I thought that section, which is generally always empty outside of big games, was reserved for high school coaches throughout the state. Feel like I've read that somewhere before.

TDGAF will be feeling the pain soon enough when the stadium expands, demand shrinks as supplies rise and several fans realize they needn't pay TDGAF and LSU fees to attend only the good games and stop paying crazy money for Furman and Towson.

Yes...when Dinardo was coaching. Since Saban arrived, high school coaches are in the upper deck.

The argument that many students cram into the lower levels, and that leaves a empty section up top may be true for some games, but that wasn't the case last Saturday. The student section, other than the very bottom, was sparse all the way until about the time the Tigers came out onto the field immediately prior to openeing kickoff. Even after everyone arrived, there was plenty of space in the student section. You didn't have 25 people crammed onto a row that holds 20 seats like you sometimes do get. It was more like 16-17 people for a row of 20 seats.

That's an awful lot of high school coaches who don't want to come to the game for free! Actually I think I heard something similar but doubt it's that many seats. That's gotta be 400 or 500 empty seats or more.
