Well...

Wonder if we should focus more on winning the game, and maybe building a program that does not have to stoop to selling minipaks?

I would tend to agree with you.
A few points in favor of the mini-packs though:
I've heard that there's a fair number of the mini-pack folks that have become season ticket holders over the last few years...and most of them are not UGA fans, most likely.
My suggestion (as has been suggested by many others) would be to make sure the off-games (non-uga games) are on weeks where UGA has a game, so that their fans won't show up.
Also, keep in mind that our season ticket base has slowly grown over the last decade or so...up to about 27,000 now. I think in another decade, we'll be able to sell out our stadium without other team's fans and without the mini-packs...provided we don't bottom out with another 1-10 or something. It'd be nice to string together some 9-3, 10-2, 11-1 type seasons to help speed up the process.
