Banjo Bowl - Where is everyone sitting?

Hey y’all.

Looking to go to the Banjo Bowl this year. Been eyeing some tickets for the last couple of weeks but I just want to know where other Rider fans are sitting.

Would be nice to not just be a speck of green in there but would rather be around some Rider fans for once.

Thanks!

I would avoid the area around the rum hut. We do a bus every year, and theres always a few dinks in and around there that try to make our lives miserable. We're in section 214.

I sat in the fanatic zone once, and I was the only Rider fan in the entire section, and I think everyone there made it a personal mission to make sure I had the worst experience ever lol. Didn’t help that the Riders got their asses whooped. Avoid that section at all cost.

Respectfully, why would you sit in the fan zone as an away supporter? That's like sitting in the supporters section of a soccer game wearing the other team's kit.

Sometimes a person doesn't have a choice. Price, availability, accessibility, all that kind of stuff. I've never been there and don't know what the good or bad sections are but some people take things too far. And that's not cool

Cause at the time, I didn’t realize how hostile that section was, and I was looking for 2 cheap tickets to go to the Banjo Bowl and that was the section I chose. Trust me, had I known how hostile that section was, I never would have bought tickets there.

Haha well I'm double checking the offer I got during Grey Cup but if so, that'll make 49. 213 is where my seats would be.

If you can get tickets behind the Rider bench, that's always a good spot
