AUght2win 6,899 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Two weeks until we kick against Arkansas at 11 AM. Let’s all take a stab on what the attendance numbers will be. My guess: 70,841 That’ll be the reported number. I think actually there will only be like 65k in the stands. Will probably be the lowest attended SEC game since the upper decks were built.

passthebiscuits 6,889 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Nah. I’ve been shocked about how supportive the fanbase is and has been. I think it’s higher. Now if we are judging the apathy of the fans…we are at new lows. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autiger88 3,777 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I know this might sound crazy but 50,000 or less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abw0004 10,134 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I will be there but I wonder if I start to hear boos like I did at the end of Malzahn's tenure here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeTiger 5,270 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Eh, I think our fanbase is a little better than that. I think its at least 75,000 in the stands. Still an SEC game and while not playing good, we should still be competitive with a team like Arky and probably should even win this game. People with families and kids will probably take advantage of the reduced ticket prices. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be surprised if people come to town and show up early for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PTB are disrespecting the fans (and players) by not even attempting to go in a different direction this season with an interim. The PTB should reap what they sow. They shouldn’t be rewarded with a full stadium after completely giving up on the season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucom96 1,645 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 There will be empty patches in the stadium and I expect it will be much easier to pick up a cheap (or free) ticket walking around on gameday, but I still expect 70-ish for most SEC games. WKU may be different, but some people just want to take their kids to a game, hang out in Auburn and not break the bank doing it. Usually that can only happen with the throw-away games, but some could get decent SEC matchups this year...especially since we might actually have a shot at Arkansas and A&M. I wonder what the lowest reported attendance was in 2012? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoffeeTiger 5,270 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) I'm going to trust the "sources" that Harsin is pretty much guaranteed to be gone after the season. I don't think we need to boycott the games to get Harsin fired. Plus, more people in the stands makes the program look better, looks better to potential recruits who would be recruiting to the school and not just a coach, and helps the kids who are still on the field fighting.

woodford 3,681 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Had the Ole Miss loss been 41-10 then yeah maybe an empty deck. I'm extremely anti CBH and have been negative Nancy all year but Arkansas' defense is worse than OM's. If we scored 34 on the road, we should be able to match that especially coming off a bye. However, I don't know if our defense can slow down KJ. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t have to boycott. It’s already done. But why, in this economy with inflation being what it is and gas being what it is, SHOULD fans put the time and effort into going to a game? They shouldn’t. I wish the players the best but I’m not spending money to reward the PTB for letting this miserable floundering continue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taker 494 Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I think that If you want to go to the game and can afford it then Go, if you don't want to go to the game then stay home and watch it on tv or mow the lawn or write a strongly worded letter to Yella fella expressing your displeasure in their performance thus far. I for one will be there because my 7 year old daughter loves the war eagles and I wouldn't dare think of depriving her of that joy(she doesn't know if we win or lose she just loves "her" team) and I will also be there just cause I like auburn and don't get to go to many games. Regardless of what I think of Harsin and co I still love AU and my crew will account for 3 of the 77,186 people there War Eagle, Love God, your family, and Auburn cause I believe in Auburn and love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
