Big Football has attendance problems too???

Postby peruna11 » Fri Nov 13, 2009 10:28 am

With all the frustration regarding our attendance and more specifically the student section, I found this article interesting. I for one think the students are starting to turn out in good number, and it keeps growing with the wins - go figure.

The pressure is coming from alumni and other fans who think these tickets aren't being used, or who don't like the way the fraternity members behave. At Alabama last season, where season tickets cost up to $3,250 and the waiting list can take years, alumni were incensed by the empty seats in the student section, even at nationally televised games. At last year's Kentucky game, the school says nearly 30% of the 15,000 student tickets weren't used.


The rest of it is pretty funny too.. God bless college football in the South.
