Mark Story: Do Kentucky Fans Owe Apology to Senior Football Players?

Mark Story of the Herald-Leader asked yesterday if Kentucky fans owe an apology to this season’s special class of football seniors.

There was a noticeable lack of attendance for Saturday’s Senior Day given some of the milestones UK has accomplished this season.

According to Story, fans don’t owe an apology and here’s why:

Before its 2015 football season, the University of Kentucky re-ticketed its entire football stadium as a result of a $110 million renovation that modernized the venue formerly known as Commonwealth Stadium and added premium seating areas.

For a lot of longtime UK fans with whom I interact, that 2015 re-ticketing was a seminal experience in their Wildcats fandom.
