SECsports.com has games before last weekends as:

LSU 36 346,380 9,538
Arkansas 27 213,693 7,914


This is much different than yours, even with 3 games added to Arkansas.



You didn't disappoint.

Thanks.

LSU had 37 and Arkansas had 34 home games in 2009. Do those 7 games really account for the 109015 difference in total attendance?


Arkansas had 30 home games, not 34.

So, 7 more games x 8k = 56k

So......yes.....the combination of shite weather to start the season, a full blown rain storm for LSU, and a complete end of season meltdown pretty much accounts for the 40k difference in the schools (if we were playing the avg. game).

The whole "paid" attendance doesn't really make much difference.

I think because of the unpredictable and often cold weather, we have a lot more people walk up and buy tickets. I did that personally about 8 times this year.

LSU wins.

We're second in the nation. Not too shabby.
