Where are the best seats these days? I used to sit in the lower 200 areas and loved it (roof, TV perspective, people), but now I am seeing that the PSU sideline is on the other side. Is it better to club seats? Are there people over there? Haven't been to a Vikings game in a while. Time to change that.

Please, please join us in the lower 200 section. There are still enough of us to make some noise, and we will need as many as possible to (kind of) neutralize the opposing fans (who knows, maybe this year that could actually happen?)

Haha, we'd like to do that, but we are pretty quiet watchers, so I'd just like to be where the Viking crowds are the thickest. That used to be in the 100/200 area, but now that the Vikings sideline is on the other side (or has it always been?), I wonder where most Vikings fans sit.

This game is the first for me in the club seats. After the Timbers refurbished the layout, it seemed strange to me to be sitting behind the visitors, but I did through last season. I missed the WOU game so I thought I'd try it on the other side (the strong side).

So just to confirm, the club side is the stronger one in terms of Vikings fans attendance? I might just toss a coin.

I would say the east side is the strong Viking side.

This team is getting better and better every game. They are a good football team and I don't really think that we've seen the ceiling yet. I'm looking back at the UND game as a real wake-up game. The play calling has looked so much more well rounded. You have to defend the whole field against PSU since that game. What a gutsy move it was to go for it on 4th down in the first half. They could have, maybe even should have kicked a field goal. Instead he said we can move the ball on this team and they did. My wife turned to me and commented that that was more of a message to MSU than anything. She said they proved they aren't scared or intimidated by them. I agree.

The maturity they showed when they were running the ball and clock at the end of the game was really fun to watch. Was there anyone in the stadium that questioned whether Kuresa was going to manage that well? I don't think so. That fumble could have been a real back breaker.....so what did the defense do? They stopped them with their backs to the wall.

I don't think I've seen anything so beautiful as the sea of MSU fans leaving the game early....that and the fact that the students stayed to the end.

Since I'm currently living overseas and don't have a credit card, I don't have access to stateside cable nor can I get any of the pay to play services. Is there a free streaming service out there
?
