quote:

"I can honestly say I was a little disappointed there weren't more students at the last game," Saban told reporters in Tuscaloosa. "I think we're trying to address that. I don't think they're entitled to anything, either. Me, personally, I think it ought to be first-come, first-serve. If they don't want to come to the game, they don't have to come. But I'm sure there's enough people around here that would like to go to the games, and we'd like for them to come too because they support the players."


quote:

"There's a part of it where other people need to support them too, and there's got to be a spirit that makes it special to play here, because that's what makes it special to be here," Saban said. "And if that's not here, then does it continue to be special to be here or not? That's the question everybody has to ask. I'm asking it right now.


Ed needs to do the same

"Put a better product on the field and people might show up" -dumbass "fans"

Ed O needs to seriously tell it like it is and say the fan support has been objectively shitty this year

They should make the lower bowl general admission

It would never happen but, it would also be refreshing to see games get blacked out due to poor attendance like the NFL does

Nobody wants to see you beat the shite out of JR colleges week after week with a SEC game in between somewhere

It’s a nationwide issue. 2018 students aren’t your 80’s-90’s student sections. Think of how much the internet and technology has changed the way we do things.

Uh, you don't do that if you're Ed O. You just keep your head down and keep working hard to get to the SEC title game, etc. Saban has 5 national titles in the last 9 years. He can get away with that.

Alabama is now 60% out of state students. Many of them are from parts of the country that aren't big football areas and don't really care about the football games except for the tailgating and partying.

its the sorority thots. they go to games, post a few pics/videos on their snap chat stories, then leave at halftime. and then you have some beta males that will also leave with them. happens at every university in america now.

Saban just needs to either put a winning team on the field or just shut up complaining about student attendance.

I’m not a millineal, but the TV experience is too good. Sitting in a college stadium is miserable. Metal bleachers, hot weather, and you never know what drunk a-hole you’ll be stuck next too. With the commercialization, you’re looking at being uncomfortable and not knowing what’s going on half the time for up to 4 hours. No thanks.

Start building stadiums like the NFL. Fewer seats, better comfort, and more amenities.

I wonder how much the piped-in music affects younger crowds. The loud music upstages the game (Bama also has the piped in system) And kids can listen to music with MUCH better sound quality in their cars or in`their apartments.

Some marketing student could probably land a Phd with a thesis on this issue.

The live college football experience is a special thing. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
