Sure that is worth a bookmark, I think we will have higher attendance and higher attendance metrics. 
And FYI the students want to stand, it's part of the experience. LSU will always make more money from their stadium than us becuase we give so much excellent seating to students. Standing and yelling is how one generation after another shows appreciation for that privilege.

...and you no longer have that crutch to prop you up, as you've downsized your stadium. Thus you will have to hobble to your inevitable defeat without any hope whatsoever.
Start your buzz early...never let it wane.

per the kyle field site, all 2015 seating options are already sold out.
Waitlist
Due to the tremendous support of the best fan base in college football, the 12th Man, we are currently sold out of seating options for the 2015 season. It is possible that additional seating options will become available prior to the start of the 2015 Aggie football season. Your opportunity to secure those seating options comes from enrolling in the Redevelopment of Kyle Field Seating Option Wait List.

Been posted before. I expect it will come down to Standing Room Only (SRO) to make a difference.

Just chair backs? I can't speak for Texas A&M, or anyone else. But you only have to eyeball it...
...to know LSU has more than anyone else in this conference. The original stands in Tiger Stadium held 24,000 seats...those are all chair back seats now. There's also the field level seats, also chair back. All told, 22,000+.
Then you count the combined suite seats...136 suites, 30 capacity. Then the club seating, 6,700 between south and west clubs. The west club seats 3,500, the south 3,200.
Altogether, that's nearly 33,000 chair back seats out of a total capacity of 102,321. So 32.25% of Tiger Stadium seats are chair backs, by far the highest percentage in the SEC.

Just dont count LSU attendance after halftime.

too lazy to look any further into this (and run actual numbers), but as long as we're eyeballing, i think KF gives TS a run for it's money.
the lower 2/3 of the north and west sides is all chair seating.
the east side 1st deck between the 30s is bleacher-seat-back
the 3rd deck west side rows 1-6 between the 20s is chair seating.
i'm sure you've ran the numbers on the suite/club seating as you are pretty heavily involved in these threads, and likely know more about those arangements at KF than i do.

Neyland is a dump folks:
As so many Ranters have said, "Why, I wouldn't set foot in that trash heap! That's why I don't know what the hell I'm talking about!"

Kyle Field has no where near the 22,000+ chair back seats along the sideline and on the field that Tiger Stadium does.
The sideline stands are 100% chair back seating. Half of the east and west side upper decks are chair back seats. The on field seats are 100% chair back. Our suites are bigger than yours, with the exception of the 12 Founder's suites, and even those are close in size. We have 22 more suites. We have 1,700 more club seats.
I'd be shocked if more than 20%...and that's being generous...of Kyle Field is chair back seating. Even your Founder's Suites have a portion of their seats as bar stools.
Not hatin' here. It is what it is. Tiger Stadium just has a different design philosophy that Kyle Field and most other stadiums.

Attendance Report thru games 01/12/2015
LSU - 712,063 (stadium capacity 102,321...99.42 pct capacity per game)
Texas A&M - 630,735 (stadium capacity 106,300...98.89 pct capacity per game)
So A&M averaged over 3k more a game? Last year was a transitional year. We chose not to sell several sections for season tickets last it. It was all filled with students. That's why we set student attendance records that LSU would never ever come close to matching 100 years.
Every game is already sold out. Its just a matter of how many students we decide to let in.

Poor LSU, A&M makes Kyle Field significantly smaller and it's still bigger than Tiger Stadium. Y'all are s'cute.
Posted on 4/24/15 at 10:35 am to TigersOfGeauxld
So we'll likely be at over over 100%.
Which one matters more? Total or %?

What I am sure of, is LSU will be higher in more attendance metrics than Texas A&M. After all, we're much nicer to our fans. We give them better sightlines, more chairback seats, easier access to amenities. And we don't ask them to stand. Why wouldn't we have better attendance?

did you even look at the link i sent? 2/3 of the entire west and north sides are chair seating. not bleacher with a back rest, chair seating. hard to believe that there arent 22,000 seats included there alone.
not only does chair seating kick the shite out of aluminum with a back rail, but more of these seats will be in the shade versus the equivalent areas in tiger stadium.

I did. I gave you the numbers before, but I'll repeat them if you like. Our suites on average hold nearly twice as many people as yours do. And we have more. More club seats, more seats in the stands...both sides.
That new south end zone addition we built, the one that added 10,000 seats...all but the 1,500 general seats up top are premium seats.
I said around 20% for Kyle Field is chair back seats, and I'm still comfortable with that.
Posted on 4/24/15 at 11:03 pm to TigersOfGeauxld
who cares who's suites hold more people? is that something people measure dicks with? does not getting enough people in the suite effect you personally?
counting the rows at KF, 60% of the north side is chair seating+. over 66% of the west side is chair seating+.
this same exercise at TS suggests that the upper decks are not half chair seating. aluminum bleachers with a back rest (1st decks between the end zones) is not the same as chair seating.
which concourses at TS are climate controlled?

Whoa, slow your roll. This isn't personal, it's about getting the count accurate. I wasn't bragging about LSU's suites being bigger...although I could have...but explaining why Tiger Stadium is at 32% chair back seating and Kyle Field isn't.
That's it.
Now good night, and a good life to you.
Posted on 4/24/15 at 11:13 pm to TigersOfGeauxld
please explain how TS is 32% while KF is around 20%.
EDIT: and is adding a back rail to a bleacher what passes for "premium" seating at TS?
