees.

no clue, and it's irrelevant to the discussion.

I'm not biased at all and my feelings towards AU have nothing to do with it. I was simply passing along an observation. It's nothing to get so defensive about.

Where did I give this response?
I'm going off of what Tennessee gave their fans as to their allowed sections.

Well that is different than what Tennessee had so I guess it changed.
. How many seats are in the 600 sections? How many of the 600 sections does it take to fill up one of our upper deck sections? quote:

Well, for starters, I said Bama had the largest single grouping. So, thank you for restating a point I already made. The LSU lower bowl sections given and the Auburn ones given are similar in capacity. The only real difference there is the upper deck. So, in your opinion, having large blocks thoughout is much worse than having one large block of sections and then a very thin line of fans being isolated?
quote:

It is really not. You are completely hung up on "total sections given", but you think it is irrelevant to discuss the total number of fans seated together, regardless of if it is an entire section? Silly.

Well, you are saying right here that Auburn is doing it much worse than everyone else. That is your bias. Every team does it. You acting like Auburn is doing something egregiously worse than anyone else is just laughable.

-Had an OM fan spit on a girl in our group and before we could find out who it was, other OM fans that saw it happen were already on his arse about it. After beating them they started yelling that theyve never lost a party.

I was going to refute your points until I got to this part at the end:
you're not even worth conversing with on the topic anymore.

FWIW SEC rules state that you have to give a minimum of 1500 visitor Tix in lower bowl of away games regardless of stadium or ttl Tix allowed.
If a school travels with band that eats into the 1500 ttl.
Some school's who play yearly may give more if it's negotiated but 1500 lower level is usually the norm...

I guess as a State fan I have no room to talk about annoying stadium noises, although I haven't carried a cowbell to a game in years.

Yep. I think AU/AL have a little more allocated in the lower bowls than normal. THe two sections above 35 in AU's map are usually filled by Bama (though that could just be after market sales or something).

I have defended it, you then ignore the main point and go on tangents (as if the number of rows in davis wade upper decks is relevant to the discussion) and accuse me of accusing auburn of something nefarious which I haven't done.

I used the word egregious. Which you have been doing. You have claimed twice now that Auburn is doing something a magnitude worse than everyone else in the SEC.
quote:

I don't understand how you can't see that the total number of fans sitting together in one block is relevant to this discussion.
quote:

The main point that Auburn doesn't give as many total sections? Well you continue to disregard my question about total seats in those sections. If section 114 in JHS is the equivalent to say 2 sections in another stadium due to differences in design, the fact that Auburn is only giving 1 section to the other stadium's 2 sections is very relevant.
Technically Auburn only gives about 2/3 of section 34 to visiting fans, but that is in actuality a section to itself, but Auburn labels its sections differently in the lower bowl than most.

And right here
Am I not supposed to take those two as arguments about other stadiums giving entire sections vs Auburn not doing that?

Is the point you dolt, not number "total number" of sections. As in...most schools have entire sections full of visiting fans, whereas AU intermingles the visiting fans among AU fans.
Why are you so difficult
