Trojan Arena Update (5/6/2011)
A lot of atmosphere was created at lockhart last year when they let the students move over tot he visiting sideline. Now we will probably lose that again as the students will be in the End zone. I know that those seats are somewhat "prime" and that FAU wants to sell them but they might be making a mistake on that.
Here was my solution:
"I wonder if they could designate a small section of the visiting sideline as student seating, (say from the 30-30, and 5 rows deep) so that it would help balance the crowd and provide some that atmosphere you all are taking about,"
What do you think?
I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick @$$ and I'm out of bubble gum.

Was there ever a "good" atmosphere at Lockhart?
In my opinion sideline seats should be reserved for paying customers.
From the 30 to the 30 means you have students sitting in your "prime real estate" areas sorta speak, for free. Both 40's and the 50 is going to be your money maker. Shouldn't give those students
My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

That's where they asked to sit…
I actually think it's a good idea to keep the students and paying customers separate. Fans at NCAA games always complain about langauge or behavior that they don't want their kids hearing or seeing coming from students at games. Having the students in their own area avoids all that and improves the gameday experience for all. The students don't want to be bothered and told to watch their language around children or older fans and the paying customers don't necessarily want to be surrounded by the college kids. So long as we sell enough tickets to fill the place, it's a win-win for everyone.

The packed section will also look great on TV when we score the PAT ;).
