of going to the games, whether its over costs of the game itself or the difficulty in making the trip.

I've been there myself and realize it could always be a possibility in the future.

Heck, when I was a student I had to miss a lot of games because I was barely making my bills on part time jobs as it was, plus I worked a lot of Saturdays. Heck, tickets were cheap back then too. I do remember when they let anyone in without a ticket at halftime and I'd try to walk up and watch the second half of some games.

I'll be really bummed out if and when that ever happens. I was really worried about our move to the SEC sending prices sky high but so far so good.
