I mean, that's cute and all, but I'm not sure about the "4,000 average attendance" that NYT is talking about.


so you dont believe me?


you were able to search the other quickly, but glanced right over the actual attendance figures.



Its not a bad thing, Bama does it well. They package basketball tickets with several thousand football tickets. its a forced buy to get the football tickets. it in turn, elevates their tickets sold attendance numbers

I think the games like Norfolk State and Southern Miss probably draw 4-5K people (1/3 capacity). I think almost all SEC games draw about 10K minimum, and about half our home games are 90% filled (Kentucky, Auburn, LSU, this year A&M).

Mesh all that together and you come to an average of somewhere around 10K.

Do I believe you that our actual average, butt in seat attendance is only 4,000 per game? Not even a little bit. I don't even see how that's feasible when we basically pack the house for pretty much every decent SEC game, and most weekend games in general.
