I think it would be much louder if they put all the students in the end zone under the bridge. I know there's already a section there but if they moved the lower deck seats on the other side to where the visitors sit and filled the upper deck on that half instead of the other I think you'd have a huge source of noise projecting away from the open endzone that let's sound out.

As for the end zone, enclosing it doesn't remove the stadium from the center of the campus. You could easily enclose it and leave a view of some nature. The main reason we don't need to enclose it is because we are barely selling out most of our games now.
first and foremost, you already mentioned the big point that we would have tons of empty seats if we enclosed. I mean, hypothetically we could add like 30,000 more seats and be the biggest in the country, but we already have enough issues getting people to come before kickoff as is.
Second, can you imagine the absolute logistical clusterfrick if we were to undertake this? There's basically 2 scenarios you could do. Remove the bridge (sanford drive) and scoreboard and fully enclose the west endzone. This is impossible, it just can't be done. Other option is adding like a little section that connects the northwest side and the southwest side, leaving a gap in the middle. This would still leave the road in tact and the view from the bridge. However, it'd probably look weird as shite and you'd have to close down one of the busiest main roads on campus for who knows how long. It's just not feasible.
IF we were to expand again in the future, they should just continue to wrap the 600s around to the skyboxes. That would make it more symmetrical and (IMO) aesthetically pleasing. It'd also bump us up well into the six figures seating wise.

I like having two distinct sections. We have student sections next to both endzones. It gives options. The students in the west endzone are usually huge dicks from my experience, so if I'm belligerent, not a bad place. If I just want to watch the game in peace, the lower level would do fine. If I wanted to black out and drink, upper deck was great!

Also its the easiest place for non-students to sneak into.

I'm not talking about removing the lower or upper sections...just moving them to their parallel spot on the other side so it still has the different priority sections but forms one big area screaming away from the open part of the stadium

I kinda like that idea.

Like I would enjoy us seeing moving 109-114 to 144, 101-105, and the moving the uppers to 301-307

I would kill for one contiguous student section like AU, PSU, etc.
Three separate ones, IMO, has and always will be dumber than shite. It'd be a pain the arse to make happen but idc. I liked the idea of saying frick the visitors and throwing them all up top.

Have small pockets of away fans spread throughout the stadium. Never have more than 100 in a single area lol.
Not sure how I feel about the location of the one large student section. It's a nice concept but the location you mentioned just feels odd to me. I can't explain it.

This is our mistake. Students haven't done anything worthy of having seating options. Make them populate one part of the stadium and be done with it (plus, it's the section closest to the main student entrance anyway.

Yea and what I found before I came to UGA is when you have only one student section it becomes first come first serve for EVERYONE, not 3 choices so little pricks can take their time and do decently seating-wise, and so people generally have to get their earlier if they wanna see shite or sit with their faggy friends.

I mean what I'm saying is literally the exact same seats on the other side of the 50. Only issue I guess would be students getting in the endzone and then mingling over but if they hired a couple of extra ushers in between the two they could stop it.

I like it. Keep the frats in the upper decks and make all the students sit together. Why isn't this happening? Let's move people!

Yup. Auburn does it really well. They occupy numerous sections on the lower level and all their students are centralized. Plus we need to give shakers to all the students like they did for LSU. Looked really good and adds something to the energy of the game.
