UNC's 'Experimental Suites' Might Be the Most Embarrassing Idea of the Year

If I was looking to buy North Carolina season tickets and someone pitched me on one of these "experimental suites", I think I'd cuss them out.

What is the idea here, exactly? So you're buying a "suite" of wooden bar chairs far less comfortable than the permanent seats right next to them — credit to UNC for having padded seats, that's a win — in a bad location where nobody was buying tickets, but you get a little bit of shade from a glorified beach tent? At least they also look terrible and embarrassing.

Calling this a suite should be grounds for a lawsuit. Imagine someone inviting you to a football game and saying they had tickets in a suite before leading you to this piece of shit. I'd turn around and leave. The only saving grace for these seats would be if there were free food and drinks, but by the looks of it, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that's not the case.

I'm also not completely sold on the scaffolding holding these bad boys up. UNC is a good school, but I'm seeing No. 68 in the country in engineering. Not sure I'd be so eager to have 10 people hop up there for the first game.

I want to speak with whoever buys these seats and get an idea of what they liked about them. Going to seven North Carolina football games is punishment enough, don't make it any worse than it needs to be.
