Weird. Just walked into the stadium. There is like 15k students already here. I forgot the seating is first come first serve.
Crowd was MUCH larger than I expected and as stated before, student in side section were there and packed plenty early. I too prefer the band in SEZ, can hear in upper NEZ much better. Replays were definitely too infrequent but didn't notice overlap as I rarely take eyes off field either through binocs when play down at S side of 50, or naked eyes when on my N side.
