They cleaned up the experience for the rest of the seats, but students all get herded into the north entrance so they can get into the north stands as that's where they give out wristbands.

One thing that's painfully obvious is the thousands of seats at the top of south that used to be student lottery ticket seating aren't been used. With no assigned seats or ushers controlling flow you've got thousands of extra students trying to squeeze into east when there's a ton of overflow at the top of south. That said nobody wants to sit there so unless you twist arms people with complain but not change their behavior.

One fix is a loyalty system, they used one at UNC when I was there to determine who gets basketball tickets and seating priority. Instead of donations, they swipe your Student ID at every sporting event you attend and whoever racks up the most points gets priority. Some of my die-hard basketball fan friends ended up attending all the soccer, lacrosse, baseball, and volleyball games they could to gurantee them.
