I got season tickets in a new area this year, and they are crappy, but not how
you would normally think. Because of the stadium donor deal getting season tickets anywhere in the lower bowl between the 25s is impossible unless you are a Legacy donor (10k one time, 1k a year thereafter). It seems a bit absurd that you can give 1k a year to CC and not get in between the 25s but that is neither here nor there. Finally this year there were two tickets that opened up in the bleachairs section (basically at the 25). I snagged two and was extremely happy at my good fortune. However, I'm beginning to think those opening up weren't a coincidence. Queue Houston.

Now, these chair are very narrow mind you and for a 6'3 person that sucks but I can live with that. I was with my friend who is 6'5 and he was even more scrunched but the view was worth it. Midway through the first quarter however we smelled something. And it wasn't good. It happens at games occasionally and you figure that someone just accidentally let one rip so I didn't heed it any mind. But then shortly thereafter it happened again...and again...and again...and again. Both my friend and I were almost gagging throughout the game. And I know the culprit, but seriously what can I do?

Sitting next to me is a very old couple who I'm guessing have had season tickets for a long time (please oh please though let them not actually own these seats) and the wife kept shifting in her seat all game. The rank was bad enough that I am pretty sure, and I'm not being mean here, that she had incontinence problems and was pooping her pants. Now I'm at a loss for what to do if they are there every game. Am I supposed to lean over and politely tell her to stop pooping her pants? No! For now I'm going to have to have my very pregnant wife who is too stuffed up to smell anything sit on that side so at least I have a smell barrier. But maybe my worrying will be for nothing as they just came to that one game. If not...I completely understand why the seats were empty and I may have to lay the trap for some other poor shlub for next year.
