Better yet, when a student walks in, hand them a wristband and inform them that their section is down low.
yes, students should not only all be allowed to sit down low, they should have to go there, until it is full.
i get the feeling that a lot of people going to games that don't sit down low actually are rowdies, but just kind of don't like the regulars, if you will. so they sit up top.
That's why I sat in the GA section for the game against Creighton. I used to sit with the Rowdies for every game during my first two years and a little bit last year, but I stopped because there's a group of them that think they're better than everyone else, which took the fun out of sitting down there. By the way, it's not the people who are in charge of the Rowdies, because I like them.
