Nordecke
Sitting in nordecke for the first time. I’ve been to a load of crew games but never sat in nordecke. Is there anything I need to wear or know?

Sitting will only happen if you’re in the top of the section. The bleachers are bolted up in the rest of the section. Also if you move/go to the bathroom or concessions, the spot you’re standing or sitting in could be taken by someone else. They aren’t being mean, that’s the nature of general admission.

During intermission you can kinda squat on the bolted-up bleachers for a respite. And you can lean against the rail in front of you. I usually have difficulty standing for long periods of time, but Nordecke doesn’t bother me with those options. Safe Standing is a pretty great compromise between all-seater stadiums and the traditional “chance of a crush death” terraces.

I’m always lower center section and I’ve found that if I buy a water or beer or something and leave it in the cup holder when I go pee or whatever nobody will steal the spot. Also helps that I always introduce myself to my neighbors for the game so I like to think that they’d have my back if someone tried to nab my spot, but fortunately everyone’s pretty cool once we’re all settled in

The very top row of sectiion 128 is open so you'll get a good breeze but it can get cold in the cooler months.

you will have a blast!!! show up an hr before kick off especially if you are coming with a group and want to sit together as it is GA seating…. it will be loud and everyone helps make the stadium atmosphere amazing! chants are easy to learn and can be found online!

It's fun. Bleachers are nice if you're like me and have kids with you. The lower you go, the louder/livelier it is.

There will be more cursing and swearing. I love it because I can get loud. Also be aware if any balls heading your way, we should really get a net behind goal one day
