My Mean Green Seat Selection Experience

Today was the big day, the day that I was assigned a time to visit Denton and select my Mean Green Club seats. It was truly a fun day and despite the rain I left in plenty enough time to arrive about five minutes early. I felt like a kid waking up on Christmas morning as I exited off of I-35.

As I was driving down Bonnie Brae I had an immediate panic attack because it was pouring down rain and I feared the athletic center parking lot would be packed. Luckily the AD had marked off parking spaces for ticket purchasers which put me in the best spot I've ever landed there, right by the front entrance. I also noticed that they had well placed direction signs on Bonnie Brae which would be helpful for someone who hadn't been there before.

When you enter the AC you are met by a nice guy at a table named Alan who checks your name off a list and gives you a premade name tag. He then directs you to the main press room which is through the double doors to your left, down the hallway past the weight room on the right and to the right until you dead end. I was already familiar with where the room is located since they hold a lot of the press conferences and events in there.

When I entered the main room, I was welcomed by a number of AD staff, including Cooper Jones, Eric Capper, Matt Stittsinger, John Burkett and several others. There is a handy bar including soft drinks, wine and beers as well as some tasty snacks. All of this is free and in my opinion a nice touch. I felt very welcomed and at home.... click here for the entire article.

I don't expect the same red carpet treatment that the club level holders received. I doubt that we will have personal guides or beer and wine. Also no personal parking space except maybe for a particular lot. All things will be scaled down as they should be.

I probably got stung a little by the fact that they only went back four years for priority points. Since I retired I haven't always been able to purchase the maximum number of seats or give as much every year. Still, this operation is so vastly superior to Fouts that I'll still feel as if I'm getting preferred treatment.

As far as I know, everyone choosing in the next group later this month will be either in 105, 206 or 207 and I don't believe that there's a bad seat in those sections for sure. I hope that someone will from the group that starts on the 23rd will post of their experience so I'll know what to expect on the 25th.

I concur with the above. My time is on the afternoon of the 24th and I will post my experience for informational purposes.
