    Well, we have a Sun Belt fan base with an over sized stadium. We have the largest number of International Students in The State who couldn?t give a rats patuty for American Football. We limited the number of Season Tickets this year in an 8 game schedule. Why? We limit the number of Student tickets. Why?

    Maybe we should introduce all the old alumni and honored guests pre-game instead of at every 3:20 minute time out. Have mascot races, kick for scholarships, football jugglers, dog frisbee, funny videos, fan spotlights, Pole dancing on the Goal posts! We have a 3 minute 20 second time out. Pass the hat for NIL Donations. We are the Washington Generals of the SEC. Do some Globetrotters clowning.
    We are the Minor League. Do Minor league things to entertain the crowd. Somebody start the dang WAVE! Wet T-shirt contests!


    Football stinks! Cut the ticket and concession prices!

    How I guesstimate attendance.... the west and east lower levels hold 33k alone. So if you moved the students to the north back to east lower. Then people above to the lower level, would that have filled the east lower? Probably. Same for west side.

    I'd say we had north of 33k actual for SELa and Az. We had 45-49 for lsu and Bama.

    I'm in the stadium and it is empty and not a lot of people coming in. We may end up under 10k here.

    Well Wayne Madkin is here. So he's cool.

    I'd say 25k.

    Yup. We didn't have problems selling out every game most of the Mullen years, including the OOC games. Win and people will spend the money and time to come. I already regret buying Egg Bowl tickets from a buddy before the season. We're so bad, I don't want to be there to watch them skulldrag us on our own field.
    It's the roller coaster of hope that this program keeps us on that makes it hell being a State fan. - CadaverDawg, 10/15/22

    Classes this week Monday - Wednesday, Fall Break Thursday and Friday. Empty student section as it was yesterday is one of the first indicators of a terrible product on the field, as they have more things to do. BTW, sold my nephew's ( he had birthday party for his 5 year old daughter), four very low tickets in Section 4, 45 yard line to a scalper for the grand total of $20. He was unable to resale and they were empty with about 30K or so others at KO. Pitiful.
