For the Boise game. I can't remember who said it a while back. Ticket master and Georgia Dome wasn't ready to make it official at the time. Now it is. Ticketmaster moved me from 321 row 5 to section 118 row 21. Not bad seats. Only downside is it is in the Boise State section. Ugh.

There are reasons for the closing of the upper deck in the Georgia Dome:

a) Our opponent is traveling from Idaho

b) This is an assumption, but I can't imagine Boise State having a substantial alumni footprint in the Deep South

c) The game is on a Thursday

We sold 35,000 tickets. I wonder how many Alabama and WV sold. It wouldn't be much more than that.

Yeah. 35k, not including Ticketmaster sales. Can't beat seats 21 rows from the field for $38 a ticket.

Chick-Fil-A kickoff game attendance figures
2012 - #14 Clemson v. Auburn - 75,211
2009 - #5 Alabama v. #7 Virginia Tech - 74,954
2011 - #5 Boise State v. #19 Georgia - 73,614
2013 - #1 Alabama v. Virginia Tech - 73,114
2008 - #24 Alabama v. #9 Clemson - 70,907
2010 - #10 LSU v. #24 North Carolina - 68,919
2012 - Tennessee v. North Carolina State - 55,529

The Alabama game will be a sell out.

Individually or together? I think WVU alone sold around 22,000 tickets. So I am guessing Alabama probably sold at least double that amount.

I think Ole Miss has sold around 35,000. Can't fault Ole Miss fans for the empty seats. They should have never moved it to Atlanta. Should be in Oxford.

I don't care... It will be incredible exposure for our blue chip sophomores... Just like Thursday night in Nashville was last season.

That's true. Two NFL stadiums in two weeks on national television.

Why?

We're gonna be the first SEC team on ESPN this year. The Dome will be half-full, but the WHOLE DAMN COUNTRY will be watching.

Contemplating it. Waiting to see if ticket prices go down closer to game day.
