Its dumb to have upper deck seating for students. They should eliminate that immediately.

If the university's see a way to charge more or make more $$ then it will happen. It's greed. I mean right now LSU only I say only profits about $3 mil for each home game.

I'm curious. How many of the SEC schools split their student sections into upper and lower decks?
Do any other SEC schools seat their students in the upper decks?

How does the student seating work at Bama? You just get a ticket and sit wherever you can find within the allotted areas?

Should Student Seating be Reduced for Donor/Public Tickets?
In just about every case, from a pure financial standpoint (which is the most important factor when it comes to winning), the answer is yes.
I'm personally on board with LSU cutting their student section in half......I mean hell it is half empty at most games for the majority of them anyway.

I know state and tennessee do. That's all I know for sure but I'm sure more do.

I think LSU should take away half of the Greek Seats, they are the last ones in and thhe first to leave. If they dont get a greek seat, they can easily get a regular gen admission student ticket for the year. The greek seats at LSU are some of the best seats in the house too.

No we have block seating. The Greeks and some other clubs get reserved seats right behind the endzone that stay reserved up to 45 mins before kickoff. Once that 45 mins hits. Any seat is fair game. Although I wouldn't want to sit with the Greeks if I wasn't one.

The Greeks at State are probably the students that care most about MSU football and we get good seats but we also go in an hour to an hour and a half early.

I think most SEC schools have similar policies that with loopholes can be circumvented

My sister says that because most games are blowouts all kinds of students are more into the social excercise of tailgating/partying than watching every detail of the game.
Greeks hurt the situation just as much as they help it...
We are spoiled by our success. Not a horrible problem to have.

I thought they were doing away with block seating? Anyway, I've heard of a lot people that have caught a lot of shite from the Greeks for trying to sit in the Greek section even after the seats are no longer reserved.

Carolina has an overflow student section in the upperdeck.
The student tickets are general admission but will say lower deck and upper deck on them (I think, I graduated in 2011). Lower deck students get a bracelet, so they can be differentiated from upper deck students.
I don't think it works really well, and most of those upper deck students end up cramming into the lower deck anyway.
We don't do that reserved seating crap. If you want a good seat, get to the game early.

Check and check. Our 30,000 student "seats" (the 12th Man doesn't sit) are divided among three decks.
Student seating (maroon & turquoise sections) at Kyle Field:

quote:
Pickering expressed pleasure in Texas A&M's diligence to preserve the integrity of one of its most cherished traditions.
"This is a remarkable sign of Texas A&M's continued commitment to students and the tradition of Kyle Field being the home of the Twelfth Man," Pickering stated in his press release.
Jason Cook, Texas A&M vice president for marketing and communications, wished to remind Aggies that, while a movement of student seating was not preferable, it will affect a relatively small portion of a potentially growing student section.
"I think it's important to know that we allocate over 30,000 seats to students currently, and the issue that we're talking about right now affects two sections of Kyle Field and statistically 1,400 people," Cook said. "The administration is making a commitment that we will not lose student seats throughout this process. In fact, in the diagrams we discussed [Monday], students will get an increase of seats."

At UF, you pick up your tickets for that weeks game Tuesday-Thursday. Your ticket is for a particular seat just like any other ticket in the stadium, and changes randomly the next week. Some games you get great seats, maybe other times not so great (although there really isn't any bad seat in the student section).
If you don't pick up your ticket for that weeks game, they are first offered to students who did not win the student ticket lottery and are then offered to the general public.

How do you guys assign those seats?
Very cool that you can get students to put asses in 30K seats for every game......Tiger Stadium would be a ghost town if we had 30K student seats

Yea like I said, I would never sit there if i wasn't greek. It looks like a horrible time.
Best seats in the house though

I think that if a student purchases a student ticket package, their account should be charged one face value ticket for every game they do not attend.
