People keep saying it was empty.. I’m here to tell you, it wasn’t. I stayed until the alma mater and it was packed. People were slow getting back from half due to concessions taking a little longer or getting a break from the sun for a minute.

The sideline seats looked to be 65-70% full on TV in the 2nd half. Looked pretty bad to be the SEC opener, good weather for September, & home underdog. Add to that the 5pm kickoff which means you shouldnt be terribly late getting home.

Folks must have been tired from all of that exhausting tailgating.

Our fans obsess over this stuff. I went and thought it looked fine. Upper East obviously had the most empty seats (no shock there). I didn't see many State fans at all in there and only saw a few in the South End Zone. The crowd was great in the 2nd half. We shouldn't be shocked by people leaving early at this point as LSU fans and should be even less shocked following the Southern game traffic disaster. The stadium is too big for the demand now with the costs/traffic and every game being on TV. It has been this way for some time. The stadium only gets full or near full for Bama, highly ranked teams and unique occasions like last week.
