You really think we don't break the 62,945 vs. AU? If his was the Vandy game, I would agree. I think everyone is still jazzed from the AU atmosphere and wants to be a part of it. I think Scott goes for it and pushes us up to 63,000

I don't think we can break the 62,945 we had against Auburn. I think every available ticket was sold for that one, and the fire marshall said no more.

Now, I wouldn't mind if we put out 55 folding chairs somewhere in the stadium so that we could claim 63,000

I am surprised there aren't temporary bleachers behind the south endzone.

BTW, I have noticed there are fewer SRO tickets being sold in the new stadium compared to the old stadium, despite there being no less spots for SRO.

Too bad they can't ticket & count the folding chairs outside the stadium where folks sit & watch the NEZ jumbotron..

That isn't a bad idea at all about the temporary bleachers. Wonder if it's been considered at all by Scott and company.

Scott should sell SRO tickets for say $100 a piece and allow the ticket holders to stand in the terrace section beside the Scoreboard Club. It is really nice out there, plus folks can eat and drink.

Let 55 more people in the mclub.

I think those who paid to sit in the scoreboard terrace might have something to say about SRO tickets in the area. Even the club level on the east side can't visit the area.

FYI I believe the 63,207 was an error. From what I saw per twitter was that the 3 and 2 were mixed up on the hailstate website and it was actually 62307. Link (https://twitter.com/HailStateFB/status/528744757468856320) for reference. I think Stricklin also tweeted out this same number. So give yourself a little credit, you were much closer.
