There's no real benefit to it. There is virtually no way it will sell out. While many have bought season tickets as a show of support, including myself, they could easily just show up and pretty much sit where they want to. A newer, smaller stadium (downtown or OCS) would obviously make season tickets more desirable. In UAB's case tickets-sold is a much better barometer for all attendance-related questions...

As long as you can buy a General Admission ticket "at the door" or use a free city purchased ticket when you arrive, and you can sit anywhere in the first 30 rows of Sec 10 & 11 in the west stand (50 yd line area), there is little incentive to buy season tickets unless you just want to make a fan support statement.

The size of Legion Field is a factor, but the best seats in both stands remain reserved for most of the 1600 folks who are apparently not interested in UAB football. On game day, these seats are used on a first come-first served basis no matter how they got their tickets.
