That's going to make a lot of room for the 40k that actually go to their games!

"Understand, Ole Miss doesn't sell out every game as it is. Capacity of Vaught-Hemingway is 60,580. Last year, Ole Miss averaged 55,898. The year before, it was 55,767. When completed, the expansion will boost stadium capacity over 70,000."

We filled them up in 2008 and 2009.
It's tough to fill up a stadium for a season like we had last year but we're not exactly planning to go 4-8 ever season.....

Can't wait till that big football expansion. Pete must love empty seats.

Hopefully this expansion will be done in time for the next Tennessee game to accommodate our West Tennessee fans.

Is that the Houston Nutt buyout? Platinum Handcuffs this time?

With the stadium expansion I wonder if they will make the "SEC WEST CHAMPS" banner bigger?

Money talks. Hope it'll be the start of something.

That's 300 million for the poorest state in the nation. 90,000 season tickets sold between the two schools. Says a lot about the spirit of MSU/OM football that in this economy we are going forward and trying to compete in this meat grinder
