Actually I'm a sophomore. On topic though, I completely agree that its pretty silly all those people just sit on their tickets. The article clearly states, however, that there is much higher demand for tickets than seating. This is corroborated by the student seating selling out in something like two hours, and I believe at least one server crashed due to the traffic of people attempting to buy. The root of the problem is that the block seating assignments are too large. As someone who frequents the non-block seating, trust me there aren't really any seats there, so as many of you have correctly deduced the block seating is the issue (aka frats. Basically it comes down to two different points of view. Obviously most students, but also the professors and many other people I have talked to about it, believe that football games are part of the students college experience and that since it is their peers playing they should be able to attend. Ya'll obviously support otherwise because that makes it easier for YOU to attend the game. It all comes down to selfishness, everyone wants to attend, but not everyone can. The point is there are plenty of students who wish to attend the games, but can't. Depending on what philosophy you subscribe to this is a problem, or not.
