a very quick look at stubhub does appear to offer what is pretty much the exact same seats that I was otherwise looking at and the pricing is a bit better on all of them from what I can see. stay tuned, more to come later tonight

Which one would have the best view. Cost and closeness to the field aren't dealbreakers for me, I just want to know which one you guys think will have the best view of the action...

IMO, Tpaul the straight on end zone seat is a great viewpoint. Sat there for the opener against the Eagles, the Monday nighter, and a Panthers game a few years ago. The spot lets you see all the action, plus the jumbotron straight on. But the drawback is being up higher. Had top row once, which seems bad, but there is a walkway behind the seats that made for almost a tailgate feel at the game. Don't forget to vote early and vote often folks!

Oh I care alright! How big is it? Does it have a choke? Is it clean? Glass or metal? How thick? What color?

These are the questions you've gotta ask when it comes to bowls...

Don't forget...can I reach the toilet paper without wrenching my back?

I'll vote for # 4

but both 1 and 3 sound fine too if that's what ends up happening.

i always love these threads. usually some funny stuff in here. and more importantly i can plan the dream vacation in my head from all the details while quietly storing the info for when i get a real job.

in the meantime i am stuck trying to pay the rent with the well wishes from my 'employers' and rainbow energy. mark my words though one year i am going to make it to this event.

Fuck!!!!! well I had a really long post explaining the difference between house StubHub is connected to the Lions ticket office verses sites powered by Ticketmaster. there is some risk there as a result from double selling. none the less I intend to the house search StubHub. Max had mentioned some other available seats. Those seats have always been available I simply did not list them among the options because I did not feel they were better than the other seat options. I want to make everyone as happy as possible with the seat selection so if you would like me to search other areas please post those and I will look into it

TP just texted me his vote for option 3. We have a tie so Lionstop, Superdave, and Smitty will revote to break that tie and then I will buy that area.

Why I feel the need to respond to a leg warmer wearing aerobics bitch is beyond me. Please grow a pair before the opener. :laugh3:

Option 4 it is. Only one block accommodates our size (there are 2 others but priced ridiculously). So barring someone getting these before me we will be Section 111, row 41

First off, the Insanity program is far from "aerobics". Like I said, I'd love to see u even try the fit test. I guarantee u don't make it halfway through. But I digress....

Seats look good, I checked the stadium chart. Lets hope there's lots of Deteoit scoring down there. Say.....3 TDs to Calvin from Staff? Too much to ask? ;)

Great seats. My family had season tickets in the same area back in the Silverdome. How much per ticket?

That's 60% of a seasons worth of TDs.... But that was last year, so maybe we'll be there for the dawning of a new era. Or the re-start of one. Now what's this about leg Warmers?
