If Moo State can crack the top 25 and we get a nationally televised night game, it could happen.

false. I'm sure Georgia '03, Florida '07, Auburn '07, and Bama '12 would all disagree, just throwing out a few...

Why would you say false if you don't know what you're talking about?

Info wasn't in the link, but that would be the only game we've ever had 90k actual if it made it.

It was a day game so it wouldn't have been 90K. If the 2008 Alabama day game wasn't then 2003 Georgia wasn't.

That's the only one that has a chance from the rest of 2012 and 2013. But since it's never happened before then chances are it didn't then. Especially if 07 Va Tech and Florida, 09 Florida, etc. didn't.

The two largest actual crowds occurred at games in 2007 - Florida (89,800) and Virginia Tech (89,200). LSU Assistant Athletic Director/Ticket Manager Brian Broussard indicated that the scanners miss no more than 1,000 tickets at any one game.


So if they missed 200 for the Florida game in 2007 then we have had over 90k. I know as a student my ticket had been not scanned properly on more than one occasion and they just let me go in. I bet it happens pretty commonly.

Ok, it has MAYBE happened 3 times in school history, and that still means approximately 3% of the fans didn't show up.

With the projected seating capacity and our historical trend for no shows, there is no chance we ever get 100k actual attendance.

2012 bama game was probably the most demanded ticket in tiger stadium history. If UF 2007 was that close, surely that game broke 90k.

It won't happen. We've never had 90k, actual attendance. This year with the added seating and tickets to sell, we may actually get over 90k fannies in the seats, but at no time will we actually approach 100k.

Depending on records and poll positions Ole Miss could be the game.
