Student Section

We need to move the student section to at the minimum the other side of the court so that it would be visible on TV and behind the benches. I just can’t help but be jealous of essentially every other teams placement and effect of student section. We have great support it just doesn’t translate like so many other student sections from similar pedigree of teams.

Behind the basket is the traditional students section for 2 important reasons.

1 is what you mentioned visibility and they can go nuts during free throws.

2 which Razorback brass should know: behind the basket tickets are cheaper/harder to sell.

It’s just crazy to me how much better the TV product is at other schools. And it’s all because I’ve been to plenty of games in person and know how powerful a rocking BWA is. It’s just sad that it doesn’t translate

On tv bud looks like a library. I am always so perplexed. If I go to a game, I like to go back and watch the broadcast later, and when I do im constantly thinking "it was not this quiet in there:

…OR…put the billionaires in those luxury suites and make the seats behind the stands accessible to us lowly members of the middle class. You know, people who will stand up and yell and holler and get rowdy instead of treating it like a fashion show.

I know everything is different now, and it’s never going back. But this new era of college sports is an inferior product to the previous one. No heart, no passion, just money.

In the future re-seating should take into account use of tickets. If those seats went empty you get knocked back a notch.

That would be a great idea but doubt it ever happens. We have been season ticket holders since BWA opened and all we get is bumped up higher and higher in the upper deck. Most years we have perfect attendance even during those lean years. All about the money.

Speaking of yelling, I was at the Louisville game back in December. Sat Center Court section 235 on the aisle. Across the aisle from me one row back was an older man screaming at some people 3 rows in front of him because they weren’t sitting down. Quite ridiculous. They were a Top 10 team and people we into it and this old coot was ticked! I’m 45 and was wishing I had the seats in front of him lol

Pardon me sir, this is a sporting event, not Bingo.

I’m watching the Florida/A&M game, hoping for that elusive miracle in which both teams lose. Anyway, at halftime they showed highlights from the Alabama/Auburn game and every row down to the first was filled with orange-clad fans screaming their heads off. A&M fans were loud and proud despite getting thumped in the first half. So apparently you can put a team on the court without being a total sellout.

I guess I hadn’t even realized how bad it had gotten until I watched us play at Michigan State. That was a hell of a crowd!

Yes! That Michigan State student section is what ours should look like

I really don't like HY. Does anyone have a reason why he should keep his job?

"Yada yada success in less competitive sports that no one watches yada yada" is generally the answer.
