Will anyone tell me what a knothole seat is?

Alright you can laugh. I'm not going to be offended because I know I deserve it. Merman and I are going to Family Day at Purdue and the big thing of the day is the football game against Central Michigan. I bought tickets for it because I thought at my advanced age it was about time I went to a football game. I know, I know, you don't know how anyone can not have gone to a football game in their whole life but I assure you if you are me, it's not only possible, it's inevitable. ;-)

Tickets were $39 or $20, and you know which ones I bought. The knothole tickets. I haven't a clue as to what the heck a knothole is. Does this mean I bought tickets that don't have a seat? Are we going to have to stand up for the whole game?

Please be merciful as you explain to me what I did. And if you crack a rib laughing don't blame me please!
 
Oh my!:floor: :floor: :floor: For 20 bucks ??:floor: HOw big is their stadium? Or maybe I should say how high do the stands go?
 
Mermy - Imagine a kid looking through a knothole in a fence to watch a game. You're really far back there!:biggrin: Sorta like our tickets we get in the "nosebleed" section at the Rangers baseball games.

We always have fun there - less crowded and fewer drunks! ;-)

Google it yourself and get back to me, wisea$$, if you think you can do better. I couldn't find anything that it explained it well enough for my poor little sports dummy brain. :roll:

I did however, google the size of the stadium because you alarmed me, cp!! The Ross Ade Stadium has--are you ready--62,500 seats and I bet Merman and I are sitting in seats number 62,499 and 98. :lol: I'll bring my binoculars. Or maybe not! I was comforted by the following statement from the fan site:

"Once inside Ross-Ade, new sights will greet fans. A new $1.7 million state-of-the-art Daktronics video board, measuring 31-feet high by 68-feet wide, will significantly enhance replays with clearer and crisper picture quality. Additionally, 29 different banners that pay tribute to the Boilermakers' rich heritage and measuring 17-feet wide by 7-feet high, will hang from the concourse rafters."

Y'know, stranger things have happened. This might be a life-changing sports event to me! Who knows? I might get suddenly fascinated by college football. I'm going to be in for four + years of Boilermakers after all...:lol:

I don't disagree with you in the least - - it IS a wiseass remark! Ha!
However, I didn't know what it was either so I had to Google it too.

You will have a great time!
