One quibble: You mention the "full student section", and that was not the first reference I have seen to the student section supposedly being full last night. But I'm not sure that is correct.
The N end zone area below the bottom of the tarps, that rather small space was indeed packed with students. But I believe that sections 7-9, in the NE (sunny side) corner, are also reserved for students. (The tx resale sites, like Vivid Seats, never show anything whatsoever available in sections 7, 8 and 9.) Those NE corner sections were nearly empty at kick-off last night, and I could be wrong but I don't think that even later they came close to filling.
