if this is what the student section looks like at kickoff.
The students are a great part of the Tiger Stadium atmosphere. However, when large sections are missing, don't think TAF doesn't see that.
I know this topic has been discussed ad-nauseum, but I'm going to get my $0.02 in.
Admins, anchor away if you want to.

In a world full of student attendance threads.. I agree with this point. It should be done. Is this actually happening or is it your opinion?

But students gots to tailgate. Those 7 afternoons are the only times in the entire school year that they have a chance to find an alcoholic beverage. They can't be expected to be in their seats in time for kickoff when there are so many games of beer pong that have to be finished.

While I agree this section always stands out, it's mainly because the students pack in the lower sections and leave these empty. People don't like to sit next to the older season ticket holders next to there because they bitch and moan. But if they are going to never use it, take it away. They need to move the Greek tickets from the sideline to the end zone and sell those if they really need the money.

This is just a guess on my part, but I think the students are attending. They're just cramming themselves into the sections closer to the west sideline. I remember when I was a student there were always people sitting in the aisles closer to the band. Maybe that's not happening, and they're just not showing up, but my guess is the actual number of students attending is more than what you'd think it is based on that picture.

Ive always thought there were too many student seats (14,700). AD needs to keep demand high. When something is limited like that students will fill it up

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.

Mo $$$
Not a tough decision

There is already a system in place to track student attendance. You get points for showing up and thats gets you better priority for the following year.

I do like that the picture was taken before the band sat down to exaggerate the emptyness though

Completely remove student tickets. Make the students go through the process of getting tickets like everyone else. That way they have to actually work for it, and the ones who do get tickets will go to the game. Mo money, mo problems.

...and they should.
The student section is obviously too large. And, you have people on the waiting list to buy tickets.
This should be common sense.

So it's okay for people with 50 yard line tickets to stay home and not come to the games, but this is not okay for a student?

Wrong to single out the students when there is a global tiger stadium attendance issue.
I am a FORMER student.

I agree to sell it, but for the people that buy those seats, I suggest hearing protection.

Are posters this fricking stupid? Literally 100+ new threads on the same topic over the past 4 days.

the students tend to pack into the lower rows of the student section much tighter than other parts of the stadium, frequently in the aisles and standing sideways to fit. because of them packing in so tightly lower down the top ends up being empty. its not that the tickets aren't being used, but since the student section is general admission they are being used in different areas. I would imagine if you let the same number of students in and also sold those seats to non-students there would probably be a fire code issue for not having enough room for each person in attendance.
eta: and for those suggesting that they should be sold as season tickets, think about how big of an empty section there would be if all of the "season ticket" holders in attendance were to sit as general admission, i would bet the entire east upper would be empty based on how the east lower looked on saturday.. there were entire rows of 10-15 seats empty in the second quarter.

Most students have no idea the student section extends that far out
ETA: I have Greek tickets now but my freshmen year we always squeezed in the 219-220's.

No they won't. They can't legally. TAF is only allowed ownership of a certain percentage of the lower bowl.
LSU AD office on the other hand, sells student seats every year once the students start the year with there normal poor attendance
Posted on 10/17/13 at 8:56 am to evil cockroach
I think they should allow only graduating seniors and graduate students.
Sell the rest of the seats to people who are willing to act their age...
