Houston took theirs out completely in the EB/TA section back in 2007, not sure about last season. - Jonathan Hannon Thu, 19 Mar 2009 20:51:04 +0100 http://www.section8chicago.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=299:standing-room-only&catid=56:isa-board-blogs&Itemid=1#comment-585 I remember Guppy saying that without seat backs they can't charge as much money for the tickets in those sections for concerts and such. I guess the village is looking at the stadium now more as an SSS. kudos - DJ Tue, 17 Mar 2009 15:04:38 +0100 http://www.section8chicago.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=299:standing-room-only&catid=56:isa-board-blogs&Itemid=1#comment-584 awesome that they're making progress, but I too will be much happier and excited when the benchs are gone from our section's all together.... And the whole section, not just the first ten rows of each... - Jesse(S*L) Tue, 17 Mar 2009 06:11:35 +0100 http://www.section8chicago.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=299:standing-room-only&catid=56:isa-board-blogs&Itemid=1#comment-583 benches are required by law,SRO is not allowed - me Tue, 17 Mar 2009 03:10:31 +0100 http://www.section8chicago.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=299:standing-room-only&catid=56:isa-board-blogs&Itemid=1#comment-582 I think that without the backs on the benches, it will be a little easier to accomidate the large crowd in 117 and 118.\ Also only having 1 capo is another great idea as having 2 seperate sections screaming 2 seperate chants shows unorgnization. cant wait to see you all soon!!! -MikeCraig - MikeCraig Mon, 16 Mar 2009 11:37:39 +0100 http://www.section8chicago.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=299:standing-room-only&catid=56:isa-board-blogs&Itemid=1#comment-579 SRO = Standing Room Only Old school terraces see: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/low/football/6458843.stm - Kirsten Sat, 14 Mar 2009 15:04:06 +0100 http://www.section8chicago.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=299:standing-room-only&catid=56:isa-board-blogs&Itemid=1#comment-576 after I posted I realized about the metal poles. Lesson to everyone. Read carefully before you post. Knowing is half the battle. - El Guapo Sat, 14 Mar 2009 14:40:28 +0100 http://www.section8chicago.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=299:standing-room-only&catid=56:isa-board-blogs&Itemid=1#comment-573 The transformation is probably going to be over a couple of years and each step is expensive. It's probably no the first thought that comes to mind but even this step isn't cheap. Removing the backs and altering the seats is costing money, and the economy sucks. So I see it as a great step towards our goal, and a great move by the Village and the Fire's front office. - Ben Sat, 14 Mar 2009 07:30:43 +0100 http://www.section8chicago.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=299:standing-room-only&catid=56:isa-board-blogs&Itemid=1#comment-572 I would like to see the benches gone all together. The seats are molded and make drunken standing a little uneasy and jumping and celebrating near imposible. The only thing they are really good for is to throw lit flares underneath. - Jason Smith Fri, 13 Mar 2009 18:26:51 +0100 http://www.section8chicago.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=299:standing-room-only&catid=56:isa-board-blogs&Itemid=1#comment-571 the only things that keep me from falling back when i'm drunk are the backs...this is a step forward but I still look forward to the day when no benches are present - patty Fri, 13 Mar 2009 17:46:03 +0100 http://www.section8chicago.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=299:standing-room-only&catid=56:isa-board-blogs&Itemid=1#comment-570 El Guapo, they are removing the the vertical poles, it says that in the article. And what in the world is SRO and old school terracing? - Ecuadorian Fri, 13 Mar 2009 16:20:43 +0100 http://www.section8chicago.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=299:standing-room-only&catid=56:isa-board-blogs&Itemid=1#comment-569 Keep the benches or move to a proper SRO/terrace. Personally, I think we are grow'd up enough to handle SRO. S8 are, overall, a pretty conscious bunch, and I believe we could handle old school terracing. - Stephen McCormick Fri, 13 Mar 2009 11:57:10 +0100 http://www.section8chicago.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=299:standing-room-only&catid=56:isa-board-blogs&Itemid=1#comment-568 I hope those metal poles(backing) are removed. Major safety hazard if this picture is what is in store for us at opening home match. - El Guapo Fri, 13 Mar 2009 10:55:17 +0100 http://www.section8chicago.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=299:standing-room-only&catid=56:isa-board-blogs&Itemid=1#comment-566 Without the addition of railings it seems like they didn't really do anything for us. Who cares if they take the backs off, we could have done that? - Ecuadorian Fri, 13 Mar 2009 10:10:51 +0100
