Eliminate bleachers
While the vouchering of student tickets is an understandable method for the university to increase attendance to football games, I cannot understand the reasoning.
The bleachers on top of the south end zone of Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium are not filled because it is impossible for fans to see the southern third of the football field when sitting there.
Forcing students and other fans to sit in the bleacher sections is only going to result in dissatisfied fans.
It would be much wiser to save $160,000 each year by not raising the bleachers in the first place.
