Where'd you see that 80% figure? I can't imagine that is remotely true as any student with half a brain and not going to the game (can you be both?), would sell their ticket to a multitude of MSU students that would've gone (not saying that that's appropriate).

Also, looking back through pictures of that game, the student section looks full, and if I remember correctly from my experience, it was pretty cramped in there.

The only figure I see routinely trotted out is the 7k out of 22k students didnt make NW, if 20% (4.4k) of the 22k students didn't make it to MSU, I imagine the AD would've made a big stink about it.

I feel kinda bad for the students, but maybe most don't care.  To see them having to file into the stadium hours before kickoff. For what?  To sit there and wait?  One of the best things about game day is the pre-game partying.  The crowded walk.  Etc.  Oh well, I guess no one is forced to show up early.  Free donuts?  Kinda lame bribe.
