A misguided student ticket policy put in place after the 2017 season opener that forced students to secure wristbands at Mike Meyers Stadium will no longer exist next season, according to new Texas Longhorns athletic director Chris Del Conte.
In past years, student seating was split between the bleachers underneath the Godzillatron and several sections in the northeast corner of Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. In a recent interview, Del Conte indicated that the students will now sit together on the southeast side of the stadium. Just as importantly, the tickets will be general admission.
