Make it out of solar panels and it could pay for itself probably. They do it in parking lots all the time but I'm sure it would be a lot bigger endeavor trying to put it up in a stadium. But what the hell is the point of having all those egghead engineering graduate students if they can't solve the hard problems for us?

I will say this as well about going to the individual seats. Sometimes, depending on whether we are in the primary or secondary seating location for the family we choose who to take with us (if we have extra tickets) based on body dimensions because the average person is the same size they were decades ago when the seat sizes were decided.

I will leave it to you to let us know about closeted homosexual responses.
I did bang your mom last night.

No, I know there’s less. But I also know there’s enough that will pony up enough in increases to make it work. Wealthy folks don’t mind pissing away entertainment dollars. It’ll be a wine and cheese crowd on the alumni side. That’s why every stadium renovation or new stadium built has 10-20x the luxury seating they had before.

Smiling Dork AD screws up big time with the women's hoops program, so he immediately plasters BHG renovations all over to cover up the **** smell.
Sounds exactly like what they would do in Starkville.

The sentiment is right, but the bare patches at the Bama game were from everybody cramming into the lower sections. Been that way for decades on the big games... we talked during the Bama game about how it reminded us of 1990 Auburn. Everybody ended up 20 or 30 rows from where they started.

This Strickland deserves a throat punch and a swift kick in the nuts . Also I’d like to know, who the hell sits during a football game?

Indeed it is.
For all the excitement around here that we gave the number 1 team in the country a run for their money that day (even though we never led, never tied, and never even had the ball with the ability to take the lead, but for 1 play with 4 seconds left on the wrong side of the field), the reality is the only thing that made that possible was the hostile environment in the swamp.
We sure as hell didn't out coach them. We didn't out work them. We don't have better players and we weren't more prepared. It was just a very loud road environment and they were the ones making mistakes, having trouble communicating and giving up false starts.
You start taking away seats and you lose some of that. You make the seats more comfortable and now you have more of those fans who don't come today because it's uncomfortable and it annoys them that the people in front of them stand the whole game. Those fans aren't much better than an empty seat anyway in terms of making the swamp a tough place to play.
One of the most amazing things Spurrier did when he was here was only losing 5 home games total in 12 seasons. That's obviously going to be tough for anyone to duplicate, but it's going to be a lot tougher if we have fewer fans and the ones that are there are cu-uf and his wife golf clapping between sips of water.

Honestly, for all the compare and contrast points I bring up regarding the 90s vs today, this is one where there’s truly no comparison in terms of difficulty. Spurrier faced his two toughest opponents in the Swamp every other year(with ‘94 being the exception). In the current era, uga and Lsu have taken that position, and only one is played at home, every other year. There’s actually no excuse to lose much at home in the current situation. Hold serve in the ones you should win and defend the Swamp every other year against the tigers. That type of home slate would be a breeze for Spurrier.

Rest of your post was spot-on too, but that is really a great idea.
The only way I might tweak it is, when you mentioned "grades incentive," I'm assuming you meant like a reward for good grades?
See, I'm thinking give the leftover visitors' tickets to the kids with the lowest grades, and worst behavior. The juvenile delinquents, basically. Maybe a taste of the college experience will motivate them to turn things around! Or, maybe they'll terrorize the visiting fans in the section. Win-win!

I only occasionally go to games anymore, but this decision feels really odd for someone who remembers the metal bleachers in the south end zone, the stadium expansion during the Pell era and the one after SOS arrived that took capacity to 90k-plus. It was a big source of pride to see the stadium grow and to know why it was so. We had finally arrived as a national power and football was king.
To downsize at first blow strikes me as acknowledgement that football has been reduced to ancillary relative to what it once was. That’s likely not the case given the various reasons cited for the downsize, but my measuring stick remains my measuring stick.
In the inimitable words of UK’s most notorious billboard booster, size matters.

There’s levels?Do they like give out belts like Taekwondo?
I think they give out a variety of clothing and accessories: earrings, skinny jeans, scarves, etc. A weird haircut is apparently the mark of a very high level.

There is no one factor...perhaps. But when your program is failing in the arena of relevant or even watchable due to a stubborn, narcissistic douchebag..it don't help.
