You have to join a club to increase your chances of getting tickets and then you're given 1/2 season options (4 game package).

traffic
This is only my second year having season tickets. After the Southern and Alabama games last year, where we were stuck on campus trying to get out, I almost didn't want to renew. This year has been better traffic wise, but we barely stay the whole game. Others around us do the same thing.

Back when I was in school the stadium was a lot smaller, so there was not a worry about traffic after the games.
Also, games were a lot shorter, due. To no commercials (no tv)
Fans were a lot drunker - everyone had a flask or bag of whiskey.
Tickets were a lot cheaper, so anyone could afford them….student tickets were $2..
ETA: I have had season tickets for 28 years now and still enjoy Tiger stadium every weekend…there’s no place that I would rather be!

I sit in these seats you describe and I can tell you that you’re 100% wrong.

It was full for Bama last year.
It was.

It was pretty damn full this year for a game vs a 5-4 Florida team too.
I was pretty disappointed at how many empty seats there were, TBH. But the lowers looked pretty darn full. A little more sparse in the uppers.

Yes , in decline. The gold seats look bad on TV. I don't know if the Aggs sell out, but their stadium looks full because the seats are not light colored. We should paint our gold seats a dark shade of purple. Put cardboard COVID cutouts in the upper deck. Sell remaining tickets for $20 ten minutes after kickoff and give 2 free beers with purchase of after kickoff tickets. Give a free beer to everyone in the 4th qtr. We are going to have to be creative. This is not 2003.

With tv coverage so good and bad traffic people just don’t stay whole game. I think scheduling is the worst. A quarter a cupcakes and half are low sec schools like miss state, Arkansas, or Vanderbilt. Only 2-3 games a year are exciting. Also it’s very corporate now like another poster said. It’s not majority blue collar die hard fans like it used to be.

It was pretty full for Arkansas, Auburn and Florida. A&M should be pretty full.
You DOOOO realize that many people leave early solely because of the horrible traffic, right?

Three steps to fix: 1) Reduce capacity to 60,000 2) Double the cost of tickets 3) Cut student seating in half I would include better bathroom and concessions, but we know that will never happen.
It’s amazing you were able to put so much stupidity into so short a post. It’s almost impressive.

Double the cost of tickets
Ive sat just about everywhere in the stadium at one point, and stadium club/suites is the least engaged by far...

Dumbest post of the day; congrats!
#1): so how you gonna do that ? Demolish the upper decks? Just get some gigantic curtains and hide half the seats? “The more the merrier”- fill seats with rowdy fans, not indifferent “observers”
#2): The stadium mystique suffered when higher prices squeezed out the hoi-polloi… for Gods sake you big dummy- IT IS A COLLEGE. You want to bring the old-timey vibe back, you run out the corporate season-ticket hoarders and SLASH ticket prices and get the working class true passionate fans back in the seats… plant workers, carpenters, plumbers, grocery-store checkout girls, etc. make a hell of a lot more noise than bougie rich folk- FACT.
#3):For God’s sake, you clueless dummy, IT IS A COLLEGE…students are literally the lifeblood of and reason for the existence of the whole shebang- they’re the heart of the emotion of the stadium… where does the team run to to celebrate with the fans , to pump the crowd, to feed off the energy? NEZ student section…
Oh please -tell us how to fix the defense next; you’re on a roll!

It's a college football problem..stadiums expanded to big and tickets are too expensive along with concessions. People would rather not fight traffic and watch at homes most weekends unless a big game. Tiger Stadium is still an awesome experience.

My real question is what happened?
1. The "tradition fund", which oddly enough it was never a tradition to have to pay for the right to buy tickets.
2. Big Screen TVs being very cheap

It was not full for bama last year. I was in the upper deck and could see empty seats on both sides of the upper deck and lower between the 20s as previously pointed out by others. I’ll say the areas behind the end ones are generally full each game.

Bama game last November was deafening.
