Should Packers replace bench seats with chairs?· Page 2

I don't know where you heard that. They did a whole lot of renovation inside the bowl back in 2001 when they expanded. Including taking seats out.

The only drawback to having bench seats is when you are at the game with your daughter and some fat slob keeps trying to scoot closer to her. (or your wife. but she is more apt to cuss him out.)

Actually it does get a little frustrating when you end up 2 spots away from your real seat because some people decide they need more than their allocated space. After all we are Americans dammit and we are entitled to more than 19" in which to put our fat asses.

I love the benches. Maybe not that comfortable if you sit between 2 big ladies, but I prefer sitting between 2 big Packer ladies than sitting between 2 Bears fan topmodels any day. The Packers playing football is the only thing to consider being inside the stadium, not if your ass is welcomed by a seat or a bench.

If we had attendance problems, I'd be all for chairs. Seeing as how that's not an issue, keep the benches. I also like the old school feel of them despite being a large person.

gotta admit, my 2nd time ever there they beat the colts, favre - manning dual awesome, but 25 degrees at gametime windchill of 5 degrees, snow coming down sitting on a block of ice wasnt the greatest feeling that day !!

The benches look somewhat uncomfortable, but I've never been there. And between actually seeing the Packers play and creating all those extra seats, it seems to be well worth it.

I don't know why you'd be a candy ass for wanting some more comfort than provided by placing your behind on freezing aluminum, though, but I guess they got that covered with the $5,- rental thingies.

Hear it from Packers fans!
Sal:
I decided to go to the playoff game at home against the Giants. I make my way into the game at a reasonable and customary time. I'm at my section and row five minutes before kickoff. I roll up to my seat (first time in Lambeau) and find out that my row has no seats.
Benches only. The "seats" are painted section of the bench where your ass is supposed be. Sort old school... but no problem right?

Wrong, the entire row (except for me) is already in their seats. The "seating" space is for a normal person but everyone in the place is about 175% of a normal person. This situation at Lambeau is fine unless - like me - you're the last guy to get to his seat. Nobody is gonna move their fat ass to make room for you.

175% of a normal person.....[grin1]

First of all get there early. Bring a seat with a back, drill, bolts and some wing nuts. Fasten the seat over your number. You will be fine.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?
