yeah, and A LOT of these will wind up on stubhub. I don't see Oregon having more than 15,000 in there TOTAL.

75/25 is probably a bit low

JP is spot on. I'm in section 134. I know a lot of LSU fans are on the "Oregon side" of the field. Should be fun. All of the SEC fans I've met down there have been awesome. TRUE southern hospitality. MSU fans (had a home and home with us) and they said what they can't offer in state beauty compared to Oregon they can sure offer in hospitality. I found that very true. We were in Louisiana three days while we went to MSU and were treated wonderfully by both LSU and MSU fan bases. Went to Knoxville last year too. Treated awesome there as well of course we won by more than 5 touchdowns so no one was saying much at 1230am.

Oregon only sold about 15,000 tickets, so about 85% LSU to 15% Oregon


Some of us are buying tickets on stubhub as well. I would expect around 15k.

According to the Alumni Association, LSU sold it's entire allotment of 37,000 tickets and Oregon sold it's entire allotment of 25,000 tickets, so I'm guessing the split will be around 30K Oregon fans compared to 40-45K LSU.

Naw...Oregon only got 15k


LSU got 37k in total (25k original plus 12k additional), but had requests for over 50k


Oregon will bring in the 15-20k range IMO, and basically the rest of the stadium will be LSU with the exception of the randoms/Cowboy season ticket holders.

LSU - >60K
Oregon - 15K
Random - <10K

That stadium reminds me of the old sombrero in Tampa.

Even if some UO fans bought tickets from brokers, I doubt there will be more than 20,000 Duck fans in the building.

There weren't 35K Duck fans in Tempe for the BCSCG last year. Why would more than that make the longer trip down to Dallas?


I'm thinking the same thing.

A mixture of grey, white, yellow, green and Orange? Dammit man, how are yall going to coordinate that? To the naked eye it looks like everyone just wore what ever they wanted. Ducks are crafty.

The cost is a little cheaper to fly into Dallas and lodging. Plus BCSNG tickets were 5k towards the end. This game is still way afordable. I know about a dozen people who decided back in december to do LSU instead of the BCSNG due to cost alone.

Well if you look a little closer "most" fans are wearing yellow. On the opposite corner in a couple sections you can see a shade of dark blue.

Those are Michigan fans.

Dallas is wonderful this time of year. I bet they are dying to get out of that crappy 75 degree weather for a little while.
