   Comments: This is a disgrace, the athletic department should help the students not lie and give them among the very worst seats. Even though I will not be a student any longer this is a horrific thing to do to the students that will come after me.

   Comments: Broken promises will lead to my lack of financial support for UCLA athletics. Students deserve to have a sizable section on the sideline where they can visibly and energetically support our team.

   Comments: Commendably, UCLA has gone to great lengths to preserve Pauley Pavillion as the historical building that is it. But more than improving a building and displaying championship banners inside, UCLA must foster an atmosphere and energy level that makes Pauley a legendary building. Essential to UCLA sports is the student section, who are if course the student-athletes' peers, and the reason why any university exists. Since Pauley opened nearly 50 years ago, students have cheered from the court sideline. As a group students are the most vocal fans. A recent highly questionable proposal to relegate the entire student section behind one basket equates them to the visiting football team's fans in the end zone of a stadium. Rather than dissipate the students' energy level by placing them on one end of the court, wrap the students around one corner where they can see other students and concentrate their energy and school spirit!

    Comments: As a season ticket holder (both FB and BB), long time donor and former student, I'm very frustrated with the recent performance of the Athletic Department Administration. Overall management of the Pauley renovation in general and the handling of the student seating plan in particular has been embarrassingly inept . The University exists primarily to serve the students and teach them to make thoughtful decisions. The new seating arrangement does neither. The folks at the Morgan Center seem to be completely out of touch with those who should be their bread and butter: present and future alumni.

    Comments: To put the students behind the basket stacked to the rafters has to be one of the stupidest things I have ever heard. I can't believe the folks at the Morgan center would listen to any of the fools at USAC. When I was an undergrad, we NEVER listened to the student leadershp. They are a joke. Put the students back where they belong...in seats where their presence makes a difference.

    Comments: Some of my favorite memories about being a UCLA student was going to basketball games and standing on the sidelines. Shoving future students in a corner is an act that alienates future lifetime alumni fans, and more importantly, lifetime alumni DONORS. For the future of UCLA, put the kids on the sidelines. It'll pay off in the long run. Trust me.

    Comments: Do the right thing. The students deserve to be on the sidelines. The students are the ones that cheer and motivate the team, not the "too cool to show emotion alumni". We cherish those four years courtside, as it is most likely the last time most of us can afford to sit there. Not a single team in the country, who's relegated their students behind a backboard, has a significant home court advantage. It's not always about the money, and if it is, I've given a lot of money to the athletic program over the years, I expect my voice to be heard. - CPT Eric Maraffi, USA, class of 2003

    Comments: The Athletic Director and administrators are thinking about money. The heavy donors are thinking about preferential seating. ALL SHOULD BE MINDFUL that the EVENTS in the arena ARE supposed to be FOR the STUDENTS, players and supporters alike. This is THEIR time, THEIR university experience. WE had ours. This shift is a shameful reflection of the ME-FIRST MIND-SET seeping through our culture and the MONEY-FIRST principle guiding leaders who have apparently forgotten, or never learned, what their own undergraduate days were supposed to teach them about how the world works best.

    Comments: Please move the seating back to where it was before. We already have horrible attendance, and no one wants to sit behind the basket. I know a number of people who aren't buying den tickets just because of the horrible seating arrangement. Look at Kansas State seating, straight up the side of one court (Octagon of Doom). That's how it should be. In the two years that I have been here, there has never been a single time I have seen Pauley full and I have went to 60% of the games and 100% of the one's everyone should go to (i.e. USC, Saint John's).

    Comments: The students should be visible to the television viewing audience most of the time. This is what makes college basketball television viewing so exciting, watching the students jump up and down, cheer, etc. Seating the students behind the net will not allow the students to be seen except for free throws which is limited viewing.

    Comments: Although unity of the student section is important, the most spirited and engaged fans are typically the ones who sat on the sidelines and cheer our team to victory. The complaint about the current separation of the 300 and 100 student sections are most often made by those unwilling to take the extra time to get the priority numbers and thus the good seats. By appeasing them, all students are punished with a location that would be ineffective and of poor quality.

    Comments: The most powerful place for students is on the side of the court and not behind the basket. Students will feel a lot more involved and their influence will be greater if they are not behind the basket. The students are an important part of any sporting activity and providing them with the most advantageous position in an arena will benefil our players during the games.
