Or even loud for that matter? You had a top 20 matchup and yall can't even sell out a 55k seat coliseum. When I tuned in I saw vast, enormous, gapping amounts of open sections. I don't understand. Hey, Lane Kiffy, we'll take you off their hands and have a 85k seat sellout every home game. We'll be loud from the time you hear sandstorm until the last fan leaves the stadium.

One of the corners I saw that had some open seats near the top is a visitors section....so there's also that.


But also....11AM game and Oxford is a small town. So you don't have the same amount of in-town fans as most other SEC schools.

Why does South Carolina suck so bad and have historically?

The better question is why do we have better home attendance with a shite program? More loyal fans? Ding ding.

Shortage of pimento cheese finger sandwiches at the grove?

Stadium seats 64,000+, not 55,000. Seated nearly 67,000 for a recent Bama game. The gaps you saw were mainly in the visitor's section--a few thousand on Arkansas. Some of them didn't show up.

Stadium seats 67k when full. Also the empty sections were Arky sections.

Try again

There were empty seats sprinkled in all over.

And most SEC towns visitor tickets get scooped up if available. Kiffin begged fans all week to show up.

I bet there were 15 to 18k Arkansas fans at that game.

There were tons of Arkansas fans in the OM section.

To answer the OPs question. Ole Miss fans don’t care about the game itself. They don’t have great fan support which is why Lane has to continue to beg them to come to games. It’s sad they can’t get 45k of their own fans in a 11am game when they are ranked top 15

We all know this isn’t true. Arkansas probably brought 30k to your 60k stadium bud.

Makes sense that that 6% unfilled capacity were passed out over cold chicken tenders.

Makes you wonder how long Lane will put up with that non-sense before he leaves for a better program. Like FSU or South Carolina

Better question is why didn’t Arkansas fans travel to support their team?!

I’m guessing they realized their team isn’t really all that and they were going to get beat, so why bother putting the wheels back in the mobile home and make the trip to Ole Miss
