Is the SRO deck in the south endzone going to actually be reserved for overflow crowds or can anyone just leave their seat and hangout there? I can imagine hanging out there with a group of friends drinking and watching the game. Our seats would be empty on TV, of course, but it’s not like 1,000 fans are going choose to do it.

From what Ive been told that area is accessible to anyone in the stadium and adjoins the "concourse" that goes around the main level of the stadium that has restrooms, concessions, etc with entrances to the aisles leading down to all the lower bowl seating.

My bet is that's where the majority of the students end up. Y'all ever been to a Barons game on Thirsty Thursday? You can't even walk around in the outfield because of all the bros downing beers. Not that I'm going to complain...I'm always going to encourage student involvement.

Mercedes Benz Stadium has SRO tickets. Looks like they may only be sold for events where the seats are sold out or almost sold out. There are open concourse areas where someone may stand and have a decent view of the action. There also are unreserved bar areas where you can find a chair or stand and watch the action on the field or on the bar tv's. Protective Stadium's open concourse design will likely make for some cool areas like this. Can't wait!
