Saving up for the expected return trip to Atlanta in December?

Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game organizers expect a crowd of 35,000 for the Boise State-Ole Miss football game on Aug. 28 at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.

Capacity is 71,250, which means the stadium will be about half-empty.

The new AD at BS is the old assistant AD at UK so I can see the SEC cross scheduling happen more.

That's what you get for scheduling a game on a Thursday night at a neutral location, with one team being from two time zones away and having a small fan base to begin with.

EDIT: From that article, Boise has sold only 1,800 tickets for the game. So don't delude yourself into thinking that Ole Miss is the problem. Our fans travel well.

Hell I may go to the game.

I now know why my falcons season tickets had the option of reserving tickets for this game.

Ole Miss- If you don't have money, at least look and act like you do please.

Hopefully the neutral site fad is coming to an end.

I hope so too. There is no reason that game should be played in that circus tent.

I heard a Boise writer on the radio say that BSU as a whole was so unprepared to go to this game he wasn't even sure the coaches knew what day it was.

On the inside it doesn't look like a circus tent. But I understand your lack of knowledge on this.

There are no excuses for 35,000 fans at a CFB Kickoff game.

Make no mistake, Ole Miss fans will be there.


Pretty tall task to ask Boise's fan base to get there on a Thursday night.

That's a good deal of $$ logistically regardless. They probably shouldn't have raised their hand on this one.

Boise will have more fans in Atlanta than Vandy will have in Titans stadium the next weekend.

We've already bought half of the tickets in the goddamn Georgia Dome.

They're pretty much giving away a free ticket to this if you purchase one of the remaining tickets to the Bama-WV game.


LINK
ticket to the Aug. 28 Ole Miss vs. Boise Game (lower level)
1 ticket to FanZone on Aug. 28
1 ticket to the Aug. 30 Alabama vs. West Virginia Game (upper level, sections 301-302, 342-343 or 352 - these are better seats than any single-game ticket you'll find!)
1 ticket to FanZone on Aug. 30
That's a $185 value for $110 each
