[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 79451, member: 231"] If they are not getting rid of all student tickets or if they are going unused then first come first serve makes sense. Light a fire under the student body. As for the non-football loving students I enjoyed the footage of that clinic they had for foreign born students. The team can really play a big role on campus as ambassadors for getting the students more interested in attending games. Heck get out on the quad and start some flag football games with the students or gather foreign born soccer lovers and play soccer games with them. The nature of Tech though is such that realism is useful on this score. It is so truly a unique world-class institution that there is little chance for making a sea change in the study/work habits of large portions of the student body such that they will get to the games. Now . . . the greek houses should be more "captive audiences" and more liable to peer pressure and persuasion to get in the stands. Finally, if I am right that students really pack closer together in their sections like people at rock concerts then that means far more "seats" will be accounted for then it [I]looks [/I]like to a camera because they are not standing (let alone sitting) in their assigned spots. You do notice that it is [I]always [/I]in the corners of the student sections right? That suggests everyone moves forward and towards the center and doesn't stay in assigned seats. My only thoughts on fixing that is finding out what "standing room only" rules would allow for in these student sections and either turn the whole section into that and allowing more leeway to just cram bodies on into the section, or try and determine how the students are occupying the space [I]naturally [/I]and then double sell tickets for certain rows and sections so that they get filled in more completely. Maybe further subdivide the sections so that kids can cram up like they do but you still have pathways that ensure safe evacuations. There will be safety and fire marshal issues here that need to be addressed. [/QUOTE]
