Didn't know that. Do those get reported in attendance numbers?
Sort of getting sidetracked here.
My point is, you may have increased in number of students allowed in the student section, however percentage wise, it isn't because your fandom is just increasing. It is because they increased the amount allowed in from a small % of student population to little more respectable number. If Auburn was at 45% student section/student body capacity and increased it to 60%, their student attendance would go up, but it isn't because students are becoming more interested or anything.
It really is funny though watching aTm fans on here and the ones I know in the real world circle the wagons any time something comes out that doesn't make them seem like complete super fans.

Um, it was a pretty small jump. We still set our record in 2010 before the official jump with temporary seating.

that. Do those get reported in attendance numbers?
quote:so the fact that we sell out the aloted student tickets ever year, and every week people show up to the game regardless of opponent, is all because we have a large student body? the point we are making isn't that our student section is so large, but its because every week, regardless of the opponent, we have at least 95% of allotted tickets sold. that's what we are talking about. we aren't talking about the size, we are saying that while other places are being affected by a dwindling student section, we aren't having that problem
, you may have increased in number of students allowed in the student section, however percentage wise, it isn't because your fandom is just increasing. It is because they increased the amount allowed in from a small % of student population to little more respectable number.
quote:wut? i don't give two shits if someone else has a so called better "school size ratio" than us. all i know is week in and week out, our student section is basically full regardless of opponent and regardless of start time

Dude, we're Aggies, circling the wagons is what we do.
Also, circling the jerks. You know, around jars.
