“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.”
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.

All good legit points. The Golden Triangle is growing pretty fast indeed but it has a ways to go before I would call it "populated." You did hit it on the head about the hotel situation , Starkville is really growing fast. You know, a few years ago we cut concession prices in half on some food items and bottled water. I wondered if that was a plan to entice more butts in the stands.
