How did SRO work at the Aud?  You bought a SRO ticket for a reduced price, and were allowed access to that area up there where you literally had no seat, but could crowd around and peer over the concrete wall at the back of the last row of oranges?

That's how I sort of remember it up there.

 

I wonder how many of those tickets were allotted to a Braves or Sabres game.

 

I can't imagine a team doing something like that now.

 That's exactly how it worked. The sideline SRO was right across from the vendors - made for a crush at intermissions. It was easy for me - being tall - I could see over anyone. There was a lot of position jockeying.
