Temporary bleachers in the endzone

[DarrenTheGreek]

I apologize if this has been covered before but what was the purpose of the temporary bleachers in the endzone last Saturday? I was surprised that it was only Gopher fans sitting in there. The attendance was still announced at less than 50k so was this group counted in that? Were they alumni for homecoming or just the athletic departments attempt at squeezing out an extra nickel for the Husker game?

I think those were seats for alumni band/cheer squad, but I'm not sure.

Looked to me like it was the alumni band and cheerleaders sitting there....

That's what the sign said at the bottom of the stairs.
