We've had UofH football tickets at the original Robertson Stadium for years, but this past season was played at Reliant while the new UofH stadium was under construction. To prepare season ticket holders for the purchasing process - quite the ordeal - they offered tours since the new stadium is very different than the old one.

They've changed the orientation from north/south to east/west and this provides a view of downtown between the scoreboard and the upper seats on the west end.

It was fun to see the progress and get an idea of where we wanted to buy our seats. Also, any excuse to wear a hard hat is a good one.

This is the student beam ... they let students sign the red beam before installing it. That will be something those students will come back to see for many years to come.

Ticket sales were handled via a lottery where Cougar Pride donors were ranked based on total dollars contributed in the last year. Then we were issued a password, assigned a 5 minute time slot on a specific day to log in and purchase the best of what was left. Since we were farther down the list, we didn't get a loge box, but were able to snag some great seats on the lower level in the section where we wanted to be. This is pretty close to our view ... we're a little closer to the field.
