Sometimes writers have to manufacture stuff to write about. Students sales continue to decline nationally. That's been a trend for years. Have you been to other stadiums? Looks at where Michigan, Penn State and Ohio State put their students. In the corners of the end zones, upper decks, etc. Does that affect the atmosphere there? No. Are you really going to displace a bunch of season ticket holders and lose a bunch of booster fee revenue during a pandemic? I don't think so. I think in the 80's student tickets were cheap and they sold about 16,000 of them. Now its about half of that and they sometimes sell out at the last minute. Leave it as is, at least for a few years and see what the revenue is, how the team performs, etc. Right now its the product ON the field that needs improving, not off of it.
I witnessed games where the seats were empty early in third quarter under present seating system. tOSU game under BO. Guess the old folks had a bowel movement and got backed up in bathroom line.Is the student section even full with the product that has been on the field the last couple years? Students always find something better to do than watch a bad game. It would look pretty bad to have the 50 yard line student section be half full.
Student sec in basketball not always at half court. Students sec used to be on east side.Shattel writes in OWH about moving student section closer to field. In basketball, students are at mid court. Thoughts on moving students closer to field at football games?
we should have ‘popguns’ for hillbillies, too.Let’s bring back throwing oranges onto the field for the big games.

Very true. The band is in 2nd section from the south on the east side and students next to them in first section.There are student tickets in east stadium if I remember correctly
The first few rows in East Stadium aren't really all that desirbable because you're blocked from so much of the action by players on the sideline. IMO, it would be wise to cram as many students between the 30s on the visitor sidelines as you could fit and give them all noise makers. Maybe even add a couple of rows of seats with portable bleachers between the 30s on the visitors side.Nebraska finally switched sidelines after all these years they always were looking in to the sun..
Time to put the student body behind the visiting teams side line...
Same. Great seats. Were you there during the Cup Wars era? I went 86-89.Back when I attended DONU, my student tickets were in east stadium and we were never in the same section from year to year. On a rolling lottery
Ours were like on the 35 yard line next to the band most of the time.Back when I attended DONU, my student tickets were in east stadium and we were never in the same section from year to year. On a rolling lottery

Juuuuuuuuust a couple years earlier. My last year was 1985 (fall). Prior to college I ushered for several yearsSame. Great seats. Were you there during the Cup Wars era? I went 86-89.
No need for noise makers, put them behind the visitors, and just teach them to clap.The first few rows in East Stadium aren't really all that desirbable because you're blocked from so much of the action by players on the sideline.

I still don't get the hand clap snap signal. We shouldn't have any false starts using hand claps should we? And yet, we have tons of false starts with it. Seems like maybe we should try something different like oh say....a snap count.No need for noise makers, put them behind the visitors, and just teach them to clap.
Clapping fouled up our performance according to the coach.....
I suspect that a lot of season ticket holders gave up their seats this past year. It might be easier to move people than you think especially now that they've changed sidelines. We gave up the seats we've had for over 25 years. We often only made it to a game or two every year and usually gave the tickets away to friends. The seats were great in west stadium. I hope we don't regret it too much.grandma aint moving by gd, so set the hell down and shut the fck up or i'll call security
Not going to happen😂put the students behind the visitors bench, and start selling alcohol in the stadium.
