You must've gone to SCAD.

Maybe I'm a ööööö, you guys are right. I can't physically get up in time to get to noon games sometimes. I'll do better when I get out of here.

Attendance issues are pretty widespread throughout all of college football right now.
FTFY. But please... tell me more about your credentials as a student in this argument. I walk with my third degree in December after a decade of sports highs and lows on campus; I could clearly use an explanation of the student experience.
That was from 2010. Also found that 30% of the incoming freshman class are Asian. Not that it's any problem, but you can make a strong argument that *most of those kids don't really care about our football program. All that time here I thought you'd be a little bit better at researching.
Here's another lesson, junior: don't rely on Wikipedia to do the research for you. Take a look at the actual fall enrollment numbers from 2012:

Also notice that this is the same link I provided before you did a little lazy research.
<20% of incoming student are Asian, and an <10% are international. Clearly graduate numbers skew the percentages a little; at the same time, I don't think anyone here is arguing that graduate student support defines a fan base.
sooo you proved me right?...
Not without considering all international students to be of Asian origin, no. Chinese, Indian, and Korean students make up 69% of the international enrollment:

At this point, we're quibbling over about 7% of the undergraduate population when talking about students of Asian decent either foreign or domestic, rounding considerations removed.
In either case, blaming attendance on "anyone of Asian descent not liking football" is still fairly ignorant given the overall student body composition.
if we actually go back to my original post you notice that i said it was a combo of nerds and foreigners. please continue to make me seem like im blaming the plight of georgia tech football attendance solely on the asian race.
I think this is the biggest part of it. I didn't see any issues with student attendance and campus excitement in the back half of 2008 and all of 2009.
I thought all Asians were nerds? and if they like sports it is kung-fu or badminton; well, and baseball
That's when they went all Gestapo on bringing in booze. It's clearly the frat blocks which are empty during these less desirable games. At least this was my understanding a couple of years ago.
Student lines at the gate by the north endzone are also always the longest. It's the only gate that takes student tickets.
I go in the north entrance every time, hiding booze, and have had zero trouble or wait getting in. It's really easy for everyone to blame the fraternities, but I'd honestly say we're the ones who care most on campus, and most likely to travel. Take a look at the south end zone, that section is always a ghost town. The problems we face with attendance are terrible game times, not excitable opponents, and a relevant portion of the student body could care less about football.
