Not bad at all, but the stadium looked pretty empty against LSU, not that I blame anyone.

Can we get that chart compared to seating capacity?


That average is about the same as our seating capacity in Sanford stadium.

Really not that bad considering how bad our season was in relation to the fans expectations.


High fan expectations actually help your attendance numbers since everybody buys season tickets before they realize the team is shite. Those season tickets count towards attendance in every game, regardless of whether or not they actually show up.

We didn't have average 100k. I know that. I would guess 95-98k on avg.

Tip of the cap to A&M for a good showing of fans for their games!

Yeah, the stadium sure was empty for the LSU game:



We have indoor club areas for our SEZ chairbacks. A lot of people went inside because it got pretty effing cold, but there was a good crowd at the game.

A&M has 14 consecutive sellouts so it started prior to SEC. We only had six home games this year.

Yes they add folding chairs on the track but no way there are 5,000 chairs added. More like 500 to 1,000 chairs. I would love to know where the other 5,000 people sit/stand.

That's awesome considering LSU only seats 92,542

and we had Towson as a home game on a rainy dreary day, which felt like maybe 70,000 in the stands.

Looks like A&M's expansion couldn't have come soon enough.

2 years in a row of averaging over 5000 over capacity.

And there were actually 91,000 people at each game...20,000 of them were cleverly disguised as empty chairs..but they were there.

Flat out terrible, embarassing, this program is in dire need of a game changing head coach.
