A current Vandy student is applying for an internship at my company and we mainly discussed Vanderbilt football during his interview today.
Positives - He said the buzz and atmosphere on campus is electric. It was awesome to hear how excited he was talking about what a positive impact the football season has had on his experience as a student.
Negatives - The school has to address the student section issues for the Texas game. Apparently students have to wait hours before the game just to get into the student section. Then once they are in the student section, they cannot leave the entire game! They can’t go to the bathroom, get a drink, or anything. If they leave, then they aren’t allowed back into the student section.
The school has never had to deal with this kind of demand from students for seats which is obviously great but every student who wants to attend the game should be allowed in the stadium. Also it is almost inhumane and dangerous to prohibit a student from getting water or using the bathroom for 4-5 hours in the heat.
@chrislee have you heard of any improvements to the situation in advance of this weekend or the Texas game?
