Will the breaking news today hurt attendance Saturday Night?

[Jack Lambert]

Just curious what you think.

[hopsondawg22]

Already planned on spending the weekend busting doves and catching the game from the living room. But, I don?t expect it to weaken attendance.

[ShotgunDawg]

Yes. I would not expected Fitz's girlfriend or family to be there, thus shrinking the attendance by 5 or so people

[TUSK]

Shirley it'll be a hard sellout... New coach, new excitement, really good team, first game of the year.....

no?

[LC Dawg]

I don't think Fitz not playing will affect attendance. I don't expect a good crowd though. We are lucky it's a 6:30 kickoff because if it were a day game attendance would be embarrassingly low.

Bullshit

Why would it be an embarrasingly low attedance?

What evidence do you have to make that statement?

Based on recent non-conference games against weak opponents when it was hot as hell and combining that info with it being the opening day of dove season.

Is our attendance really effected by the start of dove season?

That seems absurd to me. Do people look more forward to dove season than college football season? I don't know any of those people.

If so, that's not exactly the type of commitment that helps programs get over the hump IMO

You'd be surprised. It's a big event for a bunch of folks - the night game gives us a chance to make it decent because you can do a morning and early afternoon hunt and still maybe make the game. It's still going to put a small dent in attendance though. The cooler weather at night helps out a ton as well

Only 602 tickets on stubhub, which is a good sign

Yes, our attendance is affected by dove season. I don't dove hunt so it doesn't affect me. Day game attendance suffers a lot more than night games. Some people close enough will hunt and still make the game.
I don't expect to have a good tailgating crowd Saturday because of the heat and dove hunting but I hope the game crowd is good.
I personally think its unacceptable to not have a sellout for the #18 team in the nation with the excitement of a new coach but actual sellouts have been rare, especially for non-conference.

Saturday's weather looks to be a high of 91 & a low of 69 with a 40% chance of rain.

So looks to be in the mid to upper 80s & possibly humid.

Not horrible

That's kinda what I was thinkin' 'Gun...

Yeah Tusk. Until our fan base stops stepping on their dick it'll be tough to really take another step.

This type of thing would never happen at Bama. It's pretty sad IMO

I should admit that I haven't looked at the forecast for Saturday but I was in Starkville this past weekend and it was miserably humid. We ate lunch outside Saturday and were discussing tailgating and dreading the heat. If the humidity will drop some it may not be that bad.

Those are some long dicks.

It won't be a big crowd.

Well there are tickets available at every outlet including the MSU ticket office....stubhub has hundreds for $6..

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Last I checked, there were more tickets available for Bama-Ole Miss than SFA-MSU....
