Per Jonno:
We will poll Inferno members to decide where will be located so join now to have your say.
Just to summarize some of the important points:
1. The Burn/FC have said they will support our right to stand/cheer/wave flags/bang drums if we choose to stand on the sideline or in the end zone.
2. The Burn/FC have said they will help in that regard by creating a buffer zone around us so that we don't have people complaining they can't see.
3. The Burn have said they will also help in this regard with signs etc advertising our area as such & will warn people buying tickets near us.
4. The Burn have expressed their desire to have us behind the goal but also said they will accept & help us wherever we choose to stand.
5. IF we chose to go sideline it would be more difficult for the Burn to create a buffer zone etc the closer we got to midfield. Even within the same price range for seats the demand will be higher toward the niddle of the field & it will be more difficult for the Burn/FC to hold off selling seats near us.
6. The teams will enter the stadium from the NorthWest corner & not pass by either the East sideline or endline in their pre-game procession.
7. FC Dallas are going to shoot towards the South end in the 2nd half.
8. All 4 corner sections have plaza areas above them (with presumably corporate types in them) so the Burn/FC have expressed their desire not to have us right beneath them.
9. The most likely options on the sideline are 123 (SE) or 131 (NE).
123 puts us more in the middle of the crowd & closer to the south end for 2nd half atmosphere/cauldron purposes.
131 puts us further away from south end so reduces possible conflicts with groups in the south end & might lead to greater overall noise levels by spreading out the noise. Might isolate us a bit more though.
South end obviously has price advantages plus the cauldron effect but view is disliked by many.
