Pretty sure they sell out every game just like OSU. Sure they have far fewer seats in their stadium, but the demand is high.

I'd love to see the day when my BG tickets are costing me $46/game.

Boise State is the only game in town...or the state of Idaho for that matter. $46 is pretty steep...especially for a non BCS conf school but they have a GREAT fan base and their stadium is about 32,000 at the moment. I think they'll be adding on soon.

Supply, meet demand. They charge it, they get it, they sell out. Kinda like barrels of oil.

Oh sure, go ahead and insert logic into the discussion.

This is an Internet message board. We don't take kindly to folks using fancy things like "facts," or "practical examples" around here. Every single one of us knows everything about anything and we don't need you and your fancy "logic" getting in the way.

The "bleachairs" go for a $100 per on a season tix deal...At least we won't have to haul my wife's "folding back" seat to the games.

I was checking out their message board, and it sounds like they're adding on a little bit at the moment. It looks like they're filling in some of the tunnels that lead from underneath the bleachers with more seats. Don't know how much more that will add to the total capacity. Also from scanning some of their posts, I get the impression that a big expansion is in the works. If you're curious, go to broncocountry.com. They seem to be a cool group.

SFF,

They have really moved up quickly in their short time in 1-A. BG needs to strive to be at Boise State's level...

8 Division 1-A football teams make it hard for anyone to make a move upo the way Boise State has.

Temple - UGH, and Bufallo Ugh... are in the best positions to make just such a transition.

Freak, I agree 100%. BTW, where in Green do you live? I went to high school at Lake and lived in Hartville before heading to BG.

We live in the Portage Lakes area...right down the street from South Main and 619...

Lake, eh? Usually a VERY strong football program. I went to Dover and recently Dover and Lake have had some GREAT games. What took you out to San Fran?

That's a nice area. Used to do some jet skiing and bar hopping out there back in the day. Is the Pelican Cove bar still in existence? I lived just off of 619 as well (right behind the Hartville Kitchen).

I loved Friday night football games in the fall. I was fortunate enough to be a junior when Lake made it to the DII state championship game in '91. We lost to Fostoria though. I kinda keep track of what's going on with them still (thanks to Mom & Dad). I wasn't aware that Dover and Lake have played each other. One thing I remember about Dover, is there damn cross-country course. Man, those hills were killers. When I ran cross, we'd always run that invitational (1991 and '92 team champs!...think I finished 8th & 10th overall.) O.K., I'm done reminiscing about the glory days.

My wife's job took us out here. Although, I have moved around quite a bit since finishing up at BG. Upstate NY (twice), Phoenix, and Detroit before landing in San Fran.

I have yet to renew my season tickets and I'm not sure I want to pay extra for those goofy looking seats. I may just move back to the rows beyond the seats and save a little cash, if possible.
I did happen to sit in one... yes.

Ummm... I certainly don't want to discourage anyone from going with the seat-back, but I think it will definitely depend on your body type as to how comfortable they are. Felt pretty good under my tush, but wasn't a perfect match with my lower back.

I'd recommend heading over and sitting in one if you're not sure. I think they look cool and I think they'll be more comfortable than just a bench for most people!
Thanks for the report, Grant. Doesn't matter to me....heck half the time I'm on my feet anyway...probably pissing off a few folks behind me.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing what they're like. I think Mrs. Freak will be a fan of the chairbacks. At least the Atheltic Dept is trying new ideas...some work, some don't. But I feel the effort is there to make Perry Stadium more fan friendly. Look how much it has changed since the 2000 season. We need to fill that puppy every game cuz the place rocks with a BiG crowd.

Just tee the damn ball up. Who cares about the seats??

58 days.......GO FALCONS!!

I went out and sat in one this afternoon. I really don't care for the back on it at all. I'd definitely recommend anyone who is unsure to go out there and sit in one. They don't yet have them on any of our seats in section 13...I wonder if I could talk them into leaving them off my seats? LOL, I'll pay the higher prices, I just prefer the bench seating...

The Pelican Cove is history...has been for about 5-6 years. There are homes on that site now. The PC got a bit outta hand and the city forced it to close. I think the night two dudes got kicked outta the club and came back wearing bullet proof vests and carrying shotguns was the clnicher. LOL!

Sand Bar, Dano's Lakeside Pub, Bob's Bar and a couple others are packed during the summer...tonight for sure.
