Lets make a better surprise for the Cards...

As with us, we usually sit in row 31 and got row 7 last night (3 tickets). We'll probably only get 2 seats this time so I hope to be in a similar spot.

Re: Up to the fans

Okay, Shocker fans -- it's up to us.

Stanford won its three nonconference road games (at Yale, Colorado St., and Santa Clara) in front of a combined total of less than 9000 fans. In Pac-10 play, they lost eight of nine on the road, with the only win an unlikely one at Arizona State, official attendance 9272.

So they haven't won a true road game all year in front of more than 9300 fans. WSU fans need to make sure they get a larger and louder welcome to Wichita than they've yet experienced this season.

Also, to follow up on 21's point about how physical the game is when you see it down close: I've sat in various places in the arena over the years, from high up to down low, with my favorite being about 8-10 rows up behind the basket (the perspective I had for the great comeback against Iowa that set up the Battle at New Orleans). It's true -- there's no way to appreciate fully just how tough and physical a game big-time college basketball can be unless you're close to the action. It really is amazing to behold, and to hear the pounding and grunting that takes place.

I agree with you on seat location. Teresa and I sit on row 8 on the corner.

Years ago, someone told me that scouts like to sit on the corners, so I moved to a corner from center court. I have been on a corner for about 20+ years and it is great.

First time for me on the corner last night...I was on row 5 in section 119 seats 1 thru 4...rigtht behind the far corner of the Buffalo bench...needless to say I got a good/bad view of Reggies fall. Really enjoyed the seats otherwise though...and also being able to listen to the opposing coach...cant wait for monday

FYI Floor seats are open right now but my short wife wouldn't let me get those :(

My season tix are row 4. Lower than that and the press row gets in your way.

Sometimes I miss sitting higher as I think you get a better idea of how the plays develop, but sitting close gives you so much more that it's worth the few drawbacks.

[martymoose]

I'm not messing with the round house mojo! I'm keeping my same seats!!!!!

[SHOCKvalue]

Shall we create a thread making it clear we are playing Stanford, not Standford? I've seen it phonetically miss-spelled several times on SN in the past 24 hours, and frankly it's embarrassing as a member of the Shocker Nation.

Come on people, good grief...

I had the basket in my way both times last night but I didn't care. I was close to what I wanted to see: The under the basket action of Ramon.

Actually it's very scary, but I understood it completely. However, a few punctuation marks or dashes would have made it clearer. Anyone know how many tickets have sold so far?
