Instead of physical tickets for $6 at the Student Union, students will jump all over a ticketing app. Is that lazy? Maybe, but that is the way folks are being trained. Heck, WalMart and McDonalds let you order via app and do the work of shopping or carrying the food for you (unless you go inside in which case you get to be the counter person or the cashier). As far as the age of the fans, it sure looks already like senior citizens are the bulk of the crowd judging by the amount of gray hair I see on the TV. Of course, they are the ones that can afford the good season ticket seats and just as many of those great sideline seats are empty early as is the student section.
