There are still a TON of tickets.............
left for the Egg Bowl. Sales are gonna have to pick up fast if it is going to be a sell out. We are going to be going for our 8th or 9th win. That is fantastic for us and esp THIS season. Come on folks!!!!!!

There are big blocks left both in the upper west (probably UM tickets) and the upper east. The east side ones are definitely not returned tickets.

TV and Turkey Day, I will be at the Egg Bowl, I'm thinking about buying a Maroon Jersey with #39 and wearing it!
Times have changed Liver, you and I have been around a long time, kids tonight or even young folks don't have the same entertainment values. I'm glad we ain't talking about expanding the stadium. Use the money to improve what we have.

I agree, our capacity is about right for the current environment. What we need more of is boxes. That's where the money is now. To me the ideal thing would be to put boxes where the west side chairbacks are and then bowl in the south end to keep the capacity where it is.
I like that jersey idea. My guess is some store like the Lodge could make a killing on those.

Well ED should take the idea of selling Jersey #39, it would be good for their agenda***

I sure would hate for my chairbacks in front of the old presidents box to go. Had em since the were built. Grandkids are using em now along with their dad and me.

Unfortunately, I know of several ticketholders who have to do out-of-state Thanksgiving (part of why I wish we wouldn't play this game on Thanksgiving night).

I usually don't make it when it's on Thanksgiving either, but I'm making an exception this year. I want to support this team.

My favorite thanksgiving ever was a thanksgiving tailgate for the egg bowl. But that just doesn't work for a lot of people. Have to have family that is open to it and also have to have family without anybody too old to handle tailgating.

Should've never scheduled it for Thanksgiving day. It's a tv game and nothing else.

Egg Bowl is a BIG money maker for MSU.... Now will OM receive any of the money Good Question????
Two years ago we tailgated, had Thanksgiving with our Bulldawg Family, Gave Thanks and went to the Game.... This year, we are having lunch and then on to the game... Make a way folks... 30 People will be at my house... 4:00 pm, I am leaving my grands at home, for this game.... Let's do this....

I'm doing my part - driving in from South GA Wednesday. 4 tickets in Section 20. Only home game could make this season.

It being on Thanksgiving is going to cost attendance. I doubt any team could truly sell out on Thanksgiving. Too many people have family obligations and some have to travel. You can't blame folks when it is more to do with scheduling than anything. Oddly enough, my wife can go because it is on Thanksgiving so it works for us. She works in retail so she hasn't gotten to go to an Egg Bowl in a while.

Attendance at Thanksgiving Egg Bowls haven't been much of a problem in the past.

I think it should be Thanksgiving every year. 2 of my fondest EB memories have came on Thanksgiving day with the Tip, Pick and Kick and 2013 Bo "Wallacing" in the endzone.

My family will be there but I'll be rushing out of a thanksgiving lunch and skipping a supper.
However I'm lucky. I understand if others don't show. Thanksgiving is a day for family. I don't know why we have to agree to playing it on This day.

We are basically eating Thanksgiving lunch and then driving to tailgate and have a Friendsgiving before the game. It does make it where my wife might not see my parents because she has to work the day before in Huntsville and the day after Thanksgiving in Birmingham.
