Still doesn't help a family of 3 who have to drop a $1000 for a weekend trip to Oxford when you consider the 2 night hotel minimum, food, and tickets. Not a ton of people are going to make the trip from Texas or Atlanta to watch us play Vandy.
bullshite. We have PLENTY of fans between Tupelo, Jackson, and Memphis.
You'll never be able to convince me that +30% of our gameday crowd comes from fricking Atlanta and Texas.

Both of you are right to a sense. Yes, we have plenty of fans but the last 5 years have been pretty dismal affairs until this season. We went through the NCAA mess, Luke years, and COVID. The price of the tickets are too high. That's the reality of Mississippi life. We have a lot of rich fans but we also have a shite ton of people trying to just get by. The worst part of the whole equation is the parking. If they fixed parking, where non-pass holders didn't have to spend an hour driving around Oxford trying to find a spot in one of a thousand small lots, more people would be willing to attend.
But don't get me wrong... fan support is still down. I tried to start a Hotty Toddy in the Grove for the LSU game and not a damn person joined in. I've never had that happened. Our fans are completely flat. They are simply waiting to be let down at this point.

Evidently not. I live in the Jackson area and no way I'm getting home at 2 AM so I am a bad fan. Maybe not so in Memphis but there are just about as many state fans in the Tupelo and Jackson area as OM. Do a little homework. State had 46K, Mizzou did not sell out, TN squarely in Knoxville did not sell out, etc. It was a bad weekend for attendance.
Like it or not our enrollment for while has been over 50% OOS. Some of those student graduate some not but the majority go right back where they came from and a bunch never come back for any reason. It is what it is and not advantageous for OM in the long-term.
