That's not completely accurate. The gold seats from the 20 to the 5 and up about 20 rows are the paid greek seats. Above that is ordinary sideline seats. The empty section next to the gold seats at the top is professional school students, i.e., law school, nursing school, med school etc.. Below those seats are the general admission greek seats. Some of the greeks overflow into the professional student section above. The section with students from the professional schools are never going to be filled because, a) it's roped off and some of those student go sit in other sections, but it is difficult for general students to get in to that section, and b) you are never going to have all of those students show up when most of them live in New Orleans.

Thanks. Great clarification.

I could see the sections roped off (professional schools), and didn't know if those were greek. When I sit on the West side, I definitely can see the Greeks sit in a small part of the gold seats. The jumbotron cameras love this section.

Yea, the greek students pay quite a bit extra for those seats as opposed to the ordinary greek student seating.

Also, as far as the professional schools section, most of the schools have an allotted number of tickets and they have their students put in requests for tickets the week of the game. Unfortunately, most of the tickets go unused except for the big games. As for the law school, they allocate tickets for the entire season to most law students, but most of the law students never go to the games.
