What does the Tech Terrace have that makes it cost so much despite being in an endzone?

Presumably it's the food... but the food's not that good and certainly not worth that much. I've always been mystified by Tech Terrace. I've been there several times for various events but really never understood the attraction.

Stansbury wants a lot more butts in the seats as does Collins.

Everybody does. The question is how to achieve it. Hiring a coach who Tweets non-stop is apparently a good first step.

EDIT. The most obvious place to look for more butts (though not more dollars) is the students. Our student attendance is insane. Pretty common for the student sections to be 80% empty, even during "interesting" games. I'm always shocked by it.

Don't these kids know they can watch TV and play Xbox the rest of their lives, but they only get 24 special Saturdays (30 in the case of the slow ones) to come to Grant Field as a student?

I know that I am in the severe minority on this one that most Tech students miss games for the reasons you said (Netflix, vidya games, etc).

I only sat in the student section for a couple of games because the atmosphere in the south end zone was MISERABLE for anyone who has any idea whatsoever about football. People cheering at completely the wrong time - zero clue as to what was going on. And zero willingness to learn.

Don't get me started on the "analysis" that these kids threw out. Over current half of Tech students are a... special... breed. For those of you who graduated 15+ years ago (and haven't kept a pulse on things), student culture has definitely changed at Tech - and not for the better.

For the football games that I went to, I had a better experience buying a regular ticket/s on Stubhub. But again, I realize that my experience was not that of most, only reporting why I did what I did.

Can you give us any examples on any special interactions you've had during games?

As a student, I always sat in the North end zone, so my experience was definitely different.
 
I think this is the year I’ll budge up to 225. My favorite section.

It seems like GTAA has tried very hard to keep this info from sticking around on the internet for some reason (hmmm...).

I managed to dig this up -- deep out of the archives. I'm pretty sure that it's from 2016. It probably will be slightly off, but it should be a good baseline. I will update if I am able to find a more recent season's donation levels.

If the students are leaving the south, I suppose, looking at the pic, that they will wrap further behind the lower east.

I'd really like to see some of the east box seats contain fewer opposing fans too
 
Hey was Section 223 in the Tech Fund before? I was thinking that it wasn't.

Thanks for sharing this. Every season the GTAA tries to get me to upgrade to Tech Terrace. I think I’ll stay put and renew my usual seats for now.
