Those seats were not obstructed view. My season tickets were in the notch. They were fun seats for the price
The notched seats were not obstructed view but the 2-3 rows of sideline seats they took out definitely were. If I remember correctly, those were only generally sold to visiting fans. In a perfect world with an infinite budget, we'd drop the field 3-4 feet and put those seats back but we can't because of both cost and what's under the field.
I thought the sideline seats in the notch went to local grade schools. Just look at who Mardy ran into.
I sat in them before and they were great seats. It's not like the first 5 rows behind the team's bench. Those are obstructed by the players. There's no players in front of the notches; just an occasional cheerleader.
Yea that's what I had meant when I said sideline seats.. the ones behind the player benches where you were staring at 150 athletic (and not so athletic) rearends for 3 hours. I believe they took out 2-3 of those rows too when the notches were put in to make the field wider.

I sat in those seats when they used to put the band parents there. You ended up watching the game on the video board.

...I don't like ultimate frisbee. I also would have zero beef if Cincinnati had an ultimate frisbee team that brought 30,000 fans and used Nippert 18 Saturdays a year.
I'm kind of glad they are gone too. They were destructive.
Agreed. They totally destroyed local business attempts to have as few customers as possible, and the university's attempt to make sure that no one in Cincinnati knew about our beautiful campus.
I'm sure you are just being a jerk, but I'll play. My seat that I've been going to since 2007, was destroyed by the soccer fans. It's now like sitting on a teeter totter. The facility took a lot of wear and tear from the time the soccer team played there. I sit in the Bearcat Lair/Bailey, so I'm sure I am seeing the worst of it.

Soccer hooligans are bad. Very destructive.
