[NU Sports] Ticket question

[Jim Bendat]

I've sat in 108 a few times, including the last time Purdue came to our stadium. There are plenty of NU season ticket holders in that section. It's actually a great view, sitting across from the main stands. - Jim B.

>  I want to attend the NU-Purdue game on 10/9/10.  My question is what our list members think about sections 107 and 108.  They are awesome 40 to 40 yard line seats, but is located on the "visitor's side".  On TV there looks to be a lot of purple.  I don't want to sit in a large group of Purdue fans in my own stadium. Any thoughts?
>  Note: On Stub Hub, these sections were selling for $34-$39,  the same price as end zones seats.
