I'm assuming those are in the endzone seating section? If so, and since you are sitting really low, not good. It's nice to see the play developing from a different perspective, but you just can't see anything unless the action is inside the red zone. Anything farther out and a 10 yard loss will look the same as a 10 yard gain. Take a look at this thread on one of our message boards. It discusses who likes endzone seating and who doesn't. Most of your questions will be answered there. http://www.cyclonefanatic.com/forum/...e-seating.html

There's an ad in the August Farm Progress publications (Nebraska Farmer, Wallace's Farmer, Dakota Farmer, etc.) promoting a ticket package with the Farm Progress Show that will get you into the game for $20.

Read all about it.

SDSU prepares for Iowa State

By WAYNE ORTMAN | Associated Press Writer 12:30 AM CDT, August 19, 2008 BROOKINGS, S.D. - The move to NCAA Division I athletics officially arrives for South Dakota State University on Sept. 1.

For football coach John Stiegelmeier, the "big time" comes three days sooner when the Jackrabbits open the season at Iowa State in a game that's been talked about for months.

"Normally we talk about a game three, four days before we play it. So we started six, seven months early," Stiegelmeier said Monday. "We did that because things have changed. It's a higher level. We need to have that focus." . . . (read more)

For a program that's never won 10 games or played in a New Year's Day bowl, looking the part's a start.

"They're a lot nicer than our old ones," safety James Smith said. "Change is good."

What hasn't changed are the low expectations most folks have for the Cyclones. . . . (read more)
