As has been said by a lot here, our student section isn't the only one...

what the hell is wrong with college kids these days
What else is better in this world than a college football game in the southeast, and the surrounding pageantry?
so that must mean football in popularity is declining as a whole? College games in the southeast are the best of the lot, and if that is becoming uninteresting to the college crowd then the future must be grim. College is a far better product than pro, and better than any high school.
yet another sign of the pending apocalypse.[h=1][/h]

I really wish we would portion some of the student section to young alumni
Like georgia is doing. Give us a chance to have season tickets and build up some bulldog club points. Plus paying season ticket holders much more likely to go and stay at games

You can never replace being in the stadium for a really important game...
However, you can easily replace being in the stadium for an awful game with hanging out with friends and booze and watching a big game somewhere else in the country on TV. That was something not possible not that long ago (the watching nearly any game on TV part, not the booze and friends part). I mean... watching us thump Alcorn is not as fun as being able to hang out with people I hadn't seen since last football season while watching games, eating, and boozing at the tailgate.The best thing we could do right now is add a super awesome stadium wifi and find a way to get the SEC to start selling booze. Using the booze revenue to add security staff would be a start.

Agreed. Heard on ESPN Radio this summer this very discussion. The days of the 100,000 seat stadium are dying. Most can't keep up with that pace anymore. Look at the ones mentioned in the article: Bama, Michigan, and Ohio State.
A stadium in the low to mid 60k in seating puts us right at or just below the average size of an NFL stadium putting at near the size of new stadiums like Lucas Oil, University of Phoenix at Glendale, Ford Field, and Heinz Field.
After this expansion, focus needs to be solely on aesthetics and amenities.
Whiskey Showers for everyone!
MSU, with winning still has room to grow, but not much.
The Athletic Dept. is stretching the revenue issue as far as possible, or as far as people will pay, and it's about there, plus a little.
It's not just students.
Besides that, It's often a lot easier to just catch it on TV, ...Sometimes.
Go Dawgs!

Note the "kids are finding better things tod do", or something to that effect. This generation of kids maybe just aren't as interested in the games as we were...which personally I think is a good thing. Its better to have more diverse interests and passions than just football football football.
Smartphones and Beer. Damn kids these days. Ziploc bags and whiskey was all that was needed for a goodtime in my day
