You honestly asked that question to this group?? JK
Happen to be in school 83-88 and remember exactly what you are talking about. That is when we first started having to pay extra $5/game for "reserved seats" and the "slot system" was installed by academic level.
I happen to know a little about the fire marshal requirements and it is simple as this - it is all about exits and exit capacity. NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code) is the governing document. You are not going to get special "exemptions" around occupancy requriements with the State. I have no doubt that we exceed the capacity requriements at any given big game because the number of people that "sneek" into the game without being accounted for are probably on the order of a thousand.

Tennessee added 7,000 "seats" by repainting seat markers in the 90's.

The only way you could stand in there was on the seat and the ground, or sideways.

Thanks

Really appreciate the insight on the FM's code. But again, if someone is only looking it in SS macro terms, the concern hasn't gone away. The exits used by those concentrated in the NW corner won't be the same ones used by the "bald spot".

Same concern just slightly smaller in scope.
