Survive was probably an overstatement but Starkville won't do just fine if it loses say 10,000 fans on average over 7 home games. Even if a lot of those fans don't spend much money other than on a hotel, that will still be a lot of money not pumped into the starkville economy. It will certainly survive and adjust, but there will be some short term pain adjusting to losing that much revenue on a yearly basis and of course it won't grow like it could if it still had that money coming in.
