of a stadium? I have watched a lot of fb in my 64 years and I have never seen it until the sips did it to LSU.

Got to be proud sips. Another first.

You were Texas, we are now.

Sit tight, because you will most definitely see it again next year when the fightin teasipper band is stuck in the nose bleed section of Tiger Stadium

I've never seen it. Usually down in the corner in some less than desirable seats, but never the nosebleed section.

I was in school when they decided our cannon was too big and loud for a nearby nursing home and then had the Brokeback gang fire their popgun all afternoon.

Sips are like that kid with the accommodation for extra time on tests and a quiet space that is just for them. They think they are clever and got something special, but no one respects them.

Give the sips a break. They haven't had a big time opponent in Austin in ages.

I bet LSU will not have any band tickets available

This. Not sure why LSU is making such a big deal about it. USC was up there last year and it was no big deal.

Forgive me. It was the first game of consequence in Austin in a lustrum. I haven't watched much of them.

They will decide not to travel. Budget constraints, high demand for the band to appear elsewhere, blahblahblah.

Who has been doing it for years? The sips? I've never seen another program pull that crap... been to nearly every game at Kyle for the better part of 3 decades and never seen us pull that garbage... I guess some programs have class, while others show their ass.

Of course i've never heard of another program petitioning their conference to make a simple hand gesture a penalty either... so there's that.

I'm pretty sure South Carolina does or has done this to opposing bands.

The sips have done it for a few years. They first did it against TCU because they didn't like where their band sat in Fort Worth the prior year.
I guess TCU didn't make a fuss, because bands have been in the upper deck ever since.

If you want to take a trip back in time, go visit the upper levels at Tiger Stadium. The sips are in for a real treat next year.

Not without precedent. They did it to TCU's band last year as well.

SEC schools do not do this to other SEC schools. And yes, TEXAS has been doing this to visiting schools for years.

This will likely be the view from the LHB's seats at LSU next year.

Why does anybody think this is a big deal? I'd prefer to have the opposing band far away from the field, too.

1) Simple sportsmanship
2) The band needs to have quick access to the field if it's going to march at halftime

Here's hoping LSU gives them each a single seat side by side along the top row of the stadium.

I would like no opposing team band or fans. But it is not what I like but about sportsmanship and not being petty. And doing stuff just because you think you are above everybody els.

All the band has to do is leave their seats earlier. I get the point I guess, I just don't see it as some big thing to bash tu over as some other people do apparently.

Dermdoc used a good word... petty.
It's easily petty enough to bash them for the decision, and hints to the kind of childish behavior that has always made tu a bad business partner.

Unfortunately for sips, it is no longer just Texags. It is now Tiger droppings. And there will be more. And supposedly only 3k LSU tickets allotted? And all in the upper deck?

Petty sip behavior on display. It is almost like they are morphing into Baylor. Schools and teams who really are important do not have to do this kind of stuff.

You were Texas, we are now.

Due to the south end zone demo, a lot of fans had to be displaced which explains the limited allotment and putting visiting fans in the upper deck.

I don't think this is the massive dick move you're making it out to be

Then explain why visiting bands have been in the upper deck for multiple seasons

Because that's what almost every school I've ever seen does. That would be my explanation. Visiting fans are always in the bad seats and that's the way it should be.

Edit to add: I hate texas as much as anyone else, but talking about opposing fan and band seat location this like it's some kind of ******* move or unique to them and so they should be criticized for it is just dumb.

I don't know. Maybe after the new south end zone plans were announced they wanted to begin the new visiting fans/band configuration early to ease the transition. But really, what is the big deal?

I think you're both confused AND lost.

Confused - nobody else puts visiting bands in an upper deck
Lost - this is where we call out the sips for being the collective piece of **** that they are. Don't like it? There are several other forums that might be more your speed.

Hand up, in your post before mine I saw/read "fans" instead of "bands"... shoulda read twice. I haven't ever seen a band in an upper deck. That said, with me not being a band member ever in my life, I see no harm no foul with putting the band up there too. Just seems like people are reaching for something to ***** about.

Yeah, I've never seen any visiting bands in the upper decks at Kyle

We have gone through two stadium renovations in the last 30 years. Never put opposing fans and bands only in the upper deck. And interestingly enough, we did a north end renovation which reduced our seats but we still honored the opposing band and fans.

And other stadiums have been renovated. Never seen the opposing band put in the upper deck. Have you?

You were Texas, we are now. Texans do not do petty stuff like that.

Curious to know how recently the sips started putting opposing band in the top deck?
