The idea of paying good $$ to sit on a bleacher next to random people, and wait in long arse lines for concessions and bathrooms, just isn't for me anymore.
College stadiums waited way too long to up the amenities in their stadiums like pro stadiums have. Colleges were more worried about bigger than better, and it is biting them on the arse.
Take Ole Miss for example, we just spent a shite ton of $$ bowling in our North Endzone with nothing but bleachers. We don't even need that thing now. We could have left it empty and just been a horseshoe and seat about 55k. That is all we need.

Might be desperation given how bad we are right now but got an email last week from the Arkansas athletic department with the best deal I've ever seen us have - a ticket to two SEC games (Auburn & Mississippi State) plus one OOC game of your choice all for $125. Granted that was for upper level, but still. Got slightly better seats for me and my dad to all three for around $300 after handling fees.
Now they'll probably be cheaper on Stubhub by the time those games get here but seems we are trying to come up with more affordable packages.

That's because of Bjork's bait and switch on the donation drive versus the final product. Had they spent the money and done the NEZ the same that the SEZ used to be like, it would have been much nicer, in the shade, and more uniform. By going cheap with the bleachers, they spent a lot of money to have some really shitty seats.
