Can those who have spent years watching Gamecock football please share your thoughts on this topic? Where and why?
& hey Buffalo Bills, we squib kicked it, pinned our Defense Ears back & closed out the game.This will be my 40th year on the West Ramp, we used to be on top level, then the high school kids figured it out so we had to go one level down. The irritating part is they aren’t really watching the game and are loitering at best. During a game last year a few of them were tossing crap at fans in the west lower. Security finally clears them out, and me and our crew got to reclaim the top Level as the rugrats were shoved back to the WB concourses . And Brig. Gen. Zebuliah Noland saved the Vandy Game.
my rules,
1a. Tailgate with friends & family whenever the opportunity is there (including WBB, BB, Softball & on occasion men’s basketball)
1. Don’t miss home games
2. Almost never leave early (I admit Bobby Bowden showed me my first early exit during my childhood).
Those would be really great seats. I had seats in that same section but about halfway up the upper deck and a little farther down the aisle - just left of the 50-yardline. Fine seats.I was lucky to have a friend who had the first row seats in section 305 (first row of the upper deck, on the West side). His seats were the first four seats, so we were on about the 47 yard line. It was kind of like having a big screen tv in front of you. You didn’t have to worry about anyone standing up in front of you. There was extra leg room in front of you and a rail you could hang your coat on etc.
You are hurting me shoe!!!& hey Buffalo Bills, we squib kicked it, pinned our Defense Ears back & closed out the game.
Coaching Decisions and basics matter
I have to watch the same super bowl you do.You are hurting me shoe!!!
The Zone and anything nicer than the Zone are almost too soft for football. Yep, I'm speaking from experience.The Zone or the suites. Out of the elements and access to amenities. You can barely beg someone to go with you to the Zone these days. If you ask them to sit in the sun they will flat refuse.
I could tell you a story of 40+ yrs, but it doesn’t really matter. Bottom line, you were thereCan those who have spent years watching Gamecock football please share your thoughts on this topic? Where and why?
“amenities”? I left them @ the tailgate!The Zone or the suites. Out of the elements and access to amenities. You can barely beg someone to go with you to the Zone these days. If you ask them to sit in the sun they will flat refuse.
1000% this, we used to sneak in mini bottles, but now we don't have too. Still better to pour a crown royal into a sprite, but as we get older our drinking keeps decreasing so, a beer in the first half followed by a water at halftime seems to have replaced the drinking“amenities”? I left them @ the tailgate!
Probably mine, but I’ve been there so long I wouldn’t know any better.
You’d have to ask @Wes Mitchell how they compare.
The only way I would leave them is if I was filthy rich and had a luxury box.
Is that a matter of increasing maturity or self-preservation?1000% this, we used to sneak in mini bottles, but now we don't have too.

a little of both. Same thing in Golf. Especially if we play 36.Is that a matter of increasing maturity or self-preservation?
I'll be doing some day trips to Santee this spring. My brother lives at Johns Island and he meets me and some of my friends there. It's a "dry" round, though.a little of both. Same thing in Golf. Especially if we play 36.
I will nurse a beer or 2 tops on the first back 9, and a legit lunch/snack between rounds. The second 18 (usually captn choice) we can be a little more liberal especially in Santee where there is no driving back, we literally drive by the condos on 1, 7, & 15(if you know the short cut). Never disrespect the birdie bottle, you don't have to do a full shot, but turning away the birdie bottle (especially in a team setting) is bad karma.
We moved out....worst seats IMHOThe Zone or the suites. Out of the elements and access to amenities. You can barely beg someone to go with you to the Zone these days. If you ask them to sit in the sun they will flat refuse.
Dad has 12 seats, 2 in the zone. We have to take turns sitting in the zone because none of us like it. End zone is good if you're there to scout or evaluate players. The other seats are on row 4 and 5 in section 506. Much better to watch the game. I was in the zone and had a great view of Kimrey's fade though.We moved out....worst seats IMHO
