Enough of this baseball, basketball, and field hockey talk!
It's football season baby and the fans are excited! When was the last time we sold out, Mullen?
Whose your offensive/defensive MVP
Offense - Freddie Roberson or Justin Robinson
Defense- Banks
Offense -- Will Rodgers think he has a big year and surprises many both in the air and on the ground !!
Defense -- Bookie/Jett in a tie think they will be at top of the SEC in tackles again with us running more 4 man fronts ..........
How many were sold?
40kQuote:

Did they add more lounges this year?
There were 52K season tickets sold in 2015. We decreased capacity with those lounges in the West upper deck last year by a couple of thousand. Not sure why we only sold 43K season tickets this year, but it's more than we have sold since 2015.Quote:

“We will probably end up 42, 43,000 once we factor in all the student season tickets,” Greene said. Mississippi State has stuck with the annual 11,000 allotment for student use though this year it is not necessarily a stand-alone ticket.
Anybody got the 2016-2022 numbers?
Don't believe they released those, but I could be wrong.Quote:

Official Capacity according to hailstate.com is 60,311Quote:

Scanning the ticket purchase site for the SE LA Game - it looks like about 20 seats available per section on the east and west sides. None on the NEZ.
28 sections times 20 seats is 560 seats. Figure I'm a little off in the East side Uppers, and I'll say 900 maybe available.
I think people are going to be surprised by turnout.
Let the bitching about long lines, traffic, and stinky cups begin!!!
I think you're right! people will be surprised and if we play well ( like I believe we will) It will be back to a great gameday experience again!!! HailstateQuote:

So do I understand this correctly? We sold out the so-called season tickets we printed. A number that is far short of the actual capacity. Seems a little disingenuous if that's the case. Meaning we would print more if we thought we could sell them.
How are those "lounges" working out? A 2K reduction in capacity to get them seems a little ... odd. Are they being used?Quote:

I think that they are being sold out pretty easily and they make more money on them than just regular upper deck seats. If it were me, I would do the same to the East upper deck, chairback the lower bowl, add premium boxes to the west side, and bowl in the South EZ with premium areas. All of this would decrease capacity and increase income.Quote:
