Just to jump back into attendance - we generally sell out 5-6 SEC games a year, especially when we are playing well and people are excited (like this season). Our gym seats 15,000. Contrast that with Auburn (9,120), Ole Miss (9,500) and Georgia (10,523). So, we have 5/14 games that are at 90% actually butt in the seats capacity and it makes sense our average attendance would be ~10K, even if for the bad home OOC games the place is 1/3 full and the mid-week SEC games it is 3/4 of 2/3 full.
I wonder if there is a package deal for Bama Fans, if they are season ticket holders in Basketball, they get some preference for football season tickets ?

Basketball season tickets count towards your Tide Pride points which counts towards your overall ability to buy season tickets for all sports.
So, lots of the upper level Tide Pride folks buy basketball season tickets and only use them for big games. That is why games like Norfolk State and Winthrop the area behind the benches looks awful but the student section and 2nd level are generally 75% full.
It sucks and at the very least they need to move them somewhere else if they aren't going to come to 2/3 of the games.
