What is the Issue with MSU's Attendance Numbers?
Something clearly doesn't seem to be right with the new stadium's attendance numbers.

Do we even know what the capacity is? The announcers kept saying 15,000 today, but sounds like the real attendance was just over half that. Everything looked full to me except the seats between 1st and 3rd, and I figured they were somewhere back in the shade or inside the club.
-
I've got a few attendance questions myself and I'm not sure we can get an actual crowd of over 13k there. New Dude isnt as big
-
wikipedia says capacity is 15,500
-
Something is definitely different between the old attendance numbers and the new ones. Of course, the NCAA probably counts actual tickets inside the stadium, but still, there looked like way more than 8.8 K at the game today. Tomorrow will be interesting because it should be around 12-13 K by the old park's standards.
-
Are we sure that capacity hasn't decreased? Everyone seems to think we can smash the attendance record with the new stadium, but (from TV) if that was actually only 8,800 then I dont see where we are putting 7,000 more.
-
I wonder if the NCAA has done something like only counting actual seats and not SRO?
"After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

The issue is this.....we sell tickets, people use them, and then half of them don't sit in them. LFL people also have season tickets.

It was full, but not packed. There were 4 empty seats on our row. The student section had a lot of people, but was not as tightly packed as during the school year. Tomorrow night should be something else.

everyone has to have some type of scanned ticket or pass to enter the stadium. if the number of people through the gate is being fudged in some way, what would the sec stand to gain from a lower count? to me, you'd want it to be as high as possible

Yeah, LFL spots should trade sRO people tickets. That way the LFL would be packed, and the seats will packed.

May be a dumb question, but do they count the Lofts in the attendance?
-
If 8.8k is an accurate figure for today’s attendance, I highly recommend bringing your own cooler tomorrow night. You’ll miss half the game in 1 of the 2 concession lines otherwise.

Hahah. Who is that goofball. It wasn't even close to the biggest crowd of the year. Not even close. The crowd count was close to me.

No. You the crowds are always lower because you only get a percentage of the gate once you get to your bid number. More crowd announced less in your pocket.

Either way, doesn't get more folks to the park.

This should've been officially done in some manner.....ages ago.

Does anybody know what our season ticket numbers are compared to the old stadium? I'm guessing OM outsold us by a good bit in season tickets because they didnt have a game under 7.5K all season while we had a couple drop in the 6Ks
