    When attendance is going down, this is a great idea by admin if it works. Guess we'll see if there is a market. If we don't fill them up, we'll draw attention to a dumb idea on every TV broadcast. If it works it will look cool.

    Have said before, win and there isn't a ticket or seating shortfall. But all college sports are seeing a decrease so like that we are aggressive.

    If you have to reduce seating anyway, this is a good option IMO.

    Winning is the fix to the seating problem.

    I like idea. However where are the fans that will purchase this? In the past, if fans occupied this area, it was visitors or a big game with reduced prices.

    Maybe this appeals to this who are tired of the bleachers. However a $2700 donation? Good luck.

    Split between 10 people that's nothing. It means your season ticket is $525 but you can offset that by bringing your own food and drink. If you just brought your own tall boys to every game you would break even.

    Y'all are way more social than me. I might know 10 State fans. I certainly don't know 10 that go to games. Ha.

    But I've always liked that view from the first few rows.

    Even when we win pretty big those two sections are basically give away seats - especially after NEZ expansion.

    The back side of each section has an overhang for shade. And the West side is in the shade for games that aren't 11am kickoff.

    Kudos to Cohen for fighting for us to have late evening/night games in Sept.

    If these balconies work I wonder if they plan to "add more" and just basically make the entire upper deck balconies and move those people that have season tickets either to the East side upper deck or down to the East or West side?

    Our fans need to stop caring about baseball so much first, for that to happen...
