Guesses? I haven’t seen the base this dissatisfied and angry in quite a while.

I'm sure it will be about as full as usual for a cupcake game. People are still going to go support the team. As they should.

It is the first home game, so I suspect it will be well attended and an on-paper sell out. In practice, I imagine the upper deck is sparse in the end zones.

There will be far fewer people in the stands than Saban’s first A Day.

Speaking of which, I went to DeBoers first A Day. Very lame he stopped it after one year.

It will be full because games like this are often the only ones everyday folks can afford to go to.

Exactly

It’s one of the cheapest games to attend and for quite a few people one of the few or only game they’ll attend

I saw plenty of tickets on StubHub for $13. There are a lot of Wisconsin tickets for less than $50. I might go to the Wisconsin game for that price.

50 dollars is a good buy compared to when UA AD was offering single game tickets for it that were going to end up being like 500 for a pair after taxes and fees to sit in the upper deck - likely in direct sunlight in the North EZ - for an 11am kick.

It was full back during the Mike days. I’m sure it’ll still be full now that we are back.

I know Wisconsin is a 11am game, but that's a decent name opponent...even if they aren't world beaters. They're 1-0 and we're 0-1 right now. Must win obviously.

We shouldn’t be playing cupcakes with an expanded SEC and 12 team playoff.

I’d rather play other SEC schools than FSU and Wisky but at least they are major programs.

Horrible fan experience. I hope people speak with their wallet and the stadium is empty

Well, in 2026 we will play 9 SEC teams and 1 non conference Power 4 team- FSU at home. So like this year 10 Power 4 games.

I’m going to all the SEC home games, and Wisconsin because I’ve paid for all of it. Just like usual but I have a feeling I’m going to be pissed a lot.

I had planned on going to Athens. I canceled that. Obviously anything could happen but we could also get skull dragged across the state of Georgia.

This is one of those games where working class parents who don't have a lot of money for the nicer things can afford to take their kids. And honestly, we need to keep a couple of those on the schedule.

3 and out you’ll hear some boo birds

I’ll probably keep the TV off, step outside and enjoy my Saturday

Hope it’s rocking. It’ll be my 18 years old’s first Bama game as a student. She’s an Alpha Gam.

Means I’ll have to attend a game this year lol.

I’m pissed as hell but my kids are young and want to go to a Bama game so we’ll be there with bells on.

For the record, I hope it’s packed. I’m not looking for some sort of statement. I’m just genuinely curious about it. One of my concerns when we keep increasing capacity is that it’s going to be a really bad look if the program falls to average. It’s a LOT of seats to fill.

I’ll go ahead and tell you that in 2022 and 2023 that swathes of seats were empty in the upper decks for all but the biggest home games.
