Air Force - treats visitors fairly well, putting them symmetric with
            the falcon booster club
 
Army - (2 years ago) last section on the end about half way up
       I stood in back and the view was much better
 
Bradley Center - the 4 teams had the 4 corners of the arena ( they
                 weren't bad seats)
 
Colorado College - right behind the bench,  not very good, but then
                   there are few good seats at the broadmoor.
 
Cornell - (as of 1958 when I was a student) people sat ANYWHERE
 
Denver - end zone, behind the corner
 
Merrimack - (2 years ago) in the freezer somewhere.  The crowd was so
            small one could go anywhere
 
Minnesota - (last year) back room at sturbs was great,  seats in old
            mariucci were right behind the bench with impossible
            visibility, but good folk smuggled me in to their section
            (thanks carol, erik, paula, and pam)
 
Northeastern - (2 years ago)  behind bench, high up, good visibility,
               crowd sparse enough to fit anywhere
 
Notre Dame - (3 years ago)  behind the bench, but there was space
             enough to move up and get better angles
 
Vermont - (2 years ago) on the side down past the goal line
 
Wisconsin - (2 years ago) behind the bench,  seemed like good seats
