This is true and it’s 100% due to moving the seats. It was great back when I was a student and this change killed it.

Is it the competition? It seems like we've been sleepwalking through the conference home games ao far and haven't really been challenged.
I thought the crowd today was pretty bad, at least on TV. I think it will ramp up once we start playing some better teams and there's plenty the next month.

Pickles is a good place to eat with very good pizza.
Funny, I am opposite. Drives me nuts when they have the really loud crowd noise that spikes. To each his own.
Extremely dissapointed to see empty seats in the student section, given no viable excuses.
21-2, kids. Appreciate!

I wish we could come up with something like:
Students need to verify 1 or 2 hrs before game if theyre going to make it.
If they dont a text gets sent out to Boys and Girls Club/Ames High/Gilbert kids to claim a seat for free. Cyride could have a dedicated bus shuttle them from Ames High to the game.
These seats would be higher in the second deck.

CF After Dark Guys were discussing this after the game today. 16:50 mark:
How about going back to the ticket packet with assigned seats in different sections like we did when I was in school. Didn't have empty seats with that.
Yep, and most of them will be trying to show up for their first game of the year even though they did nothing with their tickets to all the prior home games.
100% we need to downsize the student section. Get rid of the two end student sections of the balcony and maybe even more than that. Will also boost revenue for athletic department and will help with noise.
I've been to three games this year, and the crowd was mild all three times (Northwestern, Oklahoma State and Baylor). I think the fan base is just spoiled because the team is so good.
No, it hasn't. Empty rows in the upper deck aren't a result of any bleacher movement.
There was empty seats in regular sections too but no one is ******** about that
Nah, it didn’t help, but the student section has gotten weaker over time going back past the last decade.
The epitome of noise was the Hoiburg, Thomas, Niang, Morris...era. Could toss in Orr's tenure.
My ears literally hurt.
Not an issue now
The loudest I ever heard Hilton was the Okie State game when they had Big Country. I swear the floor was moving.
The difference is that the student section is oversold and they still don't fill it.
I’m not old enough to remember the Orr era, but that was a lot louder than the Hoiberg coaching tenure. I’ve heard KU fans complain that the atmosphere in Phog has diminished. The invention of smart phones was probably the worst thing to happen to society and it also has had a negative effect with crowd involvement too.
No canned music.
No light shows.
No "drawing your attention to the video board" or to center court.
Much shorter media timeouts.
The athletics department holds a lot of tickets back for overflow and other things.
During the iowa game, after the student section was filled, they found reserved seats for what I would guess is a few hundred seats.
Also,a few empty seats is expected, but there were literally hundreds of seats open.
I wish they would do like KU and have a GA section for the general public for all games, minus KU and Iowa.
I would put money on empty too rows for Houston as well.
