mc,
I've posted this before over the years, but the "entitled to seats" brought it back to mind. In 1979, we rolled into Kyle Field headed to the Sugar Bowl. The Aggies were in the process of adding onto Kyle Field. Things I learned that day:
1) Aggies sold tickets in Sections 300, 301, 302, but had yet to build those sections. They actually put "little league bleachers (5-6 rows) out on the concrete floor. 30 seats equates to 500+ tickets only in Aggie math, plus they could only see from the South 5 yardline to Navasota,
2) We were seated in Jim Duke's seats, which were 3, 4, 5, & 6. When we sat down, Jim was still outside playing celebrity and signing autographs. An Aggie over 70 and his wife showed up and he started cussing me for being in his seats, then threatening to "beat the hell outa me" if I didn't move. (This whole time his wife is telling me he has a heart condition, please don't hit him.) The "security usher" comes up, looks at my tickets and his tickets, then tells him, "1 & 2 are in the aisle, but you cannot sit there. "YOUR TICKET GUARANTEES YOU ADMISSION; IT DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOU A SEAT" The Aggies did not allow for the aisles when they sold tickets. A man seated behind us thanked me for not hitting the old man. I said, "no problem, besides if I hurt him, I'm with the world's greatest trauma surgeon"
