You haven't lived until you've visited Memorial Stadium on the campus at Cal

The row in front of you is so close that you literally have to spread your legs so that they are straddling the sides of the guy in front of you. He could literally use your thighs as arm rests. To walk out of the row during the game everyone has to stand up and you walk along the bench behind them. My wife refuses to go there any more. She goes into a bar in Berkeley with one daughter while I go into a game with another daughter.

ND sold small cushioned mats to sit on.

I was happy my old man and i bought 3 seats at the big house. If LES numbered

This is why Michigan didn't feel like 108K. You're really crammed in there.

Those new chair seats with arm rest should be banned.

We have cloth-backed seats, they enforce the 18" width and only hang over an ".

I'll take that one step further. LES should just do away with benches

People must have been about 5'4" when they built these old stadiums.

It gets worse at Cal

BruinGuy

I agree. The stadium seat should be exactly the same width and depth

10/13/15 4:52pm

There's something waaay worse than jerks with oversize stadium chairs:

I don't mind that they allow them (an I bring my own), but they need to enforce

I think people should just use common sense and common courtesy.

I love this idea! This is what we had at Nebraska. Great suggestion.
