How many REAL consecutive sellouts, LSU fans?

They could probably tell you how many Bama has sold out, but they wouldn't know jack shite about their own team.

I didn't think so. How many REAL consecutive sellouts, LSU fans?

I think is actually
58, no maybe it is
40, but some say it is
4

We have teams like Ole Miss on the home schedule every other year.

How da frick we gonna get up enough interest in a game as shitty as that so we can fill 90,000+ seats?

I think the answer to this question is an obvious yes

i don't know if it's ever actually been done.. 93,000 actual seats being filled... for the bigger games, probably pretty close. but probably 60% full for the scrub OOC games

all the seats are paid for and there is a waiting list.

all of the games are "sold out"

Guys, this isn't supposed to be complicated. I'm not talking about butts in a seat. I'm talking about a simple sellout. The term seems to be a bit convoluted these days.

In 2011, we soldout for an 8th consecutive year, so that means we would be at 11 now. Im pretty sure we have kept it going 8th conseucitve year in 2011

and i gave you an answer with a link. LSU didn't sell out every game last year, like all but 3 or 4 of the teams in the SEC (A&M, MS State, USC, and maybe UGA). So your answer could be anywhere between zero, if the Arkansas game wasn't a sell-out, and five, the total number of home games played minus one since we know LSU didn't sell out every game.

ETA: The attendance of LSU Arkansas was 89,656, so the answer is zero, which I'm sure you already knew. LSU's last sellout was the weekend prior for A&M. Attendance was a shade under 93k

well i mean ole miss hasn't sold out season tickets yet this year and are still up from season ticket sales last year by 2k people, so let's not pretend ole miss has been packing the stands. also, the nutt years were, what, 3 years ago. that's pretty recent. glass houses and shite. attendance has been a nationwide problem that's only getting worse with increased coverage on tv. it's expensive to take an entire family to every home game when you can watch every single game at home. everyone doesn't have that kind of disposable income, right now especially. it's not like the economy is booming

I agree with all of this. I will say, though, that Ole Miss should have a lower attendance than LSU for a couple of reasons:

1. Baton Rouge has a population of 230,000 compared to Oxford's population of 20k on the dot. That's including the 10k growth since 1990. And Oxford doesn't have any Ole Miss cities close by. Memphis a little, but majority of that population could never afford to make that trip. BR has New Orleans(350k+), Lake Charles(80k), and Lafayette(120k) all within an hours drive. Ole Miss getting 60k fans in that stadium is actually pretty impressive.

2. We split Memphis, MSU, and USM in Mississippi. ULL takes away a good portion of fans, but they don't keep LSU fans from attending Death Valley.

This thread is beating a pointless matter, but I'm fine with OM pulling in 60k a game. I was very fortunate to be able to attend every home game growing up(raised in Alexandria), but I know not very many people can make a 12 hour round trip on weekends to see a 3 hour game.
