The north end zone is where student season ticket holders sit, (fraternities and SWARM next to the band). Then the south end zone under the scoreboard is distributed weekly for free to non student season ticket holders. I can't remember the last time free tickets sold out, maybe only when uga visits is when those sell out.
Thank you for clarification...I did not know the difference in sections
You bought a seat, not a place to stand. If football games were meant for standing, they wouldn’t put seats in the stadium. You have no right to stand all game and diminish someone else’s enjoyment. You want to stand, buy a seat in the last row. Otherwise be respectful of those around you.
That’s what it looks like when you pull up the map. There’s no way all of the upper section is sold out. Lots of openings available.
I stand. But when it’s warranted, not every play. My knees and back would never survive a full game. I cheer plenty loudly on my *** as well as on my feet.
I think I bought SWARM for 2 of my 5 seasons - the other 3, we just claimed south endzone seats and would sneak into SWARM since it's just such a better experience in the North endzone. Apparently this strategy is still pretty commonplace from some reading on the Georgia Tech subreddit, so don't be surprised if South is still pretty empty on Saturday and the North is packed to the gills.
I guess football games are not for fat people either since they make the seats so dang tiny.
Sounds like a personal problem. Perhaps if you dont want anyone standing in front of you, you should buy a ticket on the front row.
Yeah, good one.
I may have snuck into swarm as a graduate a few times for that reason.
well they only put real seats in the club section, sooooooooo
I know I travel to any GT away game in the North East that are within a 5 hour drive. Its a lot longer drive to Atlanta from Boston.
Imagine a Horseshoe Stadium without the Upper North and South stands. Sometimes you have to go back, to really move forward.Just need them to figure out how to be college basketball fans
On the real though, our student section is one of the best in college football if we're measuring by engagement/noise/staying til the end. The main issue people bring up is the south endzone but that really has more to do with GTAA offering too much supply for our student body population. The general need to downsize Bobby Dodd is a tired discussion on here though. Maybe I'm off here but I don't think anybody is sitting in those seats, student or not. It's a terrible spot to watch a game from - too low/shallow, bad scenery skyline-speaking, no jumbotron, horrible concessions, etc.
Yeah I don’t stand when it’s not warranted either, but a big third down when people are standing and getting loud, I’m not sitting down and missing out on the energy to please someone else. They can look at the video board.
I’ve long been a proponent of standing only sections and seated sections. There are easy ways to accommodate everyone. I get that there are people who want to stand the whole game. I can’t do that. But I do stand on 3rd (or 4th) down and when we want to get extra loud. I stand and celebrate when they play the Ramblin’ Wreck or Up With the White and Gold. Not a fan of the Budweiser song, but I know people love it, so I stand.
