Congrats on your son's infinite popularity! That's awesome.
The bleachers I guess are OK, but I've never understood why anyone would want to sit on the track at field level - but they do. And my parents did in the 70's a couple of times, but they were Baylor grads so it served them right.

Seem optimistic.

LSU's "98%" capacity is hilarious.
I doubt it topped 85% at any point for any game all year.

Does A&M fill the stadium to capacity during OOC games (Rice, etc.)?

I guess kick-off of the home opener against UAB might have been full, but that's the only time I can think of.

Mizzou adds its temporary/SRO seating in its capacity number, so if someone doesn't want to sit on the hill or stand to watch them play SEMO it's not a sellout (not that it matters, our HS stadium only seats and stands 67k during the renovation anyway). I think 100% capacity is the most we could get, but we're not a math school.

Pretty sure Mizzou actually counts turnstyle numbers in attendance as well, so if they sell 60,000 tickets and 46,000 show up the attendance is 46,000.
I know we were one of the few that did that a few years ago, not sure if that's standard now.

Which will mean attendance for your loser son's party was even further from capacity.

They don't unless remarkably everyone comes to the game with a ticket; the capacity is 67,124 (or something like that) and they've hit it a few times this year. Last year it was 71,004 on the dot and they would hit it a few times per year.

How did A&M post accurate numbers past 100%? There were "87,451" Saturday at JHS...I know there were more in the stadium.
Same reason alabama says they are 100% every game, but then also says they have have had at least 3-4k empty student seats in every game. It's great pr.

Well, OK... I revise my statement. I've never understood why anyone would want to sit on the track at field level unless it was to watch a monumental upset and be within earshot of the two Pelini's having conniption fits.

Bo is a national treasure for entertainment value. The only SEC coach that comes close is Boom, and he's really not that close.
