Auburn looks full, can?t see the upper deck, though.
CFB attendance been dropping for a decade. Biggest decline in history last year. It's not just an MSU thing
They've managed to eliminate a lot of folks by pricing them out. We are one of the few sec teams who have economy priced tickets. I don't mind the upper deck, but my kids and wife are both terrified of heights. To get decent seats for a sec game my family of 4 of looking at $350-400 for tickets. Then paying for parking, food, clothes, souvenirs for the kids and gas, it's between $600-750 for single game tickets from the ticket office. Trying to buy from individuals is worse. It's to the point where you have to start thinking do I want to take a couple of decent family vacations or a couple of football games a year.
Comparing the nfl to college is ridiculous. NFL has 32 teams, all in big cities. Every single week, people who don't give a crap about an nfl team take their family to an nfl game for the one time opportunity to do it. Lots of people from here go to a Dallas game once a year. It's not even remotely close to the same thing. Didn't you get tired enough talking about it on genes page colonel?
Same here. Even ten years ago, I didn't want to pay what it cost for an SEC game. I would usually go to a non-SEC game. But it's just not worth the money to me anymore. I've lost a lot of interest in college football in general.
It is what it is. There are 4 programs that have a chance to win it all. TV has turned those 4 into America?s colleges. Until there is parity and lower prices, it ain?t changing. We need a 52,000 seat stadium with Chairbacks across the board. We should close the East side upper deck because it is too damn high with 3 club levels below it. Stupid! A really piss poor stadium design!
The upper deck on the East side looked about 40% full. For the 1st time this season we had family and friends in all 8 seats. I predicted a close win at the end of the game. I enjoyed every second and never thought that they would win. My apologies to our LB's and Safeties who I thought would have trouble with their team speed. I will more than gladly eat crow, ( but small one) next time my MSU Senior Son and I go out here in Starkvegas. I will buy him the steak he deserves for always being positive! Hail State!
Guys, I was there when there was nothing but a lower deck on each side with small bleachers in the end zones. I was there for a victory over LSU when we rented portable lights to host our first home game at night. I remember when we added second upper deck under Jackie. Except for our recent end zone addition which I think looks great we have pieced together our present stadium with what ever $ we could put together. Time to modernize with chair backs in lower sides. incorporate lower chair backs with the M Club building and have about 55K seats. Hail State!
People are just weird I guess. I will always be there and had a great time today. I just got back and watched the highlights and the sec network production was awful. That play-by-play guy sucks and the sound was horrible. I don't know how some of you guys that are within any decent driving distance from the stadium tolerate watching the game on tv. It's ass.
