Does the fact that a lot of people are still dealing with the aftermath of Ida not affect attendance?

In reality it's a little bit of everything. Smaller, non conference opponent, Covid protocols, people not wanting to deal with the logistical headaches for a smaller opponent, the previous games and performance, Ida, the comfort of home. If you go back and look at past games of this type, the stadium was rarely filled to capacity and it empties out when the Tigers had a big lead. But people like to key in on the one aspect that supports their rant and use that to explain the whole issue so they can talk about how big that problem is. In reality it's always a bunch of contributing factors. Still, you would like to see a capacity crowd every game. Keep winning and there's a better chance that the other objections will be overcome and the seats will get filled.
