re: [Dellenger] From speaking to league insiders, this is our best guess of the three rivals

Mizzou barely gets fans at home games. They do not have the passion of a typical SEC team.

True. One positive is we are leading SEC in attendance growth. Last year we had a 17% increase in attendance to a average of 55,000 a game.

We have better attendance than most P5 schools outside of the SEC and Big 10. We are 12th in the SEC(MSU and Vandy). We would be 3rd in the PAC 12, 5th in the ACC, tied for 8th in the Big 10, and 5th in the Big 12. There are lot of schools like UCLA that average around 42,000 a game.

The Chiefs being the best team in the NFL has probably excited football fans and helped us with attendance.

Playing a extra SEC game should help attendance too. In few years if the attendance continues to grow we will need to expand Faurot.
