re: How many LSU fans expected in T-Town this weekend?

Tennessee always brings a huge number of fans to Tuscaloosa, and Alabama does the same to Knoxville. Its part of the fun of that rivalry. A lot of people go who don't have tickets, and there are visiting fans scattered all over the stadium. The only visiting team who routinely has more representation in Tuscaloosa than UT is Auburn, for obvious reasons. Of course most of them are only there for the day so hotels and restaurants and what not don't get the big payday. To answer the original question though, I believe LSU gets 10,000 visitor seats and I'm sure those will be filled, but I wouldn't expect many more than that in the stadium. I'd imagine there'd be a good amount of people without tickets in town though.
