what would the break down of the crowd be? Auburn fans are getting cocky with the smack talk of a 80/20 crowd in Atlanta. It has more to do with geography than fan support. In ST louis its probably 80/20 Missouri fans.

It wouldn't be 80/20 at either location.

Probably just barely in MUs favor. They don't travel well. Never saw any of them in CS like NU or the OK schools back in B12 days. They always get passed over for bowls because bowls don't believe they'll fill the stadium.

The Georgia Dome, 90% of the time, is slightly under "home-game" level for us.

And then the opposing team's athletic department was dumb enough to put tickets online?

I don't care why, but we'll be playing in Jordan-Hare East on Saturday.

It's not cocky...the fact is that we bought all the tickets.

If it were in Nashville it would be evenly split.

Oregon was closer to Glendale than Auburn was in Jan 2011.

My point is there should be no smack about having the home field crowd since atlanta is a suburb of Auburn or the other way around. Geography is what it is. LSU, Arkansas, Texas A&M and Missouri and at a disadvantage with the SEC title game in Atlanta for the driving fan compared to Alabama, Auburn, UT, UGA, UF, Scar. Don't worry about it Ole Miss, Miss State and Vandy.

I expect we'd sell out all our tickets to season ticket holders and students and at minimum fill our section. As for the corporate split, would most likely favor mizzu.

Disagree. Aubie fans would go to the SECCG if it were in Seattle.

Yeah, I bet if the game was in Columbia, MO it'd be like 80/20 Missouri!

St. Louis Mizzou fans would be too busy watching Cardinal reruns to go to the game.
