That may be but I wonder what the typical fan we lose looks like. Are the people we lose the ones that drive in, tailgate, and leave? Or the ones that drive in on Friday, eat out Friday night, grab either a quick breakfast or dinner out on saturday depending on the time of the game, and then eat brunch sunday morning on the way out of town. I assume the ones with condos or homes are still coming and that they are typically spending money. I assume will lose some of the ones driving in and driving out, but that they will be the ones to come to a game or two less, not just quit altogether.

I think the ones we're most likely to lose are the ones that are coming in and paying for two nights of hotel rooms at inflated prices and eat out and maybe even shop for their tailgate in starkville. I guess if we are losing those, maybe all that will happen is hotel prices will come down and somebody will replace them if hotel prices drop enough.
