Major problem with the new seats…

I’m genuinely in shock. It’s been a while since my cuse days but…..damn. Getting up to let people pass is just a courtesy at every stadium ever. Yet it’s a thread here.

Agree completely. I don't see how it's any different from before.

People in Syracuse clearly don’t get out much.

I don't mind getting up as I do understand I'm in the way, the main point I believe people are making is when people go back to their seats, like during a middle of a play, To me it's just common courtesy.

We are right in the middle of our row and it's great, we rarely have to get up to let anyone in. The down side obviously is when we ourselves have to get out but we keep that to a minimum anyway.

The thing is, I don’t mind letting people by, just do it at the appropriate time. Wait for a timeout, a change of possession etc. Not during play. That irritates me

 

[Norman Dale]

Why not just walk through the rows and have everyone stand to let people through like every single other stadium?

Why does anyone at any age and weight need to climb over seats? Go down your own aisle. We’re living in a society people.

Totally agree. People moving about during live play are either clueless or incredibly selfish.

Very easy to fix too. All they have to do is instruct ushers to limit people going into a section until there is a stoppage. God knows we have enough timeouts.

And I’m only half joking here, but a lot of older fans- And let’s say “less nimble” fans - are struggling trying to step over the seats to get too different rows.

For years, fans were able to just walk on the benches or easily step over them to get to their row. Now I’m watching people literally fall trying to climb over seats from row to row.

I saw one “large fan” step on a seat bottom to get to the row behind, and nearly took out nearby fans doing so. It was like watching “Ox” run the obstacle course in “Stripes”.

And these were the sober ones!!

I swallowed a lot of aggression….. along with a lot of pizzas.

These are the same people who refuse to learn roundabouts and zipper merging and then will block a wide open lane that has a mile of real estate in front of them. People are weird here.

I have a bladder built for middle seats.

Actually easier since the seats fold up and you can stand back farther. Seems like more rows are full now with the reseating. First few rows in 319 have been pretty sparse except for big games until this year. This year they have been full both games.

Ok, this is fair. Easier to manage in a baseball game but there has to be tact with football and basketball. Unless you’re on the verge of peeing your pants.

There’s plenty of opportunity to move from your seat during a football game without doing it during play. Plenty

 

[Newhouser]

The other move that is odd to watch is should the person leaving the row go behind or in front of the people that are letting them out. Have seen both strategies in 2 games.

the seats are 100% going to break with people walking over them as well.. im a quasi athletic 215 lbs and i went down 2 rows and can tell those seats are not going to handle too many people stepping on them. heaven forbid a 250lb guy.

Sounds to me like the Dome needs to hire a lot of vendors to go up and down aisles selling beer and those fans that can't hold their bladder until quarter breaks need to buy Whizzinators.

Well, if some dumba$$ steps on one, breaks it, and goes hurtling down rows to the hospital, he gets what he deserves.

I said I knew my limits in a previous post but now I feel challenged.

Yeah, I watched a 250lber step on the seat right next to me to get to the seat behind. I thought it was gonna break.

The thing is, people look down their row and the rows above and below their row. Assess which has fewer people to bother and head down that row…then they have to climb up or down to reach their seats.

That’s when the fun starts. They actually are trying to be thoughtful. But it’s not like climbing over. Empty benches with no backs.. It’s just the old habit.

Hockey does it right no in or out until there is a dead spot.

Strangely enough, same with tennis, hockey’s sister sport.

I’ve never been to a stadium that had seats where you didn’t need to stand up to let people by.

My section is pretty solid and most people don’t get up and down during plays.


This years crowd has been interesting to say the least.

Multiple times trying to get loud on offense.

I feel like we have a good portion of people that are season ticket holders that generally only held basketball but bought football to help advance their donor rank for Basketball for the reseat.
