That way at least our group could sit together. We had fun together, but it wasn't anything like the experience in the Marriott Center where all the students were together.
When the ROC was organized, I thought it just a knock-off of the MUSS, and didn't like moving the students behind the basket in the MC. But the ROC seems very well organized and the student-section experience is worlds better. Seeing all those students cheering in unison is what I always hoped we would have had back in the day.
Also glad we are past the skittles phase of fandom, in both the student section and the general admission as well.
