First, here are the final regular season attendance figures for both Arkansas and LSU for the 2009 season. With Arkansas probably blowing it's chances to host a regional and LSU guaranteed a regional, I don't expect the average to change much. If anything the regional/super will increase LSU's overall average for 2009.

LSU
Total Attendance: 353285
Average Attendance: 9548

Arkansas
Total Attendance: 244270
Average Attendance: 7879

Difference
Total Attendance: 109015
Average Attendance: 1669

2009 SEC Baseball Attendance - LSU Leads

quote:
In other words, at this point of EVERY year, Arkansas lags behind in total attendance but once the weather becomes tolerable Arkansas has attendance numbers that far surpass LSU.

quote:
Our average isn't much different than yours.

With both LSU and Arkansas mid week attendance figured in, LSU is averaging about 1,000 more per game.

Substantial but, like I have said a million times, it is always a game of catch up with Arkansas.

Whether you care to discount it or not, our fans show up in larger numbers as the weather warms.

There will not be more than a 500 person difference in averages, just like the last 5 years.

Wrong - LSU averaged 1669 more than Arkansas in 2009

quote:
Any one else want to get bitch slapped with facts?

Fact - 1669

quote:
There is nothing special about LSU attendance when compared to Arkansas. Just more home games. That's all you are really bragging about. You play more home games! Congrats.

LSU had 37 and Arkansas had 34 home games in 2009. Do those 3 games really account for the 109015 difference in total attendance?

quote:
It's all about averages and relatively speaking, it isn't special.

1669 - That's 20%+ higher average attendance than Arkansas.

quote:
total means nothing when you play 5 to 10 more home games. Hell, just schedule more home games and you can jerk yourself off even more.

After this regular season, there is only a 3 game difference. If you really want to make it more even, hope and pray that LSU doesn't host anymore regionals and Arkansas does.

quote:
The only way to measure your support is to look at averages. When you do so, you see that there is absolutely nothing special about LSU when it comes to attendance, relative to Arkansas.

LSU's average attendance in 2009 is 20%+ higher than Arkansas.

quote:
Point being, and I'll bow out, there is nothing whatsoever that is special about LSU's attendance figures when facts are brought to light.

See facts above.

19,356

quote:
LSU has also averaged 5 to 10 more home games and gathers for a Tiger circle jerk over their total attendance despite the average being the same as Arkansas the past five, now 6, years.

The averages were never the same. Most of the last 5 years LSU averaged 500+ more than Arkansas. Consider most of those years were LSU's worst on the field and Arkansas' best on the field.

quote:
1)Arkansas and LSU have averaged practically the exact same amount of asses in the seats the past 5, now 6, seasons.

Nope on the 5 and definitely not the 6th (this season).

quote:
Again, the past 5 seasons is all I have mentioned. 6 if you want to come back at the end of this year. The averages are the same.

1669, 20%+ average attendance is not the same, or even close.

quote:
We have the same end of year average the past 5, and probably end up 6, seasons as LSU despite lower attendance numbers the first half of the season, due to cold temps.

Again, not 6.

quote:
If we matched you in attendance average for 5, soon to be 6, years and the trend continues for the next 20 years, will you still ask what happened pre-2004?

You were way off on this season?

quote:
Which furthers my point, once it warms up, we catch up to LSU.

Nope. Arkansas went from within 1800 of LSU on April 6th to witihin 1400 at the end of the regular season. Nice 400 second half gain. Still 1200+ to go.

quote:
We will be within a few hundred of LSU when it's all said and done, just like the past 5 seasons, one of which we exceeded by 1,000.

It's all silly really. But, I'm right when I say that every single year Arkansas attendance sky rockets once it quits snowing and the weather warms.

I'm just going to keep this thread alive as my childish, silly way of proving my point.

Sky rocket? Someone must have forgotten to light the fuse up in Arkansas. Way to prove your point!!!!
