BOL Round Table

That's the Greek section. I use to sit by the band with the majority of other students...being the loudest part of the stadium.

Sorry, the top 12 rows of the upper deck that were never inhabited are not the Greek section.

You know.... it just might be that some of those kids left the cold high seats up there for the lower bowl at half. Just saying.

Half the student seats are from the 25 to the corner of the endzone. They were 100% full most of the game. But, unsurprisingly, no one posts pictures of that.

Why does a new thread have to be started about this. Why could you not post these pictures in the other student flaming thread?

Who cares if some students left the upper deck for the lower bowl? That's not the point. The point is the students obviously don't need that many seats because they don't use them. Those seats should be sold to non-students. It's as simple as that.

There was always a massive sense of entitlement from the older UA fans who remember the Bryant era. I am a little surprised to see students become so accustomed to and board with blow outs this quickly.

Some of you guys need to get a life man. The reason the upper deck is empty is because the students that have those tickets crowd down in the lower level. They can only sell tickets for the amount of seating. Some of you guys are butt hurt.

TY for talking with some thought and sense, instead of stupid defensive rhetorical mudslinging.

We need to ALL have the common goal of FILLING THIS STADIUM, and KEEPING IT FILLED. EVERY game, EVERY second. No excuses, if we expect the players to play 60 minutes no matter what. NO excuses.

Now we just need to figure out HOW to fix it.

Does anyone have any actual numbers on student attendance before we skewer the students? Or does it just "look bad to you?"

The "the upper deck wasn't full" is NOT a legit argument agaisnt the students... maybe the University's seating planning.

Put it this way:
-For easy math, let's say there are 10,000 seats in the Student Section, 6,000 lower, 4,000 upper.
-The University can ONLY let 10,000 students into the game (Fire Code).
-I can tell you from my time as a student, we packed ourselves in pretty tightly.
-So for the sake of argument, let's just say 100% of the tickets get used.
-So let's say 8,000 students pack themselves into the lower bowl... it's at 133% capacity.
-That leaves 2,000 students for the 4,000 upper deck seasts... it looks half empty.

I'm not defending the students, as it's pretty obvious that they're a PART of the problem. But they are only a part. This asinine split seating arrangement has got to go, along with the block seating for the Greek section.
