Any kind of drop is discouraging, especially when you just built the greatest $400 billion stadium college football has ever witnessed.

This is not true when it comes to Florida, even during our losing season under Muschamp we averaged 98.7% capacity.

Love going to games. Traffic and concessions, not so much.
But it has become financially absurd. A trip to a minor SEC game for me involves 12-15 hours and about $500-600 tickets and expense cost.
Or, I could lean back in my leather recliner, grill a steak at halftime and conveniently avoid the band, and spend some quality time with the missus after the game in the warm afterglow of a rival stomping.
Not much of a decision to make there.

The drop is due to the new suites added to the south end zone. The official capacity of VHS was 59,347 this year.

Are you serious with this shite? We averaged 85,000+ just last year (a year after a 4-8 record).

UF has more Fair Weather fans than anyone else in college football and it isn't even close.

It was longest recorded I believe, when it was snapped it was the 4th longest in the country behind Nebraska, Notre Dame and Michigan.

The drop was due to the stadium being built. We had more capacity last year before it was finished.

Lol we haven't been good in a freaking decade and still show up. You won a national championship 6 years ago, had 3 or so bad years since then and Jump back up 5 % when you win 10 games (while cheating. Btw)

So 103,622 fans got to see that shi*show in College Station every Saturday? Them Texan's love them some football... mediocre football but still impressive nonetheless.

Let's build more 100K stadiums!

The stadium shrunk 3% this y at I believe. So we had a net 2% increase of seats filled vs seats available

If you take the South Carolina game out of LSUs total, LSU is easily over 100,000
