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).

Again, I got my information directly from the Arkansas website. Arkansas had 34 games, on 31 home dates. Arkansas played double headers threee times. Unlike LSU, Arkansas doesn't count attendance for each game, just the overall attendance for the day. LSU counts attendance for each game. Whereas Arkansas counts three of your double headers as a single game for attendance purposes, your average is also calculated on the lower number of "home dates". It has a minimal affect, either way, overall.
