Looking ahead to 2014 season

When it's colder I have gone to the "sunny side" of the stadium for the second half of some games. Although warmer it is harder on they eyes if you're not wearing a hat with a visor. Having said that, it's Whipple's "program" now and nothing will happen without his approval. I'll trust that he knows what is best for getting to where they/we all want to go.

Season ticket holders will be actually able to see any post-game fireworks for the first time.

I really hope they use the money on recruiting instead of fireworks. And that's coming from a guy who loves fireworks.

So what's the consensus here as far as moving your seats to the other side? If most season ticket holders keep their same seats, the desired effect for the cameras is not going to happen. I'm fine with moving to the east side and would welcome the sun on those cold days.

I'm moving to the East side. I like being able to watch what's happening on our sideline in terms of injuries and coach interaction with the players.

I'm keeping my seats beneath the press box. (At least I assume they'll still be under the new press box.) They're great in the rain. I know it's warmer on the sunny side, but it won't matter for the first game because it's in September, it won't matter for the second game because it's at night, and I won't be at the Black Friday game.

I talked to a local season ticket holder who called the box office to renew his tickets. He asked the person who took the call how many season ticket holders were keeping their seats on the press box side of the field and he was told 65%. Just remember unless a change is made the band does their half time show facing the press box.

EDIT: had some incorrect info apparently.

Called the ticket office and can not believe that I forgot to mention the east side. Any how, order 2 sideline BC tickets for a friend and asked how they were going. She said that the BC game was selling well and actually most people are ordering club seats. Look for the club seats to sell-out early.

Good point to mention that single-game club-level tickets are for sale this season. Unless you were a season-ticket holder looking for some extras, that was not the case the last two seasons.

I wish I had consulted with you before making the call. I am switching, and now realize that it doesn't much matter about the temp. I also won't be at the final game. I wonder who will.

^Unless I'm dead, you can bet your bottom dollar that I will be at the final game.

I'd like to also mention that Group tickets are now available as well for $10 each (minimum of 15). I called up the ticket office to confirm. I'm going to get a group of 20 or so (hopefully more!) down to the BC game. I encourage all of you to do the same. Let's make sure we take over Gillette that day!

^ Isenberg is doing a group rate for the BC game for $10 Sec 106. If you were a Isenberg student/ alumni you should get an email with the info.

Also says to look out for the following events

More details to come on:
- Bus, Tailgate Tent and Game Package - $25/ticket
(leaving from Boston for BC and Colorado games only)
- UMass vs. Penn State Travel Package
- A Taste of Amherst at Gillette Stadium
- Tailgate Tent before each game at McGuirk and Gillette Stadium
- Homecoming on September 27!
