There just isn't as many State fans in close driving distance to Starkville as OM fans to Oxford. Tupelo... same distance for both. Memphis/Desoto County is a easy easy drive to Oxford. Starkville just doesn't have a large population center like desoto county to draw fans.

Then explain why MSU owns all the attendance records?
Our stadium also holds 4 thousand more people than theirs.
We could have their crowds numbers wise and not look as full.

I thought there wasn't as much potential capacity in the outfield with the reno, less ability to cram like sardines than before.

No one knows because I don't think we have fully tested the capacity yet. Seats wise we are about the same. LFL may be reduced within the boxes, but there is a ton of SRO space.
The largest crowd I can find in the New Dude is the Saturday Stanford Super game - at 13,132. The Sunday game in that series was about 2000 less - but neither crowd seemed that crazy large.

You say Dude holds 4K more. But States average attendance is less than 100 more. Also State has a much richer tradition.
I referring to the Q why and comparing States last home series to theirs. But all that is beside the point.
State could have those numbers this weekend. We shall see if the liberal leaders allow it.
