How "obstructed" is the view? Any obstruction at all seems like a horrible idea and makes me think the implementation is Image

They put giant video boards in a stadium that is never full and is small. The first few rows of the upper deck end zone center get obstructed. Get over it.

This is why we can't have nice things. When did you idiots prematurely become whalepants?

First ~6 rows of KK & XX will require standing to see the whole field. Moved over a section so I wouldn't get 'down-in-front'ed the entire game.

Not complaining, just curious as I have tickets in V V. I'll be going to the Maine game so I can probably sit anywhere I want up there.

Having seats with obstructed views is dumb - this wasn't built in 1918. end of story.

There is also a small handful of people who have had those seats since the upper decks went up in the 90s. They're getting the shaft, and I hope they have been compensated in some way.

yep - not sure why you felt that my opinion was that it was better to save the seats and scrap the scoreboards.

Why not just get rid of the obstructed seats and add new seats by closing in the corners? :shrug

you'd get to count those seats as net takeaways that could count against all the empty seats that will be added to close in the upper bowl.

let me know the next time the stadium sells out and losing this 6 rows of seats becomes an issue

Just like you should never trust a woman with a hyphenated last name.

The Boston Garden was built in 1928, not 1918.

A picture of this showed up in my Facebook News Feed via the Boston College Athletics FB Page. I was very tempted to simply post "NERDS," but I figured I'd forgo commentary on the despicable generation on this sort of venue.

Why would you post nerds? It was promoted for families to attend, not students.

I don't think the students are even back yet.

I applaud Bates on this. Get alumni and local families on campus and build some goodwill.
