Called 1-800-THE-HERD today. Super friendly and helpful gal took my ticket order, 2 seats on the aisle row 12 section 105 - so I am right next to the sections 103 &101 designated as "visitors" section. She said they would get in the mail today.
Really looking forward to this - never been to the "Joan" (have oggled at it from the road across the river many times).
I've "Herd" (facepalm) several different accounts of the place; some horrible some not. I will say this though: (and it pains me to have to stomach complimenting Marshall) they have pound for pound one of the better atmospheres I've seen at a college stadium. The fans are usually all on top of what happens in the game (first downs, touchdowns*, etc) and pretty loud.
*It is fun to watch that when they do the "thunderclap" (a clap for every point after a score) they tend to lose track after 14-17 points. I'm not one to make fun of rythym, but still draws a chuckle. Hopefully, we don't have to worry about it too much.
EDIT: please note, Marshall lurkers, that the insult parts were in jest.
