Cite at least two home games this year in which your stadium will be packed to the brim, standing room only.

Also, cite at least two away games in which your team will play in a packed stadium, standing room only.

I'm not talking "sell outs," because we all know how skewed those numbers are. Every game is a sellout according to the ticket offices.

I am talking jam packed, standing room only, packed to the brim crazy true SEC environment games. Two of them at home and two of them on the road.

Guarantee it for whatever reasons.

For SCAR:

Williams-Brice Stadium capacity 80,250, most ever 85,199 vs UGA in 2012. (Eighteen game home winning streak, the longest in the country, will probably dictate that all home games will be packed to the brim as long as the streak continues.)

Home

A&M 82k+ - season opener, hoopla & hype, SEC Network, first game between the two programs. Columbia is shutting down at noon that Thursday.

UGA 82k+- border game, key game in the SEC East. Dawg fans travel in droves to this non-rivalry game.

Tennessee 82k+ - there is a revenge factor this year, plus UT fans travel well. Key SEC East game for SCAR.

Away

Auburn 88k+ - key game for both teams. (Jordan Hare capacity 87,451)

Florida 90k+ - the Spurrier factor, key game in the SEC East. (Ben Hill Griffin capacity 88,548, largest crowd 90,902 vs FSU 2009)

Clemson 82k+ - rivalry, hate, five year winning streak. (Memorial Stadium capacity 80,500, largest crowd 86,092 vs FSU 1999)

There are some teams that will be lucky to play in front of four packed stadiums this coming season, some may not play in front of two unless one of them is on the road.

Bookmarked.

Depends on the schedule for the home games.

It should be that way for every LR game, but their fickle fair weather fan base has deemed schools not ranked in the top10 to be "beneath them attending", so they draw 40K on a good day to their high school stadium.

In Fayetteville, Bama, Texas, LSU would be the games to draw that kind of crowd.

On the road, LSU and Texas.

Our opening game in expanded Davis Wade against Southern Miss will be packed. The second game would have to be Auburn. No doubt that game will be maximum capacity.


For the away games, the Egg Bowl is an obvious answer. The LSU vs. State game in Death Valley will also be a sell out due to the fact that we will be good this year and it's LSU's SEC opener.

Eff

Couple weeks ago I lined up GT & Auburn's schedules side-by-side to try and decide which games I could make. Totally had Arkansas penciled in as away.

May have to skip Wofford for Auburn/Arky

LSU for sure then a toss up between Lamar(first game at home) & Ole Miss.

Away
I woudl imiagine we pack @Bama, vs Ark in Jerryworld, & @Auburn. However the most full stadium will be @SMU. Last time we played there we set a record for season passes sold. It ended up being $10 more for season tickets vs just the A&M, but it guaranteed you a ticket and were etter seats.
