what would the break down of the crowd be? Auburn fans are getting cocky with the smack talk of a 80/20 crowd in Atlanta. It has more to do with geography than fan support. In ST louis its probably 80/20 Missouri fans.

It wouldn't be 80/20 at either location.

Probably just barely in MUs favor. They don't travel well. Never saw any of them in CS like NU or the OK schools back in B12 days. They always get passed over for bowls because bowls don't believe they'll fill the stadium.

The Georgia Dome, 90% of the time, is slightly under "home-game" level for us.

And then the opposing team's athletic department was dumb enough to put tickets online?

I don't care why, but we'll be playing in Jordan-Hare East on Saturday.

It's not cocky...the fact is that we bought all the tickets.

If it were in Nashville it would be evenly split.

Oregon was closer to Glendale than Auburn was in Jan 2011.

I expect we'd sell out all our tickets to season ticket holders and students and at minimum fill our section. As for the corporate split, would most likely favor mizzu.

Disagree. Aubie fans would go to the SECCG if it were in Seattle.

Yeah, I bet if the game was in Columbia, MO it'd be like 80/20 Missouri!

Not even close. Do you know how well our fan base travels? We outnumbered Oregon by a lot in Arizona.

Those yanks are too busy concerning themselves with KC Chiefs football and the StLCards offseason.

Barn would still dominate attendance in Missouri.

What is it with you Arkansas fans today wanting to move the SECCG? It's in Atlanta, and it'll stay there till Birmingham builds a dome and we bring that game back home



New Rule: If your team HASN'T WON the SECCG, you get no fricking vote in moving it.

60-40. Auburn would travel to St. Louis, at least at first. Now, if we've already played Mizzou up there a few times, or already played in the title game a few times, sure. But it would be unique, at least at first.

If I was a Mizzou fan I'd definitely be coming heavy to this game, it's not like you guys have played football here very much.

I'd like to see it rotated yearly between Dallas and Atlanta.
