State has fans that complain about the lack of general admission seating. All of the chairbacks are sold though season tickets. GA can sit on one of the three berms. (record crowd is 16,423--I was there!)
Some have suggested that State put some bleachers in so the GA people have a place to sit. They do make some nice bleachers with color, I believe South Carolina has them. When full, you can't tell people are sitting on bleachers anyway.
There are at least 2,000 on the waiting list for chairback season tickets. State could build a few new upper and lower deck chairback sections and sell them out as season tickets immediately.
That still wouldn't help the GA fans. Plus, I doubt a baseball expansion is due soon since the stadium is new and we have other sports needing facilities and donor $ needing to go to NIL.
We could put some colored bleachers in a couple places in right field or one or two of the berms down the lines and they would probably stay full with GA fans for every SEC game.

I don’t pretend to know the solution but I can tell you the general admission thing is definitely a problem for those who aren’t generational fans. I wasn’t alive when the waiting lists for chairbacks started building up. I don’t have friends or family that have had seats or LFL rigs for years. And a number of people are in the same boat.
Like I said, haves and have nots.
