I got my 2010 seat location notice from the Lions Tuesday, and I'm impressed. The club set out to give people similar seats at Empire Fields to what they had at B.C. Place, a near-impossible job given the differences in size and configuration of the two facilities. In my case they couldn't have done much better. At B.C. Place, I sat in the second row in the west end zone facing the replay screen. At Empire Fields, I'm in the second row in the north end zone facing the replay screen. I may be a bit closer to the Lions bench than my preferred location near the middle of the field, but I can't complain. I hope other fans who have sat in my area for years are still nearby.

I got my seat locaton today too! I really am not too concerned for this year. I just want my old seats back once we return to BC Place. Maybe they could hold FanFest at Empire this year! :cr:

Ah, I was wondering when you were going to post your April Fool's prank.
Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.

That's not true. I was specifically told the seat configuration is the same. What they did was take the seat layout map and exactly place it over the seat layout at Empire stadium, at least for the lower section.

Does that mean season ticket holders in the Upper Bowl will be seated on the temporary roof? :wink:

They've been given fall-arrest harnesses and are hanging from the wooden coaster...........

My seat allocation is virtually identical to last year - around 20 yard line on the visitor's side. So no complaints from my end. Lions communication has been better this year than past years and they've been very easy to deal with when I've called them.

I expected it to be obvious that it would be for the lower bowl; but maybe not. You know that seasons tickets were at 17,500 or so right?
