    Those numbers must be ticket sales and not actual butts in the seats. There were at least 3 games with less people than that in the stadium (ASU, OSU, Georgia Bulldogs), and zero sellouts.

    Yup.

    Because who actually cares how many people show up, we only care about how much money the school makes per home game.

    Id be curious to know how many other teams are expected to buy tickets without knowing the game time.

    It's the new meet up for the local transients. They were giving away a free ticket with the purchase of a coke. Imagine if they had the same deal for a six pack of Steel Reserve...........

    If they offered hookers and blow in The Zone, I might attend a first half sometime.

    This. I only went to 2 games this year. I just didnt feel the need to be in the stadium. My chair and tv worked just fine for the rest of them.

    I've only been to one -- the UCLA game (night game).

    With all of the blinking ads and shit everywhere it felt like I was at a Mariner's game (which I've only been to for work functions).

    It's awesome that the track is gone... but all that *bling* needs to go.

    This bullshit has ruined all stadiums. I just love it when I'm at Autzen for a mega game against Michigan State with huge NC implications in the balance with it being close at half, Sparty dominating most of the 3rd but Oregon still has a shot of clawing back in the fourth.......NOW WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTT A MINUTE!!!!!! Nope, we have to all dance around like a bunch of Kansas City faggots before the start of the most important part of something I just spent $400 a seat for. I just don't know how I survived without some three bar, wooo song all those years.

    Ummmmm, pretty sure they do.

    Or it could be one of the land yachts in the South Parking lot.

    Unclear, nose down.

    every organization in sports uses "tickets out" for attendance now because that number is always greater which helps with sponsorships/donors/media and other such benefits. Tickets out = sold, donated, built into corporate partnerships, in any way distributed.

    No one is actually counting true butts in seats as attendance anymore, even though with ticket scanners it's actually much faster and easier than ever before.

    Even if we sold out every game we would only move up three spots. What max capacity now, 72K?

    Watching at home is cheaper and the beer is colder.

    Yeah but still....


    Colder beer isn't necessarily better. Many beers are best served at room temperature or just above the fridge temp. In fact, many watered down American style beers are only served cold to help mask the less than desirable taste. Simple fact.

    Ahhh good times. Brings me back to the great >70k <70k capacity debate that raged on doogman during stadium construction.

    Can confirm.

    Cask conditioned beers served at room temperature actually increase the flavor profile of some beers.

    In the state of Alabama, they turn out damn near 200,000 per home game, between Auburn and Alabama. Add in those tied to the TV, and it sounds like most of the state shuts down on Saturday during the football season.

    I'm hearing that Alabama doesn't have a real pro team.

    Really? The coaches and players are paid like professionals.
