All of these explanations are fine and dandy but none of them answer the question of how can you sell more tickets than your stadium holds with SRO AND how can you count that as attendance?

Also, I posted this yesterday but I've seen the attendance greater than 10000 in the box score before the last 2 nights

I'm all for LSU leading the nation in attendance but come on phantom tickets? If these guys want to donate to the athletic department or even the school itself with $200 million in cuts coming that's fine but we don't need to be selling phantom tickets to increase attendance numbers, if they wanted to sell 11,535 they should have made the stadium bigger.

NOTE: consider this when expanding Tiger Stadium to 99,500

The box score shows paid attendance, not actual. And yes, it has been higher in the last. The largest paid crowd was in 2012 against Alabama, i think it was over 12,000.

But having nearly 11,000 people there, that was awesome
