Stadium seats...

[Resolved]

Has anyone received the email or info about renting the stadium seats that keep the fat asses next to you from encroaching on your territory? Anyone?...Anyone?...

I emailed SS about this last year. Surprisingly he emailed me back within a couple hours. I can't remember exactly what was said, but it was mildly positive response. I think it was something like "we are aware of the issue and are looking into it". Bringing those oversized stadium seats into the stadium is a shitass thing to do. They take up about 4 inches more than the allotted *** width. Hell, the ones with builtin arm rests are even wider. You get 2 inconsiderate blue hairs sitting in them right next to each other and your entire row 17ed. This is one of the reasons why I sprung for the seatbacks.

I told SS that they need to be prohibited. Force people to rent the seatbacks and make some more money.

I concur. They need to be prohibited. Also if you weight 400 pounds, buy two tickets. At the OT game with Arkansas a few years ago, this lady that had to weigh 400 pounds sat next to us. The entire game, either my wife or I had to stand and the other had to sit sideways to fit in our seats. The lady just played on facebook the entire game, probably because I was forced to stand and I blocked her view of everything on the other side of the field. I mentioned this on Gene's Page after the game and got blasted for calling out an extremely fat person. Its not my fault she really required 3 seats but only bought 1.

You can order them through your dog tag login. I finally broke down and got them last year but be advised the company that does them sucks. They were not there the first 2 games and I got no response from the company. I finally contacted Natalie at the bulldog club and they were there for the next game. They are certainly with it though.

I've had them for several years. Never had a problem. I was excited he had new ones last year.

I think I've deleted the e-mail, but from what I recall... they're still $45 per seat for another few weeks, and then they'll jump up to $60 by the time the season starts. If you're looking for contact info and no one else has it, a flyer should be coming with your season tickets.

Oh, and as others have mentioned, they're worth every penny if you're planning on making most of the games this season.

Prices went from $45 to $50 on July 31. Get bumped up to $60 on August 20.

Had a similar experience one time. Had a poor guy sitting in our seats and when we pointed it out, his (I guess) wife got loud and defensive talking about how they were sitting in their seats, not ours. Of course it turns out they had basically the last 6 seats in the row, and it was I assume this poor guy and his really fat wife, and his really fat inlaws, so they needed about 8 seats to hold the six of them, and even squeezed together couldn't take up less than 7. Luckily for us they were considerate and one of them basically ended up sitting in the aisle to keep them within their seats, but had they not had aisle seats, it would have made the game pretty damn uncomfortable for that entire row.

There's no easy way to handle it, but ideally you can get the cushioned seats and end up next to somebody that doesn't buy them. There's not really any way for them to encroach on your seat then. I assume if everybody gets the cushioned seats you end up with the same situation, where people just spill over their seat.

They would be a bargain at twice the price.

No. By design, the rented seatbacks fit the space perfectly. They are only 12 inches or so wide. The problem the OP is presenting are the people bringing in their own stadium seats that are 3-4 inches wider than your allotted *** room. You get 2 of these sitting next to each other on your row, you're 17ed. They end up taking up 2.5 spaces. It's a huge problem problem. You could pull it off during the Croom Error, but not when the stadium is packed.

I was responding to the part of archdog's post about not being able to fit into his seat because the lady next to him had to weigh 400 lbs. I've never had to deal with the oversized stadium seats, but that's a pretty easy problem to solve. You might get a few people bitching about not being able to use the stadium seats they already paid for and/or like, but that won't be that big of a deal. It's a lot harder to tell people our stadium has a capacity of 58,000 normal people, but only a capacity of 43,500 fat people like you, so you'll need to buy 2 tickets.

Need what airports use to measure carry-ons. "If you can't fit in this model ...

seat, you must buy an extra seat."
