Based on feedback from fellow Coogs I have amended the seating chart diagram. Note that they occupy only one section, not two as I previously stated.

Brian, I'll let you take care of this since you'll probably be able to fact-check it the best.
Here's what I got on Facebook from one of my friends ... he actually messaged me several days ago, but it was stuck in my Spam mail (stupid gmail)
"Jeff, if you look at this photo: www.rosebowlstadium.com/pdfs/Rose-Bowl-Map.pdf The bands sit in opposite ends of the stadium in the "lettered row seats", OSU's band was in--according to the directional key--in the northwest corner, Oregon's band was in southeast corner."
In CDJ's initial posting about the Rose Bowl, he ascertained "Front of Section 27" and "Front of Section 14," which essentially correspond to the corners that your friend mentions in his message; good news as far as that goes. As long as we have good reference photos--and I believe that we do--and we make it clear that the bands are not in the seats but actually on the field in "temporary" seating, then we should be able to get across the right information.Quote:

Sorry for the delay in images with my move from Maine to Michigan; still haven't set up my TV or PS3 yet at the in-laws, but I hope to do that in the next day or so. Once that is done, I'll resume taking the pictures and posting them to the thread.
I hope to get back to editing pics here shortly. Wanted to get Madden tourney rolling. Now that most of it is in place, I hope to help you with the images, Paakaa.
No worries, I still have sympathy for you for having to move to Michigan.Quote:

If we'd left a day later, we'd have been really screwed; especially me driving a 16-foot Penske moving truck.Quote:

Make sure the steps and a little bit of the left side of the section to the right is covered rather than the small section to the right. If you look here you can see what i mean

Thanks for the feedback; I'm just snapping the pictures in NCAA Football 11--trying to focus on the section we've designated as the "band section" and include other landmarks--while I believe that CDJ will be taking these images and circling/highlighting the specific sections after comparing them to our real-life reference photos. What I'm posting here are just the "source" images to begin with and the specific notes will be included later on.Quote:

Just finished out "The 120" with Wyoming at 10:04AM ET today; going to upload the "V" and "W" images so that I can attach them, and then we'll have those stadiums taken care of!
should we get the info for denver university, texas-san antonio, and texas state since they're joining the wac in the 2012-13 season?
If that information is available, it won't hurt to have it on-hand. We'll just compile it separately until those teams are confirmed to be in the game.Quote:

The University of Texas at San Antonio Roadrunners will begin playing in 2011at the Alamodome; here is the seating chart from their website:
http://www.goutsa.com/pics31/0/XT/XT...0915003716.jpg
The dark red represents the Student/Band sections. Until the team begins play, we won't know for sure where the band will be seated. We may be able to use the Alamo Bowl band section as a placeholder until we have reference photos; since there is a band in Section 125--which is in the dark red--at the Alamo Bowl, that could be a solid guess in the meantime.
Here's a "fun" look at what UTSA's turf may look like at the Alamodome, though it hasn't been confirmed yet:
http://blog.mysanantonio.com/utsa/fi...y/newfield.jpg
The Texas State University Bobcats play at Bobcat Stadium; the band sits in Section F, which is the black section on the seating chart below:
http://grfx.cstv.com/schools/txst/gr...eatingOnly.gif
SIDE NOTE: NCAA Football 11 images for Conference Championship games and Neutral Site Rivalries are now finished. Bowl Games will be started at some point, but probably not today.
After a whole lot of time spent going through NCAA Football 11, taking screenshots, downloading them to my computer, and uploading them to my blogspace, I finally have provided in-game reference images for all of the band sections that we figured out. Enjoy!
Wouldn't it be awesome if you could put all the hours you spent on this onto your resume?
Incredibly job to finish this off, Brian. Very impressive dedication.
Haha indeed. Maybe I'll find some way to make researching details for sports video games a marketable career trait.Quote:

Highlighted sections completed for teams A-F. Hope to get them done early this week, then will place pic into each appropriate team post.
I'm beginning to think this one is wrong. Go through a bunch of the videos at this YT account (all/most dated 2010, I believe) and they appear to be more in 217.Quote:

After finally getting the chance to look through the videos on that YouTube channel, I think that you're spot-on with Section 217. You can see the section numbers on the back wall at the top of the stadium, and while the angle isn't ideal towards pinpointing the exact section, 217 would appear to be the most logical fit.Quote:

http://pursuitofperfection10.files.w...ionrevised.jpg
From the stadium model, the label is "17" instead of "217" but this is on the correct side of the field. The section above this is labeled "30" in the in-game model which should match up with "230" or so from the real-life video on that YouTube channel.
I believe this is correct because you can see a "tunnel" opening at the bottom of the band section in the YouTube videos and the in-game stadium model has a staircase leading from the stands to the field; that quickly became a key thing to look for as I searched the stadium models for the band section, as the art team would appear to have put those in as an easy-to-overlook detail unless you're specifically searching out this information.
Thats wrong. http://image.cdnl3.xosnetwork.com/pi...0924172240.jpgQuote:

On that note, MSU is the worst team in the game right now in trying to figure out their field art. It appears they changed their field art 2 or 3 times during the season. That pic appears to be from early last year as the Nick Bell 36 logos are not on the field yet and the end zone text is white. When they played then #21 Auburn, it was maroon.
Shoot... guess I'll be firing up NCAA 11 again tomorrow and getting a screengrab of the correct band section for Mississippi State. Good catch, OSUCowboyofMD.
Thanks guys. And for field art, I'd choose the best looking one :D hahaQuote:

South Carolina - some games like the opener in the 1st link show them sitting there, but in the 2nd link, they're in another section

- I can't find any other pictures, but i've seen them sit mostly in the section thats shown in the 2nd link
You're right that there are field bleachers, but that's not enough for all of their band, and there's clear evidence that they are in the Sections we have them in.Quote:

yeah your right. :nod:Quote:

Yes, we are going to reveal HUGE news. But I am going to go ahead and spoil it for you...
NEW BAND PLACEMENT FOR NCAA12!!!!!11111
:D
EDIT - Alex has posted on OS that he came in this fall and is now the designer for Road to Glory.
I hope thats true.... :)Quote:

Hoping that they get Arrowhead Stadium back in for the Mizzou vs KU Border War. Here's a photo of the stadium from the end zone nearest the tunnel... {the tunnel is to the left} which is where MU is at and KU's band is in the opposite end zone.

It's probably too late to change at this point, but I just noticed that Paakaa's NCAA 11 screenshot for Houston has the UH band taking up too much of section 217. Here is how it should appear (apologies for the crude correction):
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...hted_CORRD.png
Ole Miss moved it's band to S6 at the top above the students so you can hear the band better. http://ev8.evenue.net/evenue/linkID=...ng_charts.html
There is a link to a chart that shows it. At the top of S6 it says Band, it might be hard to see. With the band moving to S6 the students will now take up some of Section A as well.
Updated table in post 2 with updated Houston screen and Ole Miss location. Will add in-game reference shot for Ole Miss later this week.
