Wrong theory.

That definitely has some effect, if for no other reason than high school kids. Our Junior and Senior year of high school, if there was a home game, we went. If only one team had a home game, we all went to the same place. If they both had a home game, we split up. Not sure if that describes more than a thousand kids all together, but it's something. I assume there is a similar effect with house divided type families, but I'm guessing most of those don't really go every single weekend and more likely say "we're going to six games, here's how they are divided up."

I know several "house divided" famlies who go to a couple games a year in Starkville and a couple in Oxford. Additionally, there are those who are not hard core fans and will go to either place when invited or get free tickets, etc.
