Nice attendance at the Hump tonight

What time do we play?

I thought there was… in the upperdeck.

It was a game that was moved to 4pm on a Wednesday on less than 24 hours notice and no students there. Of course the crowd was sparse. There was also no pep band and a skeleton crew cheerleading squad. I’m sure we will have a pretty good crowd for our next home game against Georgia (as long as we beat Ole Miss on the road the game before).

You guys complaining about attendance and lower level seating should pony up and show up. Lil LT ain't changing anything.

Did y’all see the crowd at Auburn? Damn they have a great atmosphere.

I, for one, was happy to see this game on TV despite the time switch. I happened to be off of work and undisturbed at home to fully enjoy the game.

Christmas break games at the Hump seem to have always been sparsely attended since my first games in 1980. I always found a way to enjoy those games because the fans in attendance we're quite loyal and knowledgable. Great memories

Auburn dedicates its lower level courtside seating 3/4 around the court for students except for first 2 rows. SEC rules don’t allow student seating behind opponents bench. Only the biggest donors get rows 1-2 and they run about $4.5k per season ticket not including donations. The majority of season ticket holders sit in upper 2/3 of arena. Auburn season tickets are sold out and have a waiting list.

And what if we don't? Is the season just over? Ole Miss fans claim that State is obsessed because it's kind of true

 

[FlotownDawg]

I didn’t say that. But a loss to Ole Miss would severely hurt attendance for the Georgia game. I don’t think that’s a controversial statement.

 

[THE Bruce Dickinson]

I know it will, and my comment was kind of rhetorical. However, this is a huge problem with our entire fanbase when it comes to basketball. If we lose a game that we deem below us, the fanbase just quits, and losing to Ole Miss just gives people an excuse of why they didn't attend a game that they never were going to attend in the first place.
