Too many self entitled brats from up North who don’t give a damn. I was there 08-12 and remember exactly what he’s talking about cheering during the Traditions video and the player intros. We went ballistic during that video and then we went fricking nuts when Julio introduced himself, same for all those guys. I guess that’s because Bama dominance was still new to us coming off of 1997-2007

That was the least attended game id seen there in 9 seasons. Student section stood out because it is a large block, but throughout, it was poorly attended.

Paul Bryant Jr doesn’t even personally attend most games anymore

The Tradition video was the highlight of the day during my undergrad Shula years.

There were glaring empty sections at Jordan Hare for LSU and Arkansas. Malzahn just doesn't have the guts to call them out.

Alabama is at least doing something about it. They're reducing seating capacity with the renovations, mostly from the student section.

I’ve been to every home game except 1 since 2009. Never been late to start and never left early no matter how hot or how much of blow out it was.

I don’t even go into the Stadium Club at half time.

So whoever Nick is talking too, like Bob Dylan said, “It ain’t me.”

Fact is with nice TVs and all games being televised most people would rather tailgate and watch all the games or stay at home and watch them. Combine this with the rise of numerous sports bar franchises that show games and the appeal of fighting a crowd and sitting in an uncomfortable bleacher seat for 3-4 hours isn’t that appealing.

I used to attend almost every home game at MSU. Now I might go to 1 or 2 a year

Fraternities have blocked of seating in the end zone that is specifically for them until 15/20 minutes before the game.


That was one of the best perks of being Greek at LSU. Reserved seats with a great view for very little cost.

Winning regularly kills the drama and makes going less interesting.

Yeah, it's a problem everywhere not just Bama. Like any issue in the NCAA Saban is the first to talk about it.

The non block seating sections by the band on the sideline and Upper Deck weren't even close to full.

There is nothing special about beating the brakes off of LaLa at 11am. Nothing.

Schedule better.

It's funny how he can trash his own fanbase and they rush right back to worship where he stands and say "yes sir."
