Hockey student ticket holders better get priority over regular students. Sections 26 and on are going to be really far away from the ice. I was at the Culvers Classic with endzone corner seats and I could barely follow the puck. In essance, I hope my tickets will be in section 25, rows 30 and below.

it sounds like "hockey season ticket holder seating" is reserved for the townies that own tickets and not students, if this is true than i call bullshit. I will be so pissed off we don't get priority in the student section or at least get put with the townies. By reading Brian's post, the 4 state students that show up will be at the goal line and closer to the field than Michigan's 1500 students (or whatever it is) that show up to every game

I better be included in "Hockey Season Ticket Holders". I will be very angry if I am shunned over into the corner with the rest of the students, no matter what the row. Does anybody with better estimation skills than me know about how many seats are covered for season tickets? Should it be enough to cover the students and the regulars (Probably on opposite sides). And also, why is the MSU allotment so good? Wisconsin didn't give us anything, so why do we have to give MSU anything, much less such relatively nice seats? Stick them in 11-13 where they belong...

Not all students that don't have hockey season tickets don't care about the team. I'm a diehard hoops fan - this is my 5th year at Crisler. Unfortunately my wallet makes me choose between hoops and hockey. Doesn't mean I don't care about hockey and don't know every in and out there is to know about Yost.

Excellent move making the season ticket seats higher up in the bowl. Having gone to both the Cold War and the Camp Randall game, no one is seeing anything until about row 20 or 25 at the lowest. They probably could have gone a little bit higher, but still, it shows someone did their homework.

The only problem that I see is due to the shallow rise of the bleachers in the bowl. Those in lower level end zone seats will have a tough view over the boards. I was at Camp Randall, 30 rows up in the south endzone, and you couldn't see the ice from the boards to about 5 feet in front of the net. Still plenty good and a hell of a good time, but tough view for that chunk of ice.

The one thing working in Michigan's advantage vs. Camp Randall, though, is that there's a hell of a lot more of a drop from Row A to the field level. I was in the 18th row or so in the endzone in Madison, and as I recall, the field level in relation to the seating was similar to what Michigan Stadium had before the field was dropped in '91. You could just walk out of the aisleway onto field level. Which is why they didn't even sell the bottom sections. With this game, essentially, the top of the glass will be even with about row 2 or 3. For sight lines, that's pretty huge.

Unfortunately to sell out the Big House for this there will have to be almost as many Sparty fans there as UofM fans. I doubt they will be able to fill all the student section seats. Its the weekend before exams start and itll be too cold for alot of students. I assume they will require students to go pick up their ticket by a certain time. After that theyll sell unclaimed student seats tickets to the public.

by reading brian's post, it sounds like state's 4 students that will show up will be in the overflow of 2 and 3 which will be at a goal line...and Michigan's 1000 or whatever the number is students that show up to the hockey games will be put in the corner with a weird angle and roughly 25 yards from the actual ice...that just seems dumb

Does anyone know which directions the seat numbers go in Section 22 at Michigan Stadium?  Which is closer to the 50yd line/center ice--seat 15 or seat 33?
