Yet, LR can't sell out the small stadium because "who the opponent" is.


What's the excuse for not selling out DWRRS for ULL?


THE PROGRAM deserves better than scheduling Samford.
THE FANS STATEWIDE deserve better than scheduling Samford. At the ticket prices, fans deserve to see more than a 'scrimmage'.

It's coming. The SEC Network/Playoff will force a 9 game conference schedule and fans will get their money's worth.

You go to see the Hogs play if you're a real Hogs fan. The opponent doesn't matter. It's sad to see that you just don't get it.

What does that have to do with WMS not being able to sell 53k tickets to central Ark "fans"?

69,801 of 72k showed up to watch a sunbelt team @ DWR-RS. That is 97% of a much larger stadium full.

Last year 53,089 of 53,955, that is barely 98% of a much smaller stadium hosting a game for the "fans who can't make it to DWR-RS".

But I guess the opponent was big time enough for Central Arkansas.
