I was there and couldn't believe how empty it was.

This picture was taken when it was 21-21.



4th quarter when SC led by 7.



This picture was right at the conclusion of the game.

They're pretty shitty this year and some people don't want to spend the time and money to come watch shitty football.

ETA: It probably had more to do with their opponent.

Don't know if it was discussed, but I definitely noticed. Pretty pitiful.

It's tough when you know your team is not good/ playing badly to keep people in the stands...throw in some bad weather and poof they leave. It happened to us in 2012.

Me and my buddy had to bounce early cause one of our Marines decided it was a good night to get a DUI so we had to go get yelled at by Gunny.

I get this. I just have heard so many times how dedicated Cock fans are.

Yeah our end of season #4 ranking was horrible. Not going to Atlanta wasn't ideal, but it didn't "ruin" our season.

Plus we're South Carolinian. We're used to 70+ degree weather in November. It SNOWED on gameday. I can't remember that EVER happening.

Really glad I was in the lower level, that upper deck must have been cold as balls.

I was lower West Side, very low on the West Side, and my watch said it was 31 degrees with a wind chill of 26.

It felt colder.

With that said, most of the ones who left early were women. They were leaving in droves. Nothing but men were remaining by the end of the game. You saw very few of the ladies.

We're definitely not used to that sort of weather as a fan base.

I agree though, the place looked a lot like Neyland has for the past few years prior to this season.

We started-out full, but by the time it ended, which it ended very late, game ran four and a half hours, people were cold and tired of the bullshite defense.

Congrats on the pics of the worst stadium attendance in years. Tennessee stadium has seen way worse in the last couple of seasons.

Almost too good not to bite. We aren't Tennessee fans. That was an anomaly.

Umm, no it hasn't. Not even close. As bad as we have been, we still have great attendance game in and game out.

I was in row 43, section 5. Got the ticket for $30.

So glad scalping is illegal in SC, lol.
