re: Still a lot of season tix available

Just started following college football?

This has been going on for a long time. LSU has survived much better than others.


College Football’s Growing Problem: Empty Seats - Announced attendance dropped 3.2% in football’s top division last season, but schools’ ticket scans show even fewer fans in stands


NOT LSU:

Only 25,493 ticketed fans were counted at the gates, 36% lower than the announced attendance and about half of the stadium’s capacity. More than 14,000 people who bought tickets or got them free didn’t show up.

College football has an attendance problem. Average announced attendance in football’s top division dropped for the fourth consecutive year last year, declining 7.6% in four years. But schools’ internal records show that the sport’s attendance woes go far beyond that.
