In an effort to keep students in the stadium throughout football games, the University of Alabama has begun tracking students on their phones during games, according to Billy Witz of the New York Times.
Students receive "Tide Loyalty Points" on the FanMaker app, including a reported 100 points for attending a game and an additional 250 for staying until the fourth quarter. Fans with a high number of points can receive improved access to postseason tickets like the SEC Championship and bowl games.
The app tracks the students only while they are in Bryant-Denny Stadium to determine who deserves points.
