If this is true, there has to be a way to find room for another 400 seats.

That's what I said initially too, but I seem to remember someone saying there was a reason they wanted it below 100k. I don't remember what the reason was, but they had one.

And Aggie had to feed that Texas size ego and top Alabama's 101,821.

What does an SEC weak-sister football program do with all those seats?

Don't tell me; let me guess--women's sports arena.

Aren't Tennessee's seats smaller than the normal seats in a college stadium? I had heard from people that this is the case.

Is LSU shoehorning in more people in the same amount of space? to get the official numbers up? Is there square inch threshold that you have to meet per seat?

If they are getting more people in the gate, its not to havea bigger number than team x or school y. Its to put more dollars in the bank.
