Up In the Cheap Seats

The Coronado Performing Arts Center, Rockford, Illinois, Row NN, Seat 13. Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick was an honorary member of the committee to restore the theater, and donated an undisclosed amount toward its renovation. When asked what he wanted to be written on a plaque to be displayed in the lobby, he initially didn't want to be recognized, but then remembered a first kiss as a kid way up in the balcony and asked for the chair instead.
