We have many businesses who donate because of tax issues who would not pay for just expensive seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, you sacrifice some position but is there really a bad seat in RJS or the SunDome that aren't in the third level.Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm relatively certain there are no guns pointed at the heads of students - FORCING THEM - to sit there. They can pop open the wallet any time they want and spring for a non-student-fest seating. On the other hand if you'd rather preserve your folding cash for beer and forego seating elsewhere...then that IS the best seat you can get. Like you said...it's opinion. And for the record, if I had to sit in the student section, I too would never see another Bulls game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
