They had bleachers? We stood the whole game.
The bleachers are what you stood on, or tried to.

How old are you? I’ve been going since 1990 and there were plenty of places to sit
Be sure to double baggie that bourbon!! (voice of experience speaking )That is what they make zip lock bags for!
I was just talking with my folks about this last night. Fact is, if you're in the bleachers you're in for a very uncomfortable 3.5 hours. And lord help you if you're near the end of the aisle - musical fukking chairs on top of everything else.
So my question is, if they reduce capacity, how do you do that? I mean, Stricklin is talking about getting rid of the bleachers but the damn things are so close to each what the hell else are you going to put there? Not chairbacks, that's for sure. If he's talking chairbacks that sounds like major renovations to fit them in, and how many rows would need to be taken out? Stadium renovations is not my day job so I'm really curious and confused.

Kinda liked the old north end zone. I think if the stadium was a bit smaller, it would create more competition for tickets and be bette overall. Big like it is now is good when you have the 2006-2009 teams but nothing worse than seeing a bunch of empty sets.
Truth.Well, the students aren't what we had in the 90's either. We were passionate football fans, willing to camp out for tickets, sell plasma for gas money to roadtrip to an away game, that sort of thing.
Many of these current students are more like what you would envision attending MIT. They might be more into calculus and physics than blocking and tackling.

I try not to watch the games. It's been shyt since 2010.Even the old people really don;t give a SHYT about watching the game.
Overall I think you have to make the stadium more comfortable for people or in today's world they will stop coming....
When was the last time you felt like you might miss something if you were not at a UF football game?
