I upgraded my seats yesterday to section 131 row 9 which were pretty damned close at around the 35 to 40 yardline. Face value on these seats was approx. 95.00... I must say I will take my 25.00 seats over those anyday of the week and will never upgrade that low again. Too low to the field and hard to see whats going on when they are to far right and left you cant see anything really develop.

It was unbelievably hot down there and everyone in my party and around me agreed. The air must circulate better up top because its like night and day. The acoustics for the game announcer are not good anywhere. But down there the guy was completely impossible to understand. Way to jumbled. You would think after all of this time they could get the sound right in that place. I dont understand it during halftime concerts and game announcing its terrible. Yet during the National Anthem no matter who sings its perfect. Why dont they keep the speakers on those settings for everyhting is beyond me?

Oh yea and we lost so the expense was even more unbearable :)

I have my "core" seats since the stadium opened (Section 102, Rows 11 & 12). I used to have a few other seats in Section 104, Row 21). The seats in Section 104 were far superior. The views were 100x better. The air conditioning was felt more there and yes, even the audio sounded better...
I gave up those seats and stuck with the seats in Section 102 only because of my kids. These seats are right where the Cards enter and exit the stadium, and my kids love getting the high 5's and the gloves from the players... But if it were up to me (and you think it would be since I pay fro the damn tix... :bang:), I would much prefer to have stayed with my seats in Section 104! Oh well...

Come up to my section. 445 Row 3. Killer view. You can see everything develop and even see the on the field play clock not reset twice on the cardinals and count down to zero on the 49ers three times.

Fiasco good point I had seen the clock expire on them multiple times with NO whistle and was like wtf? Whatever the game is over now but it was irritating watching all the penalties on the Cards and to see them get away with that many times throughout the game!

Vegas, baby, yeah!
Best seats I've had in UoP were Ring of Honor, Sec. 455 Row A. Could see everything.

MESA! :thud:
I noticed that it was hotter yesterday than usual in there. I also heard that the Cards turned the a/c on a half hour later than usual to be 'greener'. Don't know if that was part of the problem or not.

it doesnt expire until it's past 0. So 0 is still a valid place to start a play.

Agreed, but if you can move back past row about 35 the view is great. We are in the back row of sect 110 and the view is about perfect. I checked out the sightlines on the open day before we picked seats. However some folks like it down there but I agree with you

Acoustics are fine where we sit

The whole place was hot yesterday.

Nuh-uh. At 0 that means you have that much time left. If they snap the ball as the clock hits 0 no ref in the world will call it, but if the clock hits 0 and the ball hasn't been snapped that is a delay of game.
