Auburn has historically had some of the lowest attendance figures in the SEC. Auburn did not care, generally, about basketball pre-Pearl.


Attendance issues at Auburn haven't been limited to basketball.

In 2009, I watched Greg McElroy hit Roy Upchurch with that game-winning pass, right in front of me as I and my three buddies sat in my lower bowl endzone seats...season tickets I had bought right off the Auburn website...with no donation required and no waiting list. Even in the dark days of Shula, no Auburn fan would have been able to do the same at Alabama.

I did the same. Bought a "six-pack" for less than $500 and got two other SEC games - Ole Miss and ? I gave away all of the other game tickets and kept the Iron Bowl tickets.
