Student Section

[DirtyDog]

Since I haven't seen a post yet on the student section, I wanted to give them a generous golf clap for showing up early, being loud and engaged, and staying to the end. The students have been repeatedly criticized when they don't show up, engage, or stay so it's appropriate to show them some appreciation when they do. Now, if we can get some of the "mature" fans to engage for a whole game, imagine what the atmosphere would be like!

How does that work? The University gives out more student tickets than there are seats?

Yeah something like that. Before the expansion they allocated 11,000 tickets for students. Now, I'm not sure how many tickets are allocated now but I know the endzone only sits about 8,000. I do think there is some overflow in the upperdeck but I'm not 100% on that.

I don't see how they can do that since they pay now. Also, the upper deck on the East side had seats open in both ends in the corners.

I don't know how it works, but that's what I heard from students that were turned away. Maybe they were just turned away from a certain section.

It's not very difficult to sneak in the student section without a student ticket. That may be part of the issue.

My understanding is that they aren't IDing this year, so I imagine this is part of it. Also, I heard that student tickets sold out quickly, and some students bought nosebleed season tickets with the intention of always sitting in the endzone.

I can confirm the student section was completely oversold and there wasn't even standing room available.

Then I would want my money back.

My daughter and her friends came and sat next to us in some open seats until those people showed up about mid first qtr. Then they found some other seats. They weren't too happy about it. But the game made everyone forget that.

Now if they could just get the pace of the "were gonna beat the hell outta you" cheer down they will get an A+

My son texted me several times during the game saying it was crazy fun. Somehow he was on row 18 and blew up my phone after the Mixon TD.

the crazy thing is that in five to ten more years, it will just be sung at their speed because you will have 15-20 years of kids graduating who sung it at that speed

I saw LSU gear in the Faculty section. I don't think it was faculty I think they gave tickets away. Do the faculty have to pay a Bull Dog contributions for their seats?

 

[o_dawgnabit]

We've always had to pay.

 

[RocketDawg]

Don't they also have the section with the band? NE corner.

 

[aTotal360]

No. There is no BDC contribution for Faculty tickets. And you get about 30% off regular price (up to 2).

 

[rem101]

It'll be worse against Alabama.

 

[Duke Humphrey]

Pretty sure they do not sell faculty tickets any longer....

Some may be grandfathered, but I dont think new faculty can sign up
