the bar took probably 100 seats from the students section and unless it's just because it's the break there are no students in the upper student section here at the xl center.

This is the XL center not Gampel. The decision to put the bar in was made as part of the agreement between the Capital Region Development authority and Global Spectrum.

I think the bar looks great. Great addition to the place. And they were serving prime rib sandwiches. Not that I need them, but a guy was cutting the beef right off the standing rib roast.

Student/band section had empty rows in the back. What's up with that???

Students don't like to sit behind band unless necessary. Difficult to see

They should move the band back. They take up half of the lower student section.

The ad didn't redesign the XL center. Honestly, I can't stand people who think the world is out to get them.

Students don't sit behind the band because some of their instruments obstruct the view. I'm being serious lol. As a student I personally think the student section at XL is horrendous but thats just me

I was in the upper student section today (i'm a student) and today felt like the first real student section at the XL since the start of the season. I went to coppin st. and central game (couldn't make it to temple) and I too am perplexed about the section, the bar takes away a lot from it and the ushers aren't checking tickets. The section is filled with non-students who shouldn't be there and it really is a vibe killer

I get a "student section" is intended for students but how is that a "vibe killer"?

But then the band won't be able to see the dancers. :)

The last few seasons you could see a couple of the dancers from the International Space Station.
