re: Nick is back.......

Greg Byrne changed the student section from having about 1/4 of the court side lower level seats from half - court to behind the basket and then roughly the second level the same. The total number of seats were about the same (3,000). The new set up is they are in end of the coliseum and they are behind where we shoot in the second half (stupid). They should be behind the goal where our opponents shoot in the second half. Plus the noise the students make is just not the same when it comes from one end of the Hump.
The old section was way more engaged with the game than they are now.
The other issue is none of the season ticket people come to the games so those seats are now empty most of the time and it makes us look bad with a sparse crowd even though the tickets were sold. If those seats had students in them then it would look so much better especially on TV.
