...in the country.

If we pull in 50,000 fans today, that would rank us about 42nd or 43rd in attendance out of 125 schools. Below is attendance of power five teams.

I think everybody freaking out about this attendance issue needs to realize how unique it is to bring in 100,000 fans on a weekly basis.

Best part...the attendance will count against USCs average, not LSUs.

This is a South Carolina home game. Has no impact on LSUs attendance figures

Wasn't implying it did. Just pointing out to the superfans that 50k fans for a football game is better than most think.

According to JA in today's Advocate, LSU did not sale 37K season ticket holders tickets. Leaving one to wonder just how many fat cats or corporations bought none. Again, Joe Six Pack gets the blame for not being a true fan. JA reaps what he sows, just like what happens to non descript bowl games in which he begs "fans" to buy tickets.
