Say your playing Alabama, do you expect better than 60-40??? Long haul for a majority of your fan base.

Assuming this is a serious question - Mizzou would travel extremely well for a game like that. The distance wouldn't matter - easy flight, and not a terrible drive. I'm not sure how the allotment works for that game, but we would sell that out and then some.

Dude. The Ruffians travel well. It's a good program with good fan support and money.

Remember folks. The Ruffians were in the Big 8 and Big Twatever for a loooooooooooonng time and still had a decent program. This is only the beginning.

I imagine you'd see a lot travel down just to get away from that awful Northern winter they have to deal with in December.

You are asking the wrong question

Mizzou to ATL would be a demand game, but the real question is what premium would Mizzou fans part with to attend the game?

Think of basketball and the value of ATL if say Kentucky is playing Arkansas in the Pitino / Richardson era vs Ole Miss vs South Carolina. Alabama heading to ATL will drive the price up but will Mizzou fans match that and drive up further or will they sell out and cause the price to fall. Alabama football and Kentucky basketball travel like no other. When I see a question like the OP has asked it looks like a question of how high will Mizzou fans go for a ticket to the game is the real question.

I'd be surprised if Mizzou had more than 30% fans. I think they'd sell their allotment but the actual schools don't get a ton if I remember correctly. A ton are given out to Atlanta business/corporate sponsors and those usually favor Georgia or Bama. We still have a big majority when we play LSU in the game.

I will be there if we make it. But won't we be the farthest from campus any fanbase has ever had to travel to the SEC title game? For that reason alone there will be a numbers drop off from usual, I would expect. On the otherhand the novelty and sheer joy of actually being there will be a big deal to our fanbase, so the hype factor could negate the distance somewhat.

The corporate tickets favor the east side. In Bama/mizzou it would go to Bama
