How about the Heard, play on words.
I have always favored wrapping the student section around behind the visitor's bench. Having visitor supporters there is complete bull****. Have organized competitions between all of the social organizations and Greeks to see who can be the loudest and most creative in being disruptive during time outs and put them in the first 4 rows. Make it so difficult for the other team to even think on the sideline that they dread playing here.

They dont do that now, I believe there were about 8k student season tickets sold, and only a few thousand are let in.
wait, what? they sell more tickets than they allow in?
Maybe someone could correct me on this, but I believe that they did sell 8k student tickets, as a add on to the Football tickets. They only allow I believe ~2.5k into coors. Although they will continue to stuff them in as long as they fit (fire dept dont read).
This is pretty common place in college basketball, this is why many students camp out days before big games. Krzyzewskiville is for just that, you have to be the first so many students in line to get in.

The sell the basketball season tickets with the football season tickets. Usually about 8-10k students purchase the combo season tickets at the beginning of the season. However there are only 3k students seats at Coors. Thats why some students were turned away from the KU game.
Thanks for the input Buffalo Betsy.
gotcha - thanks
When I went to school at CU, you could show up 5 min from tip off and sit in the first few rows with out a issue, it was lame as hell, and the team wasnt bad. The way we are going now, we will see kids camping out for the big games in no time at all.
Bring on College Game Day!!!
agreed. must go to the dance...
Yep. I did the same thing. The atmosphere sucked, but it was fun that you could yell and be heard by everyone on the court. I also remember that they mixed the students with the general public. That was kinda weird. Oh, and they sold beer. When did they stop selling beer at the keg?
I think 2006-07? All I knows is THEY NEED TO BRING THAT BACK. It gets damn thirsty in there during sellouts and it sucks having to run all the way down to the buff club and paying8$ for a beer you can't come back to the game with... Lots of people I know have missed gametime due to this.

I definitely remember the days of easily getting great student seats at the CEC...I often times would show up about 30-45 minutes before tip-off and basically had the pick of the student section for where I wanted to sit...as far as beer goes, it looks like it was before the start of the 2007-2008 season:

That's good. I'm going to start referring to the student section being on its feet the entire 40 minutes as "The Keg Stand".
:thumbsup:
holy ****. I was sitting literally feet from you. :rofl:

No you were sitting next to the youtube poster "rencast86" haha i was in the student section. i found this looking for highlights of the final shot cause I still haven't seen a replay besides the one they showed on the board at the game
I saw it on the tube. It was very very close, but he did not get it off in time.
Thats my uncle and cousin with his girlfriend in the row in front of the camera shooter, and the guy in the Duke hat is a family friend. I usually sit there too, but I was unable to be at that game. See you at the Texas game SnowBuff?
I will be there, but probably not there. Tend to move around depending on who I'm with.
The guy in the bottom right of the screen would definatly not be on my good guys list... Purple shirt with a Duke hat,,, lame

Go to ESPN3.COM. You can watch a replay of the entire game along with the tv comentary for free. You can do this with almost all of the CU games excpet for the ones that are on FSN. Not sure how long they keep the games up though. Gotta love the evil empire's family of networks.
Yeah I've never understood people that wear different teams logos when that team isn't playing. Even worse are the people who wear Bronco's stuff to the Buff games. CSU fans are the most guilty of this and I believe that is why they are slowly changing their colors to Orange.
fify, what an end to a game
