It is part of MSU tradition, and for a school with very few traditions in general, I think it's a good one.
I'm OK with it being reformatted for lack of better words. But it shouldn't be done away with. Heck, the one section of Dudy-Noble that actually has people in it is the LFL. Why mess with it too much to where it kill it off?
I don't think trying to make the Greeks conform is a great idea either. Right or wrong, how often do they hang out and include the other non-Greek students on campus other than trying to force people to vote for their girl at homecoming? They want to sit on their trailer- go for it. I'm happy that they are there.
I do think that the LFL is a tricky thing as far as doing a right field student section because trailers would have to be moved. Not sure on the logistics on that, but maybe it probably can be done.
As far as the bleachers, I would just cover those up with tarps that are maroon and white and maybe have MSU themed stuff on them. If we have a big game where a lot of people are going to show up, take the tarps off. We need the bleachers for regionals.
Recently, for SBW they did a thing where basically the grandstand seats were first come first served and if you were sitting in a season ticket holders seat and they showed up, they were to ask you to politely move and then you were to allow them to have their seat. It seemed to work pretty well. I didn't hear any complaints or hear about unruly season ticket holders beating people up or people not allowing season ticket holders to have their seat.
I think the attendance is starting to improve. We had some very good crowds for Ole Miss and UT which was SBW. I know that winning is part of it. I think the AD is trying some things now to try to get people back like fireworks on Friday nights- which I think is a good idea. Like I've said before, I think our administration thought for years that MSU baseball would simply sell itself, and that once we got better, people would show up. Well, we go to a SR and the people didn't show up. I think we are just now starting to see some changes with the stadium and the program as far as getting people to games because quite frankly, we didn't know that it was a problem after nine years of sucking for the most part. I think we will see more things coming our way in terms of that as well- but we will see.
