I don't think you can use Stadium size as a comparison. When we only played non -Conference teams in Starkville, and all of our big games, every year, on the road. Why did we need more than 40,000 seats? Whereas, of it was like today and a home and home set up, we would have needed a 60,000 seat stadium earlier.

This biggest challenge State has is making up for the 60 years of selling out the Athletic Department. It just looks like we really didn't care. And the whole reason Ole Miss had any success was avoiding the SEC big 6. Vaught routinely scheduled out of conference games as SEC games somehow while avoiding the big 6.
