Kaimin gives 'The Zoo' its due
Today, it was the Kaimin's turn to run an article on UM's resurrected student section. One notable tidbit: O'Day said there are about 375 seats available on the east side, overflow will go to the North side of the second level. 375 seats. We're not going to be needing those. Yeah, we'll be packing those bleachers full. Two, three to a "seat." Fire hazard? Psh. You want a fire hazard? Try 800 disgruntled students stuck in the nosebleeds.
Another thing worth noting, one strong student turnout alone doesn't give us back our seats.

Tinkle, who played for the Grizzlies in the ’80s, during the height of The Zoo, agreed that it would be good to have students back along the court, but cautioned that the decision to move them back there permanently will not be based just on Friday’s turnout.Seriously though. We gotta cram at least 425-500 in that section. Students, disregard the seats behind you. The area in front of them is not yours and yours alone. Plus, if you're sitting, I swear to God I'll do my best to find someone who will stand directly in front of you. Not a row down. Their ass will be right in your face.
“They’re going to have to show up, give us the support throughout the rest of the year when they’re in the end zones,” Tinkle said. “And maybe the powers that be will make that decision down the road.”
