What do you folks think average home attendance will look like for your team this year?
The new capacity for Vaught Hemingway is listed at 64,038. I imagine there aren't many standing room only spots left in Vaught Hemingway. Georgia Southern is the only game I think we won't sell out.
63,900 is my guess. Could be higher if we can stuff a bunch of SRO in for SEC games.
I imagine that'll be good for 9th in the SEC Behind Arkansas and ahead of Mizzou, State, Kentucky, and Vandy

A&M > 100K and likely lead the SEC again.

Probably right at 80k

ATM, Bama,LSU, and UT all over 100k capacity?

Who knows on Bama. They don't count attendance, just ticket sales. Most of the games are already sold out I think. They released some $35 ones for a few games a couple of weeks ago so there may be some available for Kent St, Chattanooga, and maybe Western Ky. Those games for sure won't be at capacity, and the Kentucky game might not be. A&M, Miss St, and Auburn will be at capacity.

That's what everyone does.

Alabama's non-conference games always have a ton of empty seats.
I mean, even if you get to 80K fans, which is a lot, that's still 20% of the stadium empty.
That's only downside of having a gigantic arse stadium, you only really fill it up for the high demand games.
It's also expected to be 95 degrees this Saturday, so the stadium is likely to be damn near empty by the mid-3rd quarter when hopefully all the subs are playing.

I will be curious about LSU home opener. Everyone I know is trying to give their tix away...
