Are the seats being replaced this year? I hope so.

I like my cushy seat so I don't really care a whole lot either way. If I remember correctly, Gallia, you sit directly behind me so maybe your seat is much less comfortable in row 2?! The real question is what's the hand dryer situation look like? As you may recall, I called for a formation of a non-profit organization called "Dry Paws" in which we collect funds for a restricted donation to Ohio Athletics for the installation of new state-of-the-art hand dryers. I think 10k would do it, and our general goal will be roughly 100 donors of roughly $100 each.

I believe they're replacing the entire seat structure. They chose the dark green frame with dark green seat and (for lower bowl) cushion.

We were told at the caravan that the seats come out in entire rows, not individual seats. Now, if someone wants an entire row, they might want to get on the horn with the athletic department ASAP.

If the seats were made available, I'm pretty comfortable that I could find a way to mount these so they'd sit on a floor.

The great news is my daughter graduated HS and is going to be a freshman at OU this year. Now that high school volleyball and basketball are over I can utilize my seats on most nights!!!

Jeff, from what you've seen, does it look like an improvement over the old seating?
