Alabama Is Auctioning Off Press Box Seats For Western Carolina Game

Have you ever wanted to experience what it's like to sit in the press box of a collegiate game? Alabama is giving you that unique opportunity.

Now I don't really know if it is actually as cool as people would think.

Through Alabama's auction page, you can bid for your chance to sit in the press box with three friends for the small price of $425 as of the time I am writing this post.

Bama is calling this the Press Box Fan Experience.

Here is their description of the event:

Have you ever wanted to experience a football game from the press box? This is your chance to experience the Western Carolina game as a media guest. On November 22, 2014 you and three guests will be able to watch the game from press level, receive all pre-game press materials, and eat with the media in the Bryant-Denny Stadium Press Room.

Now that $425 isn't too much to go to a college football game, but going to see Western Carolina is kind of a drag if you ask me. I would think you could find close seats for that amount of cash.

I'm curious to find out if these people have to abide by all the rules the media does, which means no cheering in the press box. It would be interesting to say the least.

Would you ever want to watch a game from the press box of your favorite team?
