Gag us.
That’s sickening for those of us who grew up -- and some who threw up -- in the student section that filled a third of Ross-Ade -- from all the seats behind the north goalposts, where freshmen held cards for Block P, all the way around to the seniors who threw game balls and dummies out of the stadium from above the 50.
Real-live Purdue students filled more than 20,000 out of the 69,000 capacity -- when football tickets were part of the student activity fee. Long before any fields of dreams, Purdue was following the adage of “Bill them, and they will come.” And we did, for winners and losers alike. It was the year’s best party times five.
Now we have a Domer planning to literally poke holes in Purdue tradition and also “square things” on a classic horseshoe that’s stood for 98 years -- the place that once held 71,629 already cut down to 57,236. Pathetic.
Truly want “life?” Give all the students their seats back. For a small fee, of course. And make that seat-eating team vomitory an actual tunnel.
