On Hunt & Hill, Hunt mentioned that FSU partnered with a ticket broker, sold what they could, and the remaining were purchased by the broker. Leads to believe that around 10k FSU fans purchased tickets directly through the university.

I can't find any articles confirming this, but I would be shocked if 30k FSU fans didn't show up being that they're a national brand and the school is a six hour drive from NOLA.

Times are tough, gas is expensive, Nola has a bad reputation and watching at home is really really nice.

Neutral site games are trash. This series should be played on each campus. Hopefully poor crowds will get games back in actual college stadiums.

As I stated several days ago, I expect the dome to be 2/3 Tiger fans.

Agreed. College football is special and home games are a big part of that.

Did you miss where a broker bought 20,000 Florida State tickets?

agreed, I would almost prefer this game to be at doak camble, college games are just more fun on college campuses.

They had 28,000 under capacity at their game Saturday. There was no way they bought 30,000 tickets for a road game.

You can call this neutral, if you want. But it is essentially a home game for us.

No chance FSU has 30k. I know several LSU people that bought tickets off their website because they were cheaper. I’d say 20k is probably more accurate.

Exactly. I hate seeing these tax dollars going to Teedy.

LSU and FSU would still make more with home games.

But we lose a home game. 100k tickets at $50 is $5mil. FSU game would sell for ~$100/ticket probably $125, then we get concession sales etc...
