With out that this discussion is just a banter of couple of alumni discussing what is best for the students irrespective of how much of our athletics revenues comes from their fees etc. IMO they should at least get half of their allotment out of NEZ and fans who can't afford side line tickets can purchase the $99 season tix in the rest of the NEZ. College FB games need student engagement so our AD needs to get a poll out there to see what needs to be done to get more students to show up for the FB games. Really not sure if students have been polled. Great idea though. I do know that we have data points galore in our two "best mid-sized venues in America" promotions that show that students aren't too excited. That said, I love what I am hearing about this weekend. And I really think that those who planned this opener really thought hard about what it would take to get them excited. So we are definitely on the right track. If they rock it in that northeast corner and NEZ, I'm good. But if we have the remaining 4/5 of the stadium sitting around grinning about their seat comfort and toilets available, we still are leaving a lot on the table--lol. Go Monarchs.

It could rival Virginia Tech’s “Enter Sandman,” and if fans react the way I think they will, it will be intimidating for opponents."

Yeah i hope they come to rock the stadium. Keeping the student body engaged through out their school days is key to retaining their membership and keeping them vested in athletics after they leave the school.

The economics don't make sense to do that. I'm not looking to split hairs, I'm just saying that allocating 2/3 of one sidelines seating to students would piss off lots of people willing to pony up 2-3k in donations and more in seat licenses. I get that students are paying fees and shouldn't get **** on .... And if we had a 60k seat stadium like UVA and weren't close to selling out, I don't think anyone would blink at giving students all sideline seats. I think ODUs situation is different due to stadium size and current demand.

Every ticket sold is important.

I could be completely wrong though Someone on here knows, because they posted about it around the time of the Liberty game. From memory (and therefore subject to failure), most conferences don't allow students behind an opponent's bench, but LU aren't in conference. |
