    The one "bad" thing about the student section is that it makes our attendance look like a lot less. This being cause by the sardine like state of it

    I am also very pleased about the increase in student participation over the last several years. The "sardine" effect is what they like. Everyone wants to get toward the lower center of the stands. Our students have always had the best seats since JAS opened -- in the middle of the field in the lower section. How many schools can boast that?

    On first read that sounds good, but at schools that draw big those seats bring big money. We need big money.

    Get the money in another way besides messing with one of the few current/future student traditions. The student attendance is the best and most consistent thing we have going. Don't even discuss messing with that until we fill up some of the vacant areas.

    Hey one of the things I loved about going to a game at tech as a student was being able to sit low on the forty and shout for the bulldogs. That is something that you dont get anywhere else. Now I know those seats at other places bring in big money, but at this time there are to many other empty seats to be worried about before we start disturbing the student section. Even when we do fill up the Joe I think it would be great if we leave the students there to have that experince they cant get anywhere else.

    Mad Dawg is wrong on this comment. Snapdawg is a lot of things, but he ain't no dumb arse. Just for the record.

    So you agree with him that it's a great idea to clear the students out an sell those tix for "big money"?

    Snapdawg has a habit of talking down to anybody who doesn't agree with him. I can play that game too. It's not neccessary to call someone a dumbass if you don't agree, but Snapdawg tends to do it often and look down his nose while doing it. I've had enough of his BS.

    We don't have to do it yet, but we want to be in a bigger league which requires bigger money and if we are succesful, the day will come when the stadium is selling out and when that happens, we will be like every big time program, those seats will become reserved, chair back seats selling for $600 To $1000 per year.
    It is not my intention to talk down to anyone. What I try to do is stimulate discussion from differing points of view.
