maybe one row could have reserved spots and one with first come first serve.
Also, I know some students don't tailgate, because they have to get the permits ahead of time. Most of my friends wouldn't commit early to something like that, and go to games as last second decisions, because they didn't know ahead of time if they wanted to go. For instance, they didn't know if they would have enough energy to go after goose hunting, or many of them wouldn't want to go until the day of the game. Passes for students have to be bought at the union, correct? They should be able to buy them at the game if this is the case.
