No doubt. The waiting list now is rediculous.
But something's up because we received emails two weeks ago asking if we wanted to purchase more tickets. It didn't say anything about upgrading, it just said there were seats available for purchase.

Ahh...I was thinking late eighties versus early eighties. I still was off though, since McNair played at Alcorn in the early nineties.

Thats not surprising. With the expansion, they are going to give existing season ticket holders an opportunity to add tickets if needed. If you accept, you'd most likely be moved into a new section.

I just looked at JSU website and they've claiming 65,000 watched them beat Southern in 99'. the fact they didn't give an exact number or the stadiums capsity doesn't seem viable, but you may be correct, just have the wrong swac team

I'm going with Ole Miss having the crowd record. The Alcorn - Jackson State number doesn't seem credible. Is there anything out there that would lead me to believe it was? Any documentation? Contemporaneous accounts? Anything?

Memorial Stadium has hosted several games, in addition to Jackson State. The Valley game had to be moved because of people coming to see Rice play.
I went to an Alabama-Ole Miss game at Memorial Stadium in 1989.

I'm going by what the Memphis Commercial Appeal stated in an article the day after the Alabama-Ole Miss game in Oxford.

I was seven. But I remember my dad being pissed off.

Beat it youngster. I was shitting my pants.
Since we were "only" playing Ole Miss, I was out with a girl doing some kind of fall festival...I passed a couple of radios and heard we were getting quickly blown out. I panicked since it was obviously my fault for not watching and we rushed home...by the time I got there we were leading...and we cruised on to a blowout win.
The football gods taught me a lesson that day...

Yeah we were already told to pick new seats this season because our seats will now be faculty.
They also have 10 seat skyboxes for sell. That shits a little out of my price range though

Nebraska is the only one that takes this cake. - No one travels better than Alabama.
You're correct about Nebraska. But, overall LSU travels better than anyone I can think of in the college game. If you doubt me, ask the folks in Omaha. And besides you can mess with LSU fans and they just mess with you back without gettin' all pissy and whiny like bama fans.

Well, to be honest, they get all pissy and whiny you just can't understand anything they say anyway so you don't realize it.

Georgia and Michigan currently are experiencing those kinds of reductions. Last year a minimum donation of $4,205 (down from $10,651 in '08) was needed to buy Georgia season tickets. This year, the minimum donation needed is expected to drop again, though officials in the Georgia ticket office are not yet certain how much.
How do they determine the donation amount?

When did this turn to baseball? When LSU takes 20,000 to a regular season game at UCLA, or 15,000 to Oklahoma I'll listen.

especially after you unfavorably compared it to what you considered longer streaks, like Florida's.
Why is that unfavorable? UF has had consecutive sellouts since 1979, the 3rd or 4th longest streak in the nation.

Another thing, Bryant Denny's sell-out streak was only TRACKED beginning in 1988, after the completion of an expansion that prevented any home games the previous year. It doesn't necessarily mean that games weren't sold out before the 1988 kickoff.
According to the Bama site, the sellout streak from 1988 was snapped in 2002 when you played North Texas.
quote:
SELLOUT STRING BROKEN Entering the 2002 season, Alabama had a streak of 56 consecutive sellouts at Bryant-Denny Stadium, since the stadium was expanded after the Nov. 15, 1986 game with Temple. That string was broken against North Texas when the Tide had a paid attendance of 79,818. A new streak began when 83,818 faithful Tide fans watched Alabama beat Southern Miss 20-7 here on Sept. 21st.

I remember when Alabama hosted Duke back in 2006. Paid attendance was 92,000, but several articles reported how the stadium was definitely not capacity. I'm willing to bet this wasn't the only game where actual attendance didn't match paid attendance (La Monroe, etc). And yes, I know we don't sell out all of our games at Auburn. Just sayin'
