Nice job to everyone who emailed facilities

The article says that so many fans emailed University facilities director Gavin Gough the blowtorch link as well as sent messages to Mark Harlan through Twitter that they gave it a try.

And not only has the blowtorch approach worked beautifully, it saved the University hundreds of thousands of dollars from bids they received to either restore the seats or replace them. Power to the people!
Pink seats are red again

Are you telling me Twitter resulted in something good?

[CincyUte]

That’s awesome.  Now they can use the money they saved to replace the bleachers with chairs in the section where I sit.

Now if they’d just put some rubber padding on the arms of the seats I won’t have bruises on my ass from sitting back down after a Utah touchdown.

First-world problems, Tony…

It’s rough.

Introducing new Stadium Girdle™. For people who love their team but hate the metal armrests in seats built for children. GameDay is for hard tailgates, not bruises from hard armrests. Stadium Girdle™. Cheer hard. Live large. Love your seat.
