Message: [QUOTE="UConnFranklin, post: 2797407, member: 5921"] I did see some lower 100 level sections blocked off prior to selection Monday. Some of the reasons I'm guessing they were blocked of are: 1. Reserved for student section 2. The coaches of various sports at UConn (Baseball, WBB, MBB, FB, Soccer, etc.) by contract are guaranteed a certain number of seats at different sporting events 3. Players get tickets for their families to attend games 4. Coaches reserve seating for recruits and their families to visit the games 5. Specific seating for the extremely high level donors $100,000+ are given preferential seating 6. Corporate seating deals To me these are all justifiable reasons for blocking off some sections to the selection process. If it were up to me I'd block off the first 4 rows around the entire court for student seating. Thus ringing the court in noise and students jumping up and down. Would add a lot of excitement and opposing team intimidation to the experience. [/QUOTE]
