You probably went to a school where you showed up a couple of minutes before the game and just walked in and got a seat. At Alabama - and most other SEC schools - there is a large student section (at Bryant-Denny it's half of one end zone and about a third or more of the east stands and the stadium seats over 101,000). Seats are not reserved in the student section - it's first come first served. So as soon as the stadium opens, 3 hours before kickoff, the appointed pledges go and stake out the the seats. Even if they don't have their flags, they are dressed well (watch a game sometime and see how well dressed they are ) and wear their badges. And they spread out and stake out an area. I'd say 3/4 of the stadium is filled an hour before kickoff. Toto, you are not in Kansas any more. Nothing personal but football here is just as different as recruitment is.
