Every time I see these complaints I realize how fortunate we are in the Sample Terrace Suites. Gameday buffet that's directly behind our suite and semi-private restrooms that are never busy sure make the day special. It took us a bit to get out of Lot 9, but that was the least of my worries. The client I took offered to drive, so I figured I could have an extra beverage or 2. Turned out he had several extra beverages. Kind of an exciting drive back up 69. Smile

We are in the Tobias center seats the past two seasons (must be just above you).  Convenient comped food and bev plus cash bar and retrooms.  Can get out for the weather if needed.  

We are likely to move next season.  I have trouble seeing past midfield anymore and the north end video board is too small.  The shade is nice for early games but the wind picks up bigly in Nov and the PA sound in that bend is awful.  There are more choices coming per Scott.

@unclemark We've discovered a little time saver by taking the Sample Road exit. Kinda windy but scenic Monroe County too...drops us right on Dunn where we want to be.

 

That was my uncle's go to short cut  bringing me to games in the mid 80's.  

 

Times/crowds obviously different then, but never really got slowed down after the 3 hour Fort Wayne drive.

They react to problems better than they anticipate them.  Waiting to see what all will be accomplished this off seaason before committing to a seat move.

@courtsense We are actually right above you. It's a great vantage point when the play is at midfield or coming toward us. Not so great when all the action is at the other end. Seemed like Saturday's game was 80-85% played at the far end. I ended up stepping out the back of our suite to watch on the video board behind us for much of the game. They've doubled the price since year one, so I might be in the mood for a switch too. Time will tell what new options are created.

@thehoosierhuddle I waited about an hour after the game to leave. Still took me about an hour to get out of Bloomington ( they wouldn’t let me turn left) and then had backups at times all the way to Indy.

Ah, I was thinking you were down on the temp field suites.

@courtsense I got kicked out of your area last year in that torrential rain game. Smile Happened immediately after I shook Scott Dolson's hand and thanked him for hiring Cig. He seemed to appreciate the sentiment, but we were escorted to the door shortly after. Totally worth it.

Scott works the crowd well

I thought you lived in Btown?
