Just when we thought our seats
could note get any worse, they did.
In the corner, up a harrowing stair
climb, one row from the wall.

We talked to the people behind us who
commented “We just bought these seats
yesterday!”.  Our response….
“We bought these a year ago.”

Once again no respect for those that send
in their money a year in advance or for
the NCAA Tradition.

Naturally, we performed our own
complimentary upgrade which is where
these pictures are from.
