Make students pay for Football and Men's BB tickets and use the lottery system for all the other sports if necessary and take a cut out of student fees. That's just too logical and all so it won't happen.
Agreed. At minimum, just make students pay a refundable deposit of like $10 to enter the lottery system for each game or something. That will immediately remove a lot of the fringe students who just want a way to drink and waste 2 hours(since they definitely don't stay the whole time).
Why do you all feel that the process of claiming tickets is to blame?
I don't remember the exact year, I think it was around 2011, they went from the first come first serve tickets that they gave out in person first thing on Monday morning of the game week to the current system. With the old system, the students who wanted to be there, made sure to stand in line and get the ticket and make the effort to ensure they'd be at the game. They'd line up 3 hours before kickoff and the first half of the student section would immediately fill up 90 minutes before kickoff with the rest filling in soon after.
Now, it's all a lottery system and Joe diehard might not get to go to the game, meanwhile you'll have plenty of students who couldn't name one player getting a ticket allotted to them.

The student section used to really loud. Now its a bit more subdued. Also arent the end zones now
reserved seats? Remember when they used to be general admin and crazy. Its all about how much money
they can milk out of the fans. They have priced out a lot of the regular fans who were die hards and fanatics.
^ Yes. Plus, with the endzones being GA, most of the standing room only folks also squeezed into the endzones back then too. You could get into any game for 20-50 bucks and if you got there early, could sit in the first few rows and be super rowdy.

remember when Matt Knight opened and seats were way to expensive. They couldnt
understand why only half full...then they lowered prices and more people could go
to a game. They just dont get what the target audience should be.

Yea it was 2008. They also reduced the size of the student section so they could sell more tickets. It's also the time that Oregon started blowing teams out routinely.

Its sad that the students pay thousands of dollars to go to school and there are limits
to how many can go to a game.
Michigan 2003. Second 2007 vs usc. Two very very loud games. Doubt we even get close this game. Crowd has just gotten spoiled and doesn’t care as much. Used to be loud right out of the gate after the intro videos and let the opponents know right away it was going to be loud!!

ASU before Dixon got hurt

I was at that ASU game. Both the loudest and quietest game I've been to. Man the energy just sucked out of the stadium when Dixon went down, I imagine there was some similar feeling Saturday night against Stanford.
