I know many people like the student section, it is the most energetic place to be on game day.  Whenever our opponent is getting close to the North end-zone, the 12th man factor of the students cannot be denied. Why not add that 12th man the whole way down the field?  In every game of a more established team I have been to, the student section was not just shoved in whatever little corner the athletics department had an afterthought about, they were covering much of the sidelines directly across from the alumni, using their energy to feed the senile alums and get them up on  their feet to add to the energy of the crowd.  I think USF moving the students to better seats on the field would promote a higher turnout overall. 

I know this would also decrease revenue from ticket sales... I personally would not mind paying a little more to have better seats.

I think students should be in both end zones and the 300 level.  I know many south end zone people love their seats and they do generate plenty of noise, but nothing beats the noise of the students.  Why not capture both end zones with students?

I'd like to remind people it was just yesterday we were complaining about how to get STUDENTS to the game.

If they need any more motivation, screw'm.

I'm with Eats_It.

No. Next question.

So what do you suppose happen to all the alumni that currently have seats there?

Don't like this idea.  Heck, the students haven't been able to sell their share of the 12,501 tickets so far.  They're fine where they are, and I'm sure all the donors are fine where they are also since they have to pay to sit there.

The Alumni that sit there now will be moved like the sections that were moved this year...  And yes the South Endzone was great Friday night... But the north was still much louder..  That is why our coaches pick that end zone in overtime... Nothing against the south end zone people...

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
