I think the primary driving factor for the move of the student section was to address a request the students made.  They really wanted to sit together.

Season attendance for football has been really bad for decades.  Props to the leaders of Ottos Army and the students themselves, who have been showing up for football games in record numbers the last couple of years.  Students have been asked to sit in various sections spread throughout the dome and the kids sitting in an upper deck 200 yards from the main student section did not enjoy the experience.

The student entrance is on the east side of the dome.  Right next to where their seats will be.  That should help ease congestion in the concourses for everyone and IMHO is a major win.  The fact that the Miron Center is a hugely popular place for students to hang out and that it is about to be connected to the dome on the east end is also going to be a great thing for the students.

I think the prospect of an end zone full of rowdy students will make for great TV and having a whole end zone filled with our loudest fans should maximize our home field advantage.  I think what Torrey says about a ‘Lambeau Leap’ tradition in Syracuse can really happen if the east end zone is filled with gonzo students.
   
It makes sense in a lot of ways.

I feel for the long time fans who have had seats in the east end zone but my guess is that they can get equivalent seats in the western end zone and it might be a shorter walk and more convenient for many non student fans.
