Football attendance

[Hankp22]

Right now we are at 25 percent for our first home game. Do yall think we will see a bump for an additional 10,000 or so tickets sold following game 2 or so if things go well? Watching the GT/UCF game on tv, I'd certainly feel safe going into DWS with a crowd of 25,000.

Just curious as I haven't seen much speculation. I'd assume that starts with the governor and then it would be the call of each school?

I'm just excited to have football back and a sport driven conversational topic.

They should be reassessing stadium capacity 2-3 weeks after opening day

Based on the numbers we're seeing now I wouldn't at all mind being in a stadium at 33% capacity. But, we'll see where we're at in the middle of October.

I suspect they will end up selling mini packages with three games for the upper deck.

That's what I am hoping too. I assume games 1 and 2 will be a trial run. But with the athletic dept set to lose 75 percent of their ticket sales, getting some of those points back will help big time. I'd also not complain about a reasonable increase in ticket cost to continue to somewhat offset the loss.

Can you imagine if the sec had folded with the B10. This fall would be miserable. I salute Sankey and the athletic depts. The USC Trojan football team can't even go in a weight room to work out.

First let's see if State even sells 15k tickets for Arkansas.

can I imagine? Sure. State has $115M in revenue for a few years. Even losing the $30M this year, State will make $50M more than USM. USM still trots a team out there. State will be aight.

Bump

With the mask news, any chance we see an increase to 50% for game 2?

 

[Mayor of Little London]

Is there a local ordinance that could affect this?

The city of Mississippi State University, MS is not under the jurisdiction of the city of Starkville, MS.

But it is in the County which has in the past required mask and curfews

They better not screw Bulldog Club members by selling more tickets without re-re-assigning us back to where we were originally seated.

We were originally in section 3 and are now in Section 312 upper deck because of the social distance reseating required. That would be a real ******** way to treat longtime BC ticket holders.

There isn’t a blanket dismissal of masks. Per Tate “A few relaxed restrictions include increasing attendance at outdoor k-12 extracurricular events such as football games to 50% of seating capacity, limiting group gatherings when your unable to social distance to no more then 20 indoors and 100 outdoors and requiring masks for schools and close
contact business like salons and barbershops. This order is effect until November 11 at 5pm.”

Boo Hoo...

Boo Hoo...

His request is completely reasonable.

 

[Xenomorph]

It’s a completely valid point and a looming nightmare for the AD.

That’s why Cohen makes the big $.... I doubt the capacity gets changed...

Those with current tickets under the 25% rule should have priority over those that would purchase if the allotment was increased to 50%. It would be a bit of headache logistically. But that's something that would need to be solved. It is worth taking on the headache for the ability to distribute an additional 12,500 or so tickets.

That should be a no brainier.

 

[GhostOfJackie]

Well I mean, they are doing their best. I’m a usual lower west side guy with upper deck seats this year. We will be alright
