I'd eliminate every bit of reserved student section as well as Section 233-236. Let them pack that area in for a few seasons before giving them anymore sections.


I agree. The problem is that once you take away student seating and sell those seats to the public, you can't give them back.

"The student section is the largest area where people don't show up," Broussard said. "If the level of play is not attractive, they will not come. It is interesting to see that that the club level and the suites have the highest attendance level.
