So This Is How the Other Side Lives...

On Saturday we went to the game and were finally able to celebrate a win again! Things were different for us this game though, instead of sitting in our normal seats we got to go up to the towers and see what life is like for the other side. Since I figured most of you won't get this experience I would share mine. We got of the elevators onto the first floor of the towers and could not believe what we saw. End to end, it was a plushy open corridor with tables, bar areas serving drinks (non-alcoholic of course) and buffet tables. We loaded up our plates with the free (free to us) food and sat down and watched the game from one of the many TVs. The food was good. They had salad, hot dogs, mashed potatoes (weird combination, I know) and cookies. There were boxes of popcorn up at the drink bar. After we ate we headed outside to the box seating and watched the game. The chairs were definitely comfy. (Way better than our normal metal bleacher seating.) At halftime, the buffet tables had been changed out and they were loaded down with nachos and chicken tenders. They also brought out ice cream that was made at the school's dairy. Believe me, it was more food that I needed to eat. The place was so nice you had no reason to leave (except for those interested in car barring it up at halftime). I don't think I even need to say that the restroom facilities were far nicer than those in the rest of the stadium. While I did enjoy my time up in the towers, I will have to say that I prefer my regular seats to the towers on a regular basis. Life is not the same up there. I felt disconnected from the game. It seemed that many of the people up there (no offense to anyone that has seats up there) are there for the social aspect, and maybe aren't quite the hardcore football fans that we are. It was cool, I did enjoy myself. But it wasn't the same. I look forward to my regular seats this Saturday.
