[NU Sports] NU Needs your help - pass the word

[Jonathan Hodges]

FYI, Check out the seating diagram here:

http://www.outbackbowl.com/tickets/diagram.html

You'll see that the school seating allotments (in red) are either in the
corner & end zone on the first level or at the bottom of the second level.
All of the club & member seats (in yellow, blue, and green) go to the
sponsors and those who fork over an annual fee for the tickets (local
companies & ticket brokers).  This is the way virtually all of the bowl
games work.  Last year NU's seating allotment in the Alamodome was very
similar.  A large group of us (78 this year) went in on tickets and are in
section 121 in the end zone (we were in the second deck last year).

Fortunately many of the bowl games are held at NFL venues which have pretty
good seating just about anywhere.  If I was in the south end zone at Ryan
Field, though, I would be not very happy at all.
