UCLA 11am kickoff

There better not be a Arkansas St type stunt by our delicate flowers of the student section where there were visible rows of empty seats.

I don't remember there being empty rows, and I was sitting next to the students. Regardless, it's the marquee non-con game, it will be full.

 
this is just an excuse to drink my wife's homemade bloody mary's. no complaints from me.

a mangled version of this better not end up in the 'out-of-context' thread.

The visible rows of empty seats you see out of our students section are there for every game.

Why? you ask.

Well, there's only so many student tickets sold claiming rights to said X number of seats. What happens is the students tend to crowd closer and closer together, bunching themselves up towards the bottom of the grandstand, hence leaving empty voids in the top of the section. Yes, there may have been more students than normal not at that Arkansas St game, but this is not nearly as much of a dire attendance issue as it appears to be. If you look at the students section of any game in any year, you can clearly see that they pack themselves in much MUCH tighter than any other section of fans throughout the stadium.

Do they already oversell the student section? If they don't they really should, and if they do they should more. Hell, if it gets too full just have people stand on the concrete pillars on the side of East stadium.

I dont know nothing about the overselling and such. But when you look at the section, either on tv or from within the stadium, it's obvious they are much more closely crowded together and that's what's probably causing the empty rows towards the top. The student ticket do not have assigned seats if I'm thinking right, so it's on a first come first serve basis, right? So obviously the lower rows will fill up first. Also, pertaining to the empty seats, some games are worse than others.

Ya their team will be jetlagged. But our fans will be tired and sober, thus reducing homefield advantage significantly. Plus 11am games are garbage for recruiting and this is a major match-up for us. Guys will have just played a game the night before. We can't fly them in for a morning game. Two bad things outweigh one good, this sucks for us.

You underestimate NU fans, why I myself have been able to get plenty drunk before an 11 am start game. :ahhhhhhhh The 2001 OU/NU game was an 11 am start game and it was plenty loud.

 
The more 11am games we have, the fewer home games recruits can use OV's for. They just can't make it to 11am games unless they live within 4-5 hours of lincoln.
