We aren't 80k....76k

Probably will still be less than 80k even after our next renovation bowling in the north end zone.

So Kyle Field will be complete for the start of this coming season? That is pretty cool if true.

10rc will not like this. Seats in Neyland will get even smaller now.

Why 109K people would consistently show up for a team that will never crack the top two in its division is beyond me.

I'll be truthful... After this wave of expansion, I'd be surprised if the top half of that list tries to expand anymore with nothing but reports of declining attendance.

I've been to a game at Neyland. That stadium AT BEST seats 90,000. They keep expanding their seating capacity without any construction. They may be able to (one day) jam 102K+ in there, but it isn't because of the same reasons that LSU, Bama, or A&M can fit 102K+ into their stadiums.

Yay! 101,000 seats so that 50,000 people can now leave in the 3rd quarter against Florida or Auburn to "beat traffic."

I love LSU and Tiger Stadium, but it has become a joke the last 4-5 years with entitled fans who show up for the party and leave early if LSU is playing anyone except Alabama.

Sorry, Tide fans. You're in our head. And, because of it, Tiger Stadium is losing our luster unless we play you.

The good news is that Alabama comes to Tiger Stadium this year and there will be 2 years of pent up frustration. The bad news is that we have to play Alabama.

I'd honestly like to see some of these stadiums smaller and more compact filled with fans who were going to stay the whole game and be loud.

My favorite stadium in the SEC has to be Jordan-Hare. I try to go to every LSU-Auburn game there because I live in Alabama and that place makes my ears bleed.

What I took away from this is that A&M has the best fans, and Mizzou is better than Arkansas.

smaller is better in this day and age. everybody wants to stay home and watch on their big screen tv rather than make the trip to a game

these teams going big right now aren't planning well for the future of everybody watching from home

For 2014 I don't think UK will drop from 67,000, but I think they will for 2015.
