I was there and couldn't believe how empty it was.

This picture was taken when it was 21-21.



4th quarter when SC led by 7.



This picture was right at the conclusion of the game.

They're pretty shitty this year and some people don't want to spend the time and money to come watch shitty football.

ETA: It probably had more to do with their opponent.

Don't know if it was discussed, but I definitely noticed. Pretty pitiful.

It's tough when you know your team is not good/ playing badly to keep people in the stands...throw in some bad weather and poof they leave. It happened to us in 2012.

Congrats on the pics of the worst stadium attendance in years. Tennessee stadium has seen way worse in the last couple of seasons.

It was cold as frick. Went from 80 degrees to snow in about 2 days. I stuck it out in the upper deck til we got the onside kick.

Coldest game I've ever been to. Couldn't blame people for leaving early.

I noticed the empty stadium. I guess they just aren't very rabid football fans at SC. You wouldn't see the Green Bay Packers fans leaving like that.

People just aren't excited when Tennessee comes to town. It's the equivalent of Kentucky/Vandy

Percentage wise just as many Tenn fans left when we were up by 14. I tried to talk the two next to me out of leaving. I guess they thought is was being a smart arse.
It was cold. The ones left at the end, for either side, were the fans that don't leave games early.
