Well crap haha. Guess that screws my post on it. My wife was grumbling earlier because I was downloading huge stadium pictures and killing our network connection while she was watching Netflix; she thinks we should be emailing the schools directly to ask where their bands sit instead of doing all this haha.Quote:

I've reached out to schools in the past on aspects. We'd be extremely lucky to get responses from 25%.Quote:

No idea where the visiting band sits or where the UTEP band sits; the student section for UTEP, however, is apparently on the other side of the stadium.
Based on some finagling with the seating chart...Quote:

Looks like the home band sits at the bottom of Section 107 based on the picture; the away band would then be in Section 101.
EDIT
However, those sections would seem to disagree with the labeling on the official athletic site's seating chart here: http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/...ng-diagram.pdf On that chart, Section 107 would be the visiting section and Section 101 would be the home student section. Maybe it hasn't been updated lately?

The Western Michigan band sits in the back half of Section R in the Student Section of Waldo Stadium; here's the seating chart:

This is one of the worst "official" seating charts I've found in the past few days of searching.
http://grfx.cstv.com/schools/vand/gr...agram-2009.jpg
According to that seating chart, who knows what section you would say the band is in based on this picture:
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4110/...4c4e6772_o.jpg
http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5205/...f327a905_o.jpg
I would say between Sections P & Q. Based on this next seating chart, it looks more like Section Q; really hard to tell how high up the band is sitting though.
S38 looks right. The Seating Chart specifies they're in S38, and based on the pics, I think that's right. It may be one half of S38 at the worst, but it's hard to tell, so going with the seating chart is a safe bet, since the pics seem to corroborate.Quote:

The team is actually slated to begin playing in an as-yet-unnamed new stadium for the 2011 season, which obviously will have no reference materials to work with in terms of establishing where the band would sit.
Do we want to keep trying to look for where the band sits/sat at Fouts Field, even though a new stadium will likely be in play beginning this fall?
Yeah, I think NT is going to be a really hard one ...
Could ask Lar1212 if he can help us out.
This is the only pic I can find, but there are no distinguishing points in it. However, you can tell WKU is in their own territory and - correct me if wrong - I'm not seeing a way to recreate that picture if they are still in Sec. 135. The pic is from 2008, so you'd think it would override the seating chart that didn't even have the other set of stands shown yet.Quote:

Up to #166 in compiling. Will pick back up tomorrow afternoon. Awesome job, everyone. Very impressive.
I actually think it's saying that there's a small segment of allocated visitors' seating in 107/108, not labeling the entire section as such.Quote:

Based on some other photos I've found, there are definitely Tulsa fans sitting in the 107/108 sections, so I think I'm right about there just being a small designated "Visiting Team" area ... probably for Will Call tickets.
This looks like a pre-renovation picture, and from the number of color-coordinated people on the right side of the picture, I'd say the band was in 135. Based on your picture, I'd say put them in the smack middle of the away side of the stadium.Quote:

EDIT - Actually, those look like tubas in the lower left which would place the band in 135 or 136 or so.
