So 25 years ago right through to 20 years ago, they tracked students buying season tickets and your seat improved with the more seasons you stuck with it. Problems were, for hoops freshman year, I had my back to the wall up too behind the basket. Didn't really inspire me to pony up for next year, but I did. Seats improved dramatically as I was moved to the curtain seats upper corner. After that I had friends in athletics and got free premium seats, so by my 5th year, I was punished for not having bought tickets for two years. I get it, but it wasn't a nice wake up. With full honesty, the biggest problem I had was non-students often mixed in. 18-20 year olds want to be 18-20 year olds. They don't want 40-60 year olds telling them to sit or watch their language. As a 40 something parent, I get it, but if I'm in the student section, I should know what to expect. 
I think the student leadership needs to be boosted, and the atmosphere (creating a tough home field advantage) needs to be built. Manley zoo was not a nice place. Guys with rainbow wigs running the flag around are missing. The "Hey" song is missing. Do you think 25 years ago 3rd quarter "Jump Around" happened with the blessing of all the 40-60 year olds at Camp Randle? The A&M yell squad has practices. This is the necessary leadership. The school embraces this. It creates an atmosphere that is fun to be a part of and draws more students who want to be a part, to say they had that experience.
