Is Vandy Always Outnumbered By Away Fans At Home?

It always seems 50/50 at best when they have a game on tv.

LSU crushed them in attendance last year (I think they played there last year) at Vandy.

Arkansas looks like they've taken over too.

Tell me at least they outnumber Kentucky fans when they come to Nashville.

I don't remember the stadium being that empty for the LSU game.

When Bama plays there its usually like 65/35 in favor of Bama

its not far from ttown, and I think there are a bunch of Bama fans in nashville

I dont know if its like that for every SEC teams, but those that are not far from Nashville are usually at least 50/50

yeah... we, lsu, had way more fans there last year than the hogs have right now. the hogs didnt really bring that many fans, but vandy didnt either. lsu had about 20,000 last year and it was almost a sellout. bama and ut are even worse.

I'd say 3/4ths of the stadium last year was purple and gold.

Nope. Nashville is less than an hour away from Kentucky and there's tons of UK fans/alums living in Nashville.

I grew up in Nashville, not a whole lot of Bama fans in Nashville, but go to a lot of other smaller cities/towns and they're everywhere.

really? I grew up in brentwood/franklin and have lived in nashville my entire life and I think theres more bama fans than vol fans. if ut starts winning again that will change though.

nash is a big sec melting pot...theres a ton of bama, auburn, tenn, kentucky, lsu, ole miss, georgia, and florida fans there

Nashville is the 2nd largest city for Bama alumni. Plus Southern Tennessee is closer to Tuscaloosa than Knoxville and some of the counties are in Huntsville's TV market.

Last time we played there was 2007 and it was at least 65-35. There is a lot of hype with Vandy right now, so I imagine tickets would be a little tougher to find.

In 2001, we were buying tickets at the booth for 30 then turning around and selling them to fans for 40. They were either too lazy or too blind to go to the ticket booth. I think we made close to 100 bucks. That's like a thousand to a college kid.

A lot of our students don't show up on time for games. But yes you'll often see large contingents of opposing fans for SEC games
