    Don't know about the stairs. As far as the bars, anywhere where there is a wall or dropoff is going to have bars... in other words, any front row.

    I just checked Row 5 for you all along the shady side and there is nothing. But if you want to get toward a corner, things are still open out there.

    Good Luck JWWS

    Shady Side Primes Remaining in R1-4

    333 has many, including 2 and 4 in R2
    334 has two sets of 2s in R3 and many in R4
    335-342 has no seats left in R1-4
    343 has 1, 2 and 4 in R2, 2 and 5 in R4
    344 has 2 and 4 in R2, 2 in R3 and 10 in R4
    345 is interesting with 4 left in R1. Tiny little sliver with hardly any seats. Great place if you like plenty of room. Dead corner though, and those corners are pretty deep and set back.

    Shady Sidelines very little left below R12 now. I see purple as people are pulling seats closer to the 50 from where they must have been.

    Interesting: Rows 5-9 have less seats available now than the first 4 rows of Primes. Price difference of $105 vs. $125, but now this is an opportunity for somebody who doesn't mind paying the extra $$$..

    Do you want to sit in Row 12 for $105 or Row 3 for $125? sooner or later, this will drive people down the front rows despite the price.

    There's something that feels good about entering the 300 level (or any level) and walking down, rather than up, to seats closer to the field - no matter what yard line. Just seems more exclusive even if it really isn't.

    Those corner low row seats are interesting because of how close they are to the massive corner scoreboards. Is the sound too loud being close to one of those? Does anyone know? Back "in the day" when a halftime ramp visit for some not-so-fresh air was a regular thing, being that close to a giant video board might have freaked me out for the second half.

    Then again, for a night game it might have been even better than "Laser Floyd" at Hayden Planetarium.

    Yeah, that's what i was wondering too. There are a couple of very interesting seats left in R1 but you're right next to that giant screen. I wonder if that thing give off any radiation? I don't know where the speakers are. If they're right under the screen you're going to get 40 years worth of Rolling Stones Concert decibels on opening day.

    By playoffs you'll be like, "Hey? What's that you say?"

    Just got done with the process. It was pretty stressful and I got screwed in a way. I had my eye on 336 Row 8 seat 10-11 since 8 am . These were the best sideline UD available all morning. I had a 9:30 slot. 30 seconds before my time slot opened, somebody took the seats. Actually, what they did was shitty. They blocked one seat at 9:29 and then the other about 5 minutes later. I checked with the ticket office and found out it was a person with an 8:30 slot who waited just before 9:30 to take the seats.

    I really wished they took seniority into account more than seat location. With 32 years of seniority, I don't understand why I picked on the third day. I am somewhat disillusioned now with the process, especially seeing what others with less seniority were able to get yesterday and Monday.

    I ended up moving from 340 row 19 to 341 Row 11. Really wanted those row 8s.

    Actually those new seats are on the shady side of the field not the sunny side of the field :sad:

    DAMN, I feel bad for you. 32 years like me, and I went yesterday. Geez. I didn't move anyway, though I suspect had I gone a little earlier I would have been able to. I had a lot of choice but all were about the same as what I had.

    We learned that it wasn't an exact science based on the selection order of how some of us who post here went. Obviously there are hundreds of people with the same seniority, so that explains some of it. If I were you, I'd stay on them about your seniority ranking as this same list order is bound to repeat year after year. It seems we will all be changing location each season, or at least considering it.

    I selected after some with less seniority, but also before others with more - so I shrugged it off. It's not easy to do it 100% fair, but this process is getting them closer. I'd make sure they re-rank you, or at least have them explain your positioning.

    What do you think they spent on this web based system? Had to be $$$$

    336 and 341 are the only ones along the shady sidelines that DON'T have handicapped (or else I'nm looking at it wrong).

    336 and 341 show seats instead of the handicapped platform. That means there is a rail in front of Row 5 in 336 and 341 and rails in front of Row 8 in the other sections.

    Jwws - very important

    JWWS... listen, you are not done.

    DO NOT walk away now and not keep on checking. Yesterday I saw something pop up very briefly that I would have beeninterested in and within minutes it was gone.

    Somebody had great seats but saw something else they liked better and they opened up. So what I am saying is, somebody in that Section might have less seniority than you and now they are picking and going, "Hey, I'll move to Row 4 in whatever and give up their Row 6 or 7 seats!

    SO DO NOT STOP CHECKING PERIODICALLY as something may pop up and you can call the rep and tell him you watn those instead.
