Just curious. Just checked out stubhub and there are only like 92 tickets left on there. Seems like Oxford is going to be a madhouse this weekend and I always enjoy a strong visiting team fan showing. So what's word the word from the north?

I love that campus, but it is probably the least accessible stadium of all the SEC schools when you consider the limited routes in and out of Oxford, and the number of fans pouring into a town ill equipped to handle them.

Fortunately, Oxford is so small that you could almost park outside the city limits and walk to Vaught-Hemmingway if you needed.

Haha yeah. The lack of hotel rooms are crazy. We already checked for Bama weekend next season and only one hotel still has rooms open and it's a Hampton Inn coming in at like $175 a night

How well would Old Mis travel if the game was in Columbia?

28K plus.

Are you trying to setup an excuse as to why there won't be that many fans in town?

Be ready, because A LOT of Missourians will be in Oxford tomorrow.

That is the word around here, everyone and their mother wants to go down there this weekend. I want to go so bad, but I wouldnt be able to leave until 12am tonight because of a hockey game.

I think we understand that this opportunity only comes once or twice in a decade, so we are really excited to experience your town. We hear a lot of great things about your tailgating, women, friendliness, etc. Which, isnt that what the SEC is about? For me, I am looking forward to traveling to Ole Miss, Georgia, and LSU more than any other place in the conference.

I'm sure we'll travel to Oxford better than some, worse than others. I've heard that they blew through their allotment (isn't it 6k?) pretty quick. If I had to guess, and it's purely a guess, I'd say somewhere around 8k to 10k.

GatorReb, I don't know if it was intentional, but it's Mizzou, not Mizzo. :)
