3.) Start selling beer. Not hard liquor, just beer. The revenue and attendance will show up in droves. I hesitate to spend $8 for a beer at Turner Field, but I would gladly pay that same price without question for the sheer novelty of drinking a cold one in Sanford.


I agree with this 100%. One of the main reasons for students not staying the whole game/ or not going at all is b/c they want to be drinking while they watch the game. So they leave and go downtown to the bars.


I haven't looked this up, but do any SEC schools sell beer at there games? If so, why in the hell are we not?

Enough students drink in the game that I don't think this is a big deal. It's more of us just having a much better bar scene than most places. They can go and drink in an air conditioned bar with their friends watching the game on TV.

They need to get the frick over it. Pardon my language. If you need someone to hold your hand and give you thunder sticks so maybe you might fill 50% of your allotted sections, the problem is YOU. UGA does plenty to cater to the students, shakers and special music, along with the band RIGHT BESIDE YOU. They play that music Imperial March on 3rd down and it is plenty for my 20 year old self to yell.

I would kill to be at UGA, walking past that stadium everyday, and having the privilege to attend the games and call my self a UGA student. I can do nothing but shake my head when I look up in that northeast corner 300 level and see only a 1/4th of it filled. News like this only further proves that, overall, UGA students are pathetic.

ETA: Improvements can be made, but will it make the big difference we need? I personally have never been to an away game, so I can't compare them.
