huh?forgot about that. so ill hammer the point one more time. point me towards a top coach that has had a losing season. ill wait.
Pretty sad that 4,000 student tickets didn't sell. Pathetic really. It's been my observations over the years that college kids are pretty freakin' boring these days. I mean really dull. It's not like they are doing anything special on Saturdays other than sitting around their apartments or houses. They aren't even watching the games on TV. They just don't seem to care about football. Which is their prerogative of course, but it's got to be a disturbing trend for the game itself.
Seating capacity would be drastically reduced if they did that, which means ticket prices would soar.They need to make every seat a chair back I stopped going because I got tired of the people on each side of me wanted their seat and half of mine
I know a UGA Prof who's on a waiting list.
They told him he needed to donate more money.
Business isnt your strong suit.Seating capacity would be drastically reduced if they did that, which means ticket prices would soar.
Reading isn't your strong suit. I wasn't saying they should raise ticket prices, I'm saying if the seating capacity were reduced (as it most definitely would be if the entire stadium had seatbacks), they'd have to raise ticket prices to make up for the smaller capacity.Business isnt your strong suit.
They way to sell a shytty product is to lower the price and/or raise the quality.
Right now we cant give away $15 tickets.
No it isnt.I’ve said it multiple times - college football is in a terminal death spiral. .
What they should do is lower the prices, make most of the seats much better and lower everything including concessions.Reading isn't your strong suit.

What does "make the seats better" even mean? Give up 10-15K seats to put in backs, arm rests, and cupholders? As I said before, the only places you see empty seats are the Sunshine Seats and the top of the student section (with some occasional empty seats in the visiting corner). The alumni side is always packed, the lower bowl is always packed, the south end zone is typically packed with some empty seats dotted here and there. Our average attendance last year was about 86K, so we're really not that far from capacity. Anyone who actually sits in the stadium on Saturdays could tell you that. Attendance is going to suck for games like Charleston Southern and Idaho, but it's still fine for SEC games and the FSU game.What they should do is lower the prices, make most of the seats much better and lower everything including concessions.
They should take a lesson from Falcons. They ALL should.
Falcons drop food prices, make more money

High school participation is down again...something like 46000 kids this year. That's huge.I’ve said it multiple times - college football is in a terminal death spiral. Winning would help, but I truly think that with the continuing safety concerns watering down the rules, the increase in interest for other sports and e-sports at younger ages, and the increased academic level at UF are all symptoms of an incurable disease. Enjoy what we have (or have had), it might all be going the way of the dinosaur.

I'm even getting tired of my posts. I'm going to try not to say anything else negative about this hire until at least after the first game. See you guys in a week:D
