What occurred soon after could only be described as a "stampede" and an "unsafe environment." Students say hordes of people barreled through the gates, which led to staffers failing to check bags or tickets, and served as the dominant storyline on the same campus that hosted the biggest college football game of the week.

Everything I have read says it was true. They needed to pack the stadium for Game Day and ESPN. Students who didn't buy a sports portion with their tuition were allowed into the stadium. Melee results.Aggie Joe 93 said:
Did they not have assigned seats? Or is the rumor I heard about students being offered general admission true?

There was an incident back in the 70s where a bunch of rock music fans got trampled and killed when the promotors threw open the doors and the fans rushed in to get the best spots on the floor. Since then, most venues ban that type of thing. But then, "We're Texas"
Texas's biggest home game in a decade was our second biggest home game last year.Spotted Ag said:LOL, we play LSU every year!Quote:

It is first come, first serve hence the reason for the melee. The first ones in get the best seats.
That must be from their AD Chris Del Conte. The students have done that at TCU while he was here and still do and yes it's a frantic rush for the student seats but it is in no way dangerous because there's not a lot of students to rush in when the gates open and cause problems. Trying that at t.u. is a totally different animal because of the crowd size and mentality of that crowd and while some of his changes he's implementing from a small school mentality are working (Ex. Look at Frog Alley....I mean Horn alley with stuff for our fans to do on gameday!) things like this are just accidents waiting to happen.Quote:
According to my niece who is a sophomore at 'sip, the "Big Ticket" is a home game all sports pass. It is general admission. In other words, no assigned seats. It is first come, first serve hence the reason for the melee. The first ones in get the best seats.
