The game sold out earlier this week. Oxford isn't an easy travel distance if you are further than JXN, Tupelo, Memphis. Games against minor opponents in 90 degree weather result in light attendance. SEC games will all be well attended.
We have same issues at MSU. Unless it's a conference game we aren't gonna get crowds. Both Ole Miss and State were built up north Mississippi where there is low populations. It's not like an LSU or Tennessee in populated cities.
It's a long drive for most.

Ole Miss and State are located in the least populous area of the least populous SEC state, and people are in here acting like we are ridiculous for not filling every seat in 95 degree weather against Tulsa.

This is true but it is much better today than it used to be. State is now accessible by three different four lane highways and the Golden Triangle area has seen significant growth.
The stadium was about 32K until 1986 and it now seats 60K. There was about 55K for the Memphis game on Labor Day weekend and it was a night game. The hotel situation w much better today than it was 30+ years ago.
I do agree they need to reduce capacity by making the seat size wider.
Attendance is a problem across the board for a variety of reasons, cost, comfort at home, large screen TV’s etc.
