Lies, damned lies, and statistics.
Tennessee seems to have the same economists as the Biden administration.

Tennessee football's ticket sales record isn't that impressive
quote:
Rocky Top had a goal of 10,000 new season-ticket sales. They nearly doubled that, with 16,781 new sales. The previous record since they have been tracking was back in 2015, when they had 7,502 new season-ticket sales. Sure, that’s a good sign for UT. It’s all relative, though, and a deeper dive shows it isn’t that impressive.
quote:
The main reason for the shattering of that record really comes down to how much room they had to jump. Issues related to the program’s downward slide at the end of Butch Jones’ tenure, COVID, the disaster Jermey Pruitt left the program in and the initially underwhelming hire of Heupel tanked season-ticket sales.
quote:
According to numbers provided by Grant Ramey of GoVols247, the Vols actually sold significantly more season tickets in 2015, over 67,000 to be exact.

They’ll be over 60k in season ticket sales by the start of the season. Dr. Danny has also gotten rid of the grandfathered tickets that required no donation for decent seats.
What is Florida’s season ticket count?

It's tough getting people to spend money to sit in a shithole stadium watching a steaming pile of shite on the field.

Does the swamp or Sanford even hold 60k?

That number increased to 73,116 the next year, but an underachieving season followed by the worst year in school history under Butch Jones began a slide through 2021.
quote:
Even if they are bringing people back, the focus has been about restoring the Vols anyway, and White’s “Rise Glorious” campaign, initially reported by Patrick Brown of GoVols247, sets a goal of 70,000 season tickets again by 2026.
Why would anyone need a "deeper dive" to recognize that the reason new ticket sales are able to be this high is because there were more season tickets up for grabs? This author is a doofus, though that goes without saying given his gainful employment involves blogging for FanSided.

Florida's season ticket count is nobody gives a frick, just like Tennessee's.

Not sure if you are speaking of Tennessee or Florida here, but probably interchangeable.
