We're never going to break any Spring Game records as long as we're playing Spring Games on Master's weekend. Go to any Masters and you'll see more Gamecock fans there than any other ... I've never quite understood why either, but we own that tourney for some reason. Then, if you switch weekends and move it up a week you run into the Aiken Steeplechase.
Just too much going-on in the Spring in Gamecock Land, but I'll take crowds of 35-40k and be happy until we win our first MNC.

Sounds like Auburn will have a packed house and I'm expecting Bama to be >90k

That's right people... don't underestimate the lack of sh*t to do in Alabama on a beautiful spring day...
I went fishing and did some turkey hunting last Friday & Saturday - both were beautiful spring days. (Killed a nice gobbler.)
This Saturday I plan to go to T'town to watch my favorite team scrimmage, meet up with a few friends, have a few drinks, eat some of momma's home cookin, etc.
Both were are a great way to spend a weekend outdoors, IMO.

Do any schools charge for the spring game? A&M is $5. I heard the Kentucky game was free.

considering the product they put on the field Kentucky must have been giving away signed glossies of a topless ashley judd

Didn't Ohio got the record for a spring practice attendance?
Anyway, I hope Tennessee breaks it this coming saturday. (not going to happen
)

Half the stadium must be closed.

Getting fans into the west side would be pretty difficult right now.

quote:I doubt if it's that high. The LSUAD just refuses to understand that we don't like football in Tiger Stadium during the day, even final spring practices. They're missing a golden opportunity to put a little money in the bank, but apparently don't care about what the fans want. I wouldn't mind driving over, but I don't attend actual games in the day, more less a spring game.
LSU will prob be around 30K. Spring games kinda suck IMO. Got better shite to do
Some LSU fans actually think Cam Cameron is going to unveil his complete "New and Improved" offense at the game.

False. Did you forget the Masters is in Georgia?
There are way more UGA fans/alumni there than other schools.

I'm going mainly to see how much playing time Jennings gets, plus see how he does against 1st team.

It's right over the state line, dipshit. It's not like you've gotta book a flight from Aiken to get to Augusta.
