Greeks, clubs and even departments get blocked off seating in the lower bowl where everyone else's student section usually is. Our actual student section is in the upper end zone, where you'd usually put visitors. It's terrible for the average student. Far away from the action and can't really affect the game. Compare that to pretty much literally every other stadium where the student section is right on the field.
Yes, I know the Greeks are students, too. But, and this is no secret or even a knock, just a fact: They tend to leave early, arrive late, or otherwise be less than involved in the game. There are exceptions, of course, but when you are "entitled" to your seat because of your letters and you're a drunk 20 yr old, that's how it goes on game day.
If I'm not mistaken, the Block Seating is for the Greek Students and the showing was very poor today. Game wasn't even decided yet and the students started leaving. To see other school's student sections staying and being extremely loud regardless or the opponent or score makes me a bit jealous. This shouldn't be happening at Alabama in the middle of a dynasty.
This is terrible!!!
I'd change this arrangement before I'd spend millions on renovation and taking out seats!
And let some average Joe's have more access to tickets. Makes me sick that these guys don't care enough to watch a decent game.
Painting with a broad brush here, I'm sure, but sounds like a bunch a spoiled preppies.
