[QUOTE="AUFC, post: 545695, member: 3230"] A few things: 1) The view is awful in the SS. This is the hugest issue...the huge stage in front of the section makes the whole 6 yard box unviewable unless you're sitting in the front row of 136/102. The touchline and corners are unviewable from the club seats but I'd rather miss out on that than the goal and goal-mouth. I hate the anxiety and fight of finding a good seat as the march finishes. They built MBS too much like an NFL stadium and not enough like a Soccer Specific Stadium (which is obviously not a surprise - if you've never sat in an SSS, I'd encourage you to experience one for an ATLUTD away game...it should be the golden standard for small P5, G5 and FCS college football. The seats go upward instead of backward and it makes for a really intimate, intimidating atmosphere where you feel like you're on top of the pitch). 2) The people. Some combination of how drunk everyone is, the chaos that is constant chanting, people who are new to the section, the flags - there are just constant fights going on in the section that you don't experience from the 200s. When having prime location seats, I have had people squeeze into my (saved) seat while in the bathroom at halftime and tell me to my face I wasn't sitting/standing there in the first half. If you sit near someone with a flag, you guaranteed will get people 2 or 3 rows back who have never sat in the SS before screaming at the flag guy and throwing beer and food (that inevitably hits you) all game because of the flag waving during play. The supporters group I'm a member of is a bunch of overgrown 28 year olds still stuck in high school...literally the cliquiest thing I've experienced in a long time. I wanted to watch the games and participate in the atmosphere when I got supporters section tickets almost half a decade ago at this point (like I did in SWARM at GT games). The games at BDS were great but the whole experience at this point just detracts from my ability to watch and enjoy the games. Me and a buddy started selling our SS ticket early and buying club seats for the same price day-of towards the end of this past season. We stand in club and it's a great experience. [/QUOTE]
