Where is a link to this information?

NCAA.com


It pisses you off doesn't it? A school that plays in 30 degree weather half the season has the same number of fans show up as LSU.

Funny.

You can go on. It will still show LSU ahead of Arkansas in attendance every season since the mid 90's except for 2007. (Our worst season in 25 years) And we still had better attendance than Arkansas in 2006. (Our second worst season in 25 years)

You have also averaged 5 to 10 more home games.

Are all LSU fans this naive? Total means almost nothing!!!!!

Arkansas, again, plays in weather LSU never faces yet still puts just as many asses in the seats.

shite, why don't you just schedule 50 home games then you can brag about that total?!?

There is nothing special about LSU attendance when compared to Arkansas. Just more home games. That's all you are really bragging about. You play more home games! Congrats.

That doesn't matter when we're talking about average home attendance.

The weather argument is legit

March Avg Temps

Baton Rouge: 71

Fayetteville: 59

There's a big difference in early season weather and it definitely has an impact on attendance.

(As evidenced by Arkansas' higher average attendance later in the season)

Whether its 48 or 60 degrees out can mean the difference between freezing your butt off, or putting on a sweatshirt and a windbreaker and enjoying a game.

Both teams have fantastic attendance but if our weather was better, its easy to assume we'd have more home games, and we'd have higher average attendance than we do.

That said, in July we'll be in the mid 80s while y'all are 100 and 90% humidity.

Oh. Well I haven't been doing that.

I don't really care about total attendance. I just care that LSU has been #1 in average attendance something like 19/20 years.

yall make it sound like arkansas plays in the arctic tundra

Fair enough.

My point to that douche whistle that was bragging about total, when you play 10 more home games, is ridiculous.

My "boast" was that we only fall a few hundred behind the national leader every year despite the amazing contrast in temps.

We typically fall within a few hundred average. Point being, all along, when the freezing weather half the season is factored in there isn't anything special about LSU's support. Arkansas has shite weather where your balls shoot up in your pelvis yet still puts just as many asses in the seats

---

Ok sweetheart we understand its cold...you still have no response to the fact that BR gets Temps in the 90s for part of the season...again, people in fayettville are just as acclimated to the cold as people in BR are to the heat. It doesnt matter anyway, LSU is far and above a more dominant program than AK has ever been or probably ever will be.

man yall are just some bad mofos

It's silly to brag about total when you play 5 to 10 more home games. It defies logic. So when you look at averages you see they are within a few hundred of each other. I believe the winter weather being a factor, this says more about Arkansas fan support. That's my point.
