I wasn't being defensive at all. Just trying to be funny, not saying I was successful, just that I was trying.

45% Bama fans since they expected to be there before season started
35% UGA fans
10% Corporate
10% LSU fans who refuse to believe that they lost to UF & Bama and deserve to be there

and if we don't want Georgia fans there, we you'll just make them work on Saturday. Since we are their bosses and all.

Thing is we have to go back 3 years to count that many losses. You guys have 3 in 2012 alone.
Relax. UGA will give Bama only ONE loss Saturday.

Remember, you are not Ga Tech. You are Tuscaloosa bums.

You act like Saban has dominated Richt. It's only 2-3 Saban. CMR will even it up Saturday.

This thread is awesome...it reminds me of all the "home dome" threads from last year. People forget that Trailers in both states will be double mortgaged for tickets to this game.

Atlanta is not Trailerville, I mean Tuscaloosa.

It will be as close to 50/50 as can be. The only difference would be the people in the parking lot with cash, negotiating with the scalpers in this city, and I give UGA fans the edge there.

Not sure what percentage of the stadium is club level, but those ticket holders get first rights to their seats

It's always 50% unless UGA is in it. The game is in the city were all their fans live.

Usually an extremely easy ticket to get, but this game is different. Usually only one team is playing for a berth in the NC game. That stadium will be packed.

Alabama has always had a crowd advantage every time we've been there.

This will be the third straight time (2008,2009,2012) that Alabama has been there where both teams are playing for a BCS title berth.

That stadium will be packed.


Always is regardless of the situation.

It will favor UGA because of the corporate sponsors.

quote:

Only 16,000 tickets go to the two competing teams, according to the SEC. That leaves another 40,000 that are gobbled up quickly among corporate sponsors (6,800), the SEC and other member schools (4,600), Georgia Dome suite holders (4,600) and lease holders (4,000) and, most notably, the SEC Championship game renewable ticket holders (20,000).

See the quote from the AJC as to why this is a big advantage for Alabama. And that's exactly half of the tickets that don't go to the two schools.
