Seat backs

MattyV · July 6, 2017

I purchased some season tickets and I read that, "Season-ticket holders can add a seat back for $40 per seat for the season."

http://www.meangreensports.com/tickets/football.html

But there doesn't seem to be any information on how or where to purchase them.

Also, do you recommend these seat backs as opposed to one i could buy at Academy and bring to each game?

We have them. Nice to have. The backs are taller than the portable ones, but the seat is hard plastic. I don't mind giving the extra money to UNT for them each year.

Call the ticket office and ask them to put them on your order.

EDIT: Of course, you may not have them installed for the 1st home game (or the second), but if you complain enough, you'll get them in by the 3rd game! And they'll refund you part of your price. This happened to us 2 years ago.

They are fairly comfortable and a convenience.

I could be entirely wrong here, but don't they half heartedly ban the clip on chairbacks because the plastic ones are available for purchase?

They did at one point, but that was several years ago (still in Fouts) and they lifted the ban after people complained. We brought them in last year with no one batting an eye.

@Side Show Joe brings his to every game. I don't think he's ever had a problem before.

Worth it 100%!

Other than Club seats, are there any seats at Apogee that already have individual theater type seats ?

Not built in, no. Unless you want to count the seats in the suites, but I don't think that was your intent.

I've had the chair back, but found them too hard, and not as comfortable as a carry in seat. You should try the chair back first, and if it isn't comfortable enough then switch. MGTexan is right. You just need to call the ticket office.

you should be ok this early in the process in having yours by the first game. they are definitely better than just the bench. i think they are worth the money.

however, it shouldn't matter because you should be standing the entire game like me. ;)

We had them for the first season, but actually asked they be removed a few games in. We did not find them comfortable at all.

You order them when you order your season tickets (I've only ever ordered over the phone, so there's that).

My back is sensitive to gravity, so I've brought my own chairbacks with armrests and a cupholder for years. The Apogee-supplied ones are way more comfortable. Going to be switching to that next season.

I just stand the whole game. No need for a seatback

I like the seat backs. Since they bolt on, they sit a little further back on the bench, giving you a little more legroom than you get when you bring your own. Tip: if you get the seat backs and it's been raining, don't forget to bring a towel or napkins with you. If you bring your own seat backs, you have a dry seat when you arrive.

GrayEagle · July 7, 2017

I've done both and I'll take the Academy chairbacks any day. They're far more comfortable for me and my wife but face it, we're old.

The little bit of nuisance of having to haul them back and forth is worth it considering the comfort they bring.

If they did tell them this is big boy football we stand the entire game!!

Cr1028 · July 7, 2017

I don't understand why they don't get some more like they had at Fouts that were cushioned

VideoEagle · July 7, 2017

We are on the top row of the lower bowl. While some around us have the seat backs, on the top row, you can lean back against the wall easily. It also give you a place to put drinks, programs, etc. but that spot isn't accessible - at least not easily - if you have a seat back. The seat backs are great for every other row than the top!

I tried the plastic seatbacks the first year when Apogee opened, and I didn't like them, so I bought the ones from Academy made by "The Stadium Chair Company". I highly recommend them, They're solid, with a metal frame, and because you're sitting on a canvas seat an inch or two above the metal bleacher, extremely comfortable.

I got mine in August, when Academy was having a "buy one, get the second for 1/2 price" sale. I had to go to two stores, but I was able to get four of them in green. Maybe they have that sale every year?

Don't ask what shade of green - at least they're green!

I admire those that are able to do so but not everyone is 30 or have no physical problems with standing the entire game.

I hope that the standees take up an entire section or the back part of partial so that those who pay the same amount for tickets are at least able to see the game.
