Because of JFF, for majority of the 2000s Kyle field was half empty unless it was against Texas or OU.
Actually in the 00's we still averaged more than Ole Miss.
Unless your Sooner side is saying that, in which case frick you in your meth-addled inbreeding mouth because we took all your recruiting pipelines into Texas and shoved them up your arse.

Again, when you set aside 30K seats, 10% can not show up and you still have more students than the most LSU has all year.
You also have what, over 50,000 students? I would hope half of your students would make it for the games.

Then Rice this year. And yes I am talking about student section. Are those good games, no (actually rice this year was pretty interesting due to lack of defense). But if you are saying you fill up for EVERY game, they I respectfully disagree. Agree to disagree. It is still an amazing big game environment.

we averaged 82k in sherms first year here. we won 4 games that year

well that's the point, everyone is going off on how student attendance is declining, well it isn't for us

Does anyone know if A&M's student attendance has been declining?

its growing

It grew when we came to the SEC, because we opened up more seats as a concession when we moved some students to account for SEC rules:

But your Size to student population isn't all that impressive (it is better than UF, but still not great). AU could drop their size down to closer to 50% and be full every game.
I haven't been to any of the small games at kyle field, but I will be hard pressed to believe it is actually 100% capacity for those games. I'm talking about the shitty FCS games and what not. If it actually is, kudos, but I honestly won't believe that until I see it.

Okay. So is that better than it use to be?

Also, does A&M's student section have assigned seats?
Posted on 2/18/14 at 4:34 pm to GoCrazyAuburn
I cant speak from experience like can with the past 3 years, but I would assume its the same as always considering we still averaged attendance into the 80ks even when we were terrible

Yea our seats are assigned based on when we pull. When you pull is based on class year

That is another issue with this type of study. Auburn has no assigned seats, and they oversell like crazy. It is a pain in the arse for the SEC games especially. So, even when the report for the student section is at 100% capacity, it is more like 110%, however that is impossible to show up on any research.
Posted on 2/18/14 at 4:39 pm to GoCrazyAuburn
we are the definition of overselling, we give a lot of standing room tickets once we sell out
Posted on 2/18/14 at 4:40 pm to WestCoastAg
To the student section?
Posted on 2/18/14 at 4:40 pm to GoCrazyAuburn
