Student: Can't even give Gophers tix away

The number of students in TCF Bank Stadium was low again Halloween weekend. It’s not surprising, given the current state of the team. In fact, it’s almost a rite of passage that students become more and more absent as the season goes on.This is precisely why it is baffling that student tickets require a student ID for entrance. I understand the concerns of scalping, but at this point, it’s almost impossible to give tickets away, let alone sell them for profit.

-- University of Minnesota student Casey Peterson writing in the Minnesota Daily

I guess things haven't changed much since the news early this fall that Gopher tickets aren't so hot with students.
