Where did it ever say this on Facebook? The Athletics Department is trying to get students to sit together so they can actually have an impact on the game. However, there has never been any requirement that students sit in one area. It was suggested that students sit on the north end last year and that was changed to the south end this year. That's all that has changed. Take a deep breath and relax. Those working in the department are not out to get anyone, they are simply trying to make the most or a bad arena layout and allow students to impact the game while managing a variety of other factors. By the way, there were fewer than 100 students in the lower level section today. It's a good thing there weren't other seats available down low for students or they would have been left empty as well...

You are awfully critical of the administration and the JAR. What improvements would you like to see that would make sense given the department's hopes to be moved out of the current facility in the next several years? Do you really expect them to make significant upgrades to a "lame duck" facility? If you are going to complain, at least provide some constructive ideas to fix the problems you reference.

Are you a student? Have you heard about the new Student Tailgate lot the Athletic Department has created? It will be directly across the street from Lot 9 (north of Subway) and will be free for students with a campus parking pass. First come, first served. Hopefully you can take advantage of this.

The price is not going up on anyone renewing their season tickets from last year, except for those who were still receiving the bridge campaign price from the first year of the stadium.
