With how we played up until today, 11am kickoff, backs against the wall, and the fire under O’s arse, I was impressed. Respect for everyone that was out there today. Team was feeding off of it for sure.

The lower bowl was packed, if not completely full. The upper decks were pretty empty, but overall, really good attendance for an 11 AM game.

Uppers looked rough, but the NEZ and SEZ both looked packed.

Some strategic camera work was needed but it looked great on TV. Sean McD did note the empty seats at one point, but I was overall proud of the turnout from those in the lower bowl.

It’s almost like the vaccine and testing rules actually had an impact on attendance, no?

It looked very embarrassing up until just before kickoff. Thought lower bowl was going be empty for a while. Guess the baws needed to chug them last few beers

That's true, I was in section 419 by 10:30. The lower bowl still looked pretty empty at that point, but filled in nicely.

Crowd came in just before kickoff… heck it took that long to get the Bloody Mary and Irish coffees going…

students were in force……”entertaining” and there till the end…

Not bad for an 11 game…. The crowd stepped up for a team with effort….

Geaux tigers…

I got to my seat after Florida scored first (son had XC this morning) but the crowd was legit today. Nobody left and we tried to be loud as frick for the Tiger players who deserve to see what Tiger Stadium can be like.
You could feel the extra effort from the smaller crowd.

On TV it looked like the lower bowl was pretty full but the nose bleeds were pretty empty?

That's exactly what it was like in the stadium. Lower bowl was full and the fans in their seats did work.

But the suites and stadium club were full as well. That's was not the case early in the season.

Yeah also that our fan base is full of stubborn retards who refuse to take a test.

Actual attendance was 96,012. Not too bad considering the apathy within the fan base and the number of tickets on the market this past week.

Actual attendance was nowhere near 96k. Both uppers were mostly empty. Do the math.

Those are the numbers ESPN gave out. I’m not here to do guestimation math.

that's because we had a cool front which made it suddenly pleasant to be outside... if it's played earlier in the week attendance sucks
