That is another issue with this type of study. Auburn has no assigned seats, and they oversell like crazy. It is a pain in the arse for the SEC games especially. So, even when the report for the student section is at 100% capacity, it is more like 110%, however that is impossible to show up on any research.


Well...that's not true.

I was at the Auburn Ole Miss game this year on the Plains and the stadium was at, maybe 85% capacity.

He's talking about the student section, not the whole stadium. It is 100% true we oversell the student section and it gets way too packed for big games.

I don't feel like reading though this thread, but as a current student who goes to basically all the home games, the #1 reason for less student attendance is no alcohol in the stadium. Almost everyone I know that leaves early leaves when the alcohol they sneaked in runs out
