Cauldron location at CAB

The diagram in the ticket brochure includes a disclaimer reading: "Preliminary seating plan. Subject to change."

 

No way the cauldron could make it through a season without injury on the berm. It has to be the bleachers.

 

There is no need for there to only be just one supporter section. We could split in two if needed.

 

I like the berm for baseball, but not so much for soccer. I can barely stand on level ground half the time anyway. I'm gonna be the one who slips and falls at the top of that thing and does a "Homer Simpson-style roll" down the hill and takes out a ton of people.

I've been very self-conscience of my "falling down" ever since the Colorado road trip when I fell backwords in the stands and got beer all over those Rapids fans D).

So I would vote "No" for the berm.

 

but we'd like to keep the group as 1 I would think for visual purposes and keeping the group together on chants.

 

i disagree about not getting into the keepers head as much the bleacher are pointed out towards the whole stadium, field, players, and fans...everyone will hear us whether they want to or not

plus
more room to grow
on tv

 

I think the grass berm is not feasible for the Cauldron, especially when we add the Argentinians into the mix. The main Cauldron section needs to be on bleachers, but we could plan to have a group that will volunteer to sit on the berm and participate in the chants and throw streamers etc. on the goal.

 

Option A, hands down. The berm without terracing is a problem just begging to happen.

 

uuuh i know how you feel. since the last chivas game when i "slipped" on some flags underneath me and did a windmill-style fall, luckily someone caught me, and i heard people saying "man she is wasted!"

so for me as well, the berm would not be such a good idea.

but dear me is the price right! i wonder if they would take an IOU for season tickets for bleachers.

 

did anyone get pictures with a view from these locations???

 

Due to the short time frame of knowing about the meeting, I wasn't able to get home and get my camera. But the views aren't bad for what they are (baseball stadium views). Both are right in that corner, the very front of the berm will be on field level right behind the goal pretty much, going all the way back to that corner flag, and due to the dimensions of the field, the corner taker will basically be looking right at those people at the front of the section. The bleachers will be up higher and give a fuller view of the entire field, but still allow access for streamer throwing at corner takers.

 

Option A.

As it stands today, Option B is just not a viable -- too dangerous.

 

18$ might be a tougher sell as a season ticket or for people to pick up extras. I bought 3 last year, but I'll probably cut that back to 1.5-2. At 150, I could buy 4. I'm guessing we lose some season tickets with the bleachers, but we might be losing just as many to people who don't want to stand on the incline.

I think the berm would be a blast, even with a bum knee, but I can see why some people are nervous about it.

 

I'm with you on the money thing... Season tickets for the berm are $150, while the bleacher tickets are $324. Are the bleachers at Option A *really* $174 better than the grass 30-50 feet away? (Seems to me that the view would be about the same, except for the elevation.)

The berm sucks for the Cauldron. At the same time, I don't see how the Cauldron will continue to grow like it did last season if the seats aren't GA.

 

And that's the entire debate we kept going back and forth on last night.

 

Would it be possible to do a cross of terracing and berm similair to what Creighton's Stadium has?

Is the team worried about people standing on the berm either from a safety or wear standpoint?

You can look at the pictures here to judge the angles.

 

Here are 2 pics from last night on the berm

 

And 2 more

 

I don't get why they would open it up to a standing section if they're worried about it then?

 

I didn't mean complete concrete though. An area like that wouldn't need to be turned into a second picnic area, it could work just fine used for sitting on the ground or how they could us it at Creighton by bringing camping chairs. Just an idea.
Here's a link to a picture to what I was thinking, hopefully the link works this time.
