I have a novel idea Ask the students!! Give them a chance to give feedback, honor that feedback if reasonable. If it works , great, if not move on. By the way, I've been going to games for the last 30 years and each week I sit between the 40's whenever I want on either side. Those that stand on the catwalk (and bitch because the student section is empty) should be asked to FILL THE VOID and sit between the 40's on the visitors side for a game. Imagine what a difference and influence that would make to the TV viewers. It may add to the energy of the team, the cheer team and the whole stadium.
