Help Shape NCAA Football: Band Locations

This bowl used to be known as the PapaJohns.com Bowl, which was a much better name because their pizza is tasty and compasses can't be eaten. Oh well; the bands for this game appear to be seated in the lower parts Sections 32 and 39. It's hard to tell with the angle of the photographs I found:

Home Band: Front of Section 39
Away Band: Front of Section 32

Would appreciate other sets of eyes trying to match the photos to the seating chart.

In this Florida-based bowl game, the SEC band sits in Sections 102 and 103 while the Big Ten band appears to sit in Sections 124 or 125.

The band visible in the upper right corner is the visitor's (Texas Tech). UH's band can be seen (barely) at the opposite end of the East stands (Cullen Blvd side).

OperationSports.com user "WIAggie" claims that the band sits in Section T. We are unable to find a pic to verify. Picture below indicates Section U.

Weird. Guess that's what I get for relying on linking things that come up through a basic Google search.

Even though that 3rd photo is a "promo photo" for boosters, I'm sure the empty section is accurate, couple that with the poor quality pic of a TD, it appears the band sits in section 13.

---

The corner areas are now covered with tarps and blocked off unless of a sellout... I sent a text to a buddy to ask if he could tell me but I haven't heard back from him.

Note to people who can change the list of Teams/Bowl Games; the EagleBank Bowl is now known as the Military Bowl.

Side note: I'm pretty sure that we figured out where the band sits for Rutgers, but I'm not seeing it listed as found in that second post of the thread.

Just trying to figure out for real what we have and what we don't have before I get back to trying to find more band sections here.

I'd say those are correct. Very confusing since the game is Rutgers vs. Cincinnati - both schools that wear red. Nice find!

Also, I'm editing the table as we speak. Entering the BBVA Compass Bowl now then will get to some of the other changes.

As stated before, what used to be the EagleBank Bowl is now known as the Military Bowl; it is still held at RFK Stadium. I have one image of a band sitting in what looks to be Sections 130 & 131.

Home Band: Top of Section 128
Away Band: Top of Section 116 or 117

It looks as though the band sections sit across from each other on the scoreboard side of EverBank Field, the home of the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars. The sections look to be Sections 116 & 130.

Home Team: Section 130
Away Team: Section 116

I have a few pictures for this game which would seem to suggest different sections; however, I believe that the bands sit in Sections 107 & 110 in front of the scoreboard behind the northern endzone.

Home Band: Section 110
Away Band: Section 107

FWIW, I don't think we need to make a particular effort to rename the bowls for the dev team. If nothing else, we'll be lucky if they don't rename themselves ten more times before release. The Military Bowl wasn't even renamed until October :-/

Haven't been able to get great shots of both teams, but I know that one team's band sat in Sections 56-57 in the 2007 game.

It's less of a consideration for the dev team and more a consideration for my own sanity with my obsessive-compulsive attention to details haha. In case my ridiculous amount of time spent research band seating sections hasn't already betrayed my OCD enough.

gee whiz, to all the guys doing this research and finding pics, you're doing a truly spectacular job.

Haha. Understood, then.

Paakaa - Your Liberty Bowl seating chart was only showing upper tier section numbers. I found one with the lower numbers and it matches up with the pics. (You can see 27 next to the green band on the left.)

G - Updated UL-Monroe. Does that look right now?

Updated through 216. Will keep at it, but going back now to get Rutgers since that seems to be missed for some reason. Nice catch, Paakaa.

That pic is definitely more up-to-date, however I'm not sure that the section you put is correct considering that there is a band on the field and the section you put is still full... I assume thats the visitors section and/or visitors band considering how red their shirts are.

I think it's the opposite end of those stands based on this video (check the end of the play that starts at 1:01)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jlhp2bZMik

I've posted on Facebook asking if anyone knows where TBDBITL or the Oregon band were seating during the Rose Bowl ... hopefully one of my friends that went to the game or former band members can tell me.

Go ahead and "reserve" that one for me, cdj. Even if my friends don't get back to me, I'm confident I can find it.

Good stuff, JHC, G, & bb.

Paakaa (& anyone else) - Go back to the previous page and LMK what you think of what I added to the Military Bowl. They seemed to change things up from 2009 to 2010.

Looks like they did; good catch, man. I'm right there with you on the numbers you have for the band sections.

Couple conflicting images here; I have one from the 2006 Game that shows both bands sitting in the stands, and one from the 2010 game which only shows one band in a slightly different section.

Home Band: Section 122
Away Band: Section 101

I'm guessing this one is the same as the Holiday Bowl. Section 57 & 45. LMK if you agree and we can go with it.

Another angle from 2010 (link)

FWIW, in 2009 the Cal Band sat in one of the sections that was tarped off in 2010.

With it being the same stadium, I feel pretty confident that the band sections would be the same even though they're two "different" bowl games.

http://pursuitofperfection10.files.w...mobowllogo.jpg

I'm pretty certain that this indoor venue fits the typical layout of band sections in terms of having the sections behind the endzones at opposite ends of the stadium. These should be Sections 103 & 125.

No... it'd actually be right half of 113.

Looks like both bands--at least in the 2005 game, which I have the most pictures of--are seated directly behind the uprights in each endzone. This corresponds to Sections 101/102 & 121.

Home Band: Section 101
Away Band: Section 121

Placement may be somewhat dependent on how large a band is, it would seem.

Makes sense. I would expect that the ACC Championship game would use the same alignment as the Meineke Car Care game, and that appears to be the case.
