What "market rate" are people talking about for midsection seats? Those charged by other, larger schools who have devoted fan bases?
Get a clue: Stanford's fan base is soft and weak. This is about maximizing return from Stanford's most price inelastic football fans (many of whom may have season tix just to have them for the one or two games they want to attend). Period. This will obviously have a negative effect on overall attendance, which clearly is not a priority of the Athletic Department.
BTW, I am an unaffected sunny sider, so I don't have a personal dog in this hunt (other than my sadness at witnessing the seemingly inexorable decline of the Stanford football fan base).Â
