    .........the last three years. LSU has finished in the top 10 in attendance nationally the last 37 years. For our BAMA friends who think our games don't draw.
     
  2. I'll bite - is that actual attendance (butts in seats) or ticket sales...? Big difference I am sure.

    Actual attendance I believe. Someone correct me if I am wrong. The info came from the depth chart link from a thread yesterday.

    I saw a list somewhere on the web the other day. I think it went like this:

    1. Michigan
    2. Tennessee
    3. Ohio State
    4. Penn State
    5. LSU
    6. Georgia
    7. Auburn
    8. Alabama
    9. Florida

    can't remember beyond that

    The list of top 10 schols in football attendence straight from LSUSPORTS.NET

    2002 Attendance Figures...

    Games Attendence Average Per Game
    1. Michigan 7 774,033 110,576
    2. Penn State 8 857,911 107,239
    3. Tennessee 7 746,936 106,705
    4. Ohio State 8 827,904 103,488
    5. LSU 7 632,147 90,307
    6. Georgia 7 605,640 86,520
    7. Florida 7 596,296 85,185

    9. Alabama 7 579,999 82,857

    Notice that 7 of the 10 teams are from the SEC and the other 3 from the Big 10. Penn State and Ohio State led the nation in total attendence but they had 8 home games.

    And the best part about that is how quiet the games at Michigan and PSU are....
     
  7. Hey Southlink, do you have any good Ga boards that you recommend?

    Nope. It's so sad but UGA really has no good boards.

    The Dawgvent (UGASports.com) is so incredible popular by UGA fans but no one talks sports...just regular stuff and the hits are multiple by the second. It sucks...

    Such a big school...not 1 really good board with a good format.
     
  9. that sucks, i'll try dawgvent i guess. i like to keep up with the dawgs from time to time.

    ??? Most of the Bama fans I run across know LSU packs Tiger Stadium for a game. I have personally been to too many to think otherwise. At least LSU enlarges their stadium the right way. At Tennessee they just scoot the seat numbers another inch closer together :D
