Unimportant to this discussion, there are a few programs that do sell tickets to spring games (I know there are at least half a dozen SEC schools, a minimum of three B1G schools and at least two that are currently outside those two conferences).
The point is that until we start drawing crowds for this event, it doesn't make sense to incur costs required to utilize a 40,000 seat stadium. I am not proposing that we ever charge for tickets and in all candor I am optimistic that we will reach the point where we cannot seat everyone in our soccer stadium. It just is something that needs to be ingrained in the culture and at the moment we don't have it ingrained in our culture.
