Arky weekend attendance

[RougeSportsnerd]

Has anyone heard any more information about possibly increasing attendance for Arkansas weekend?

It needs to be as this whole charade our admin is doing is ridiculous. Some of us have even noticed we are reporting lower attendance than actual for some reason. Saturday they reported 3900 roughly! We had all estimated 5-6k during the game from observation from our outfield spot. I’m not sure the point of it. Ole miss is reporting 6-7k. We aren’t getting out drawn by 3k every game by them! Ha

Regardless all of this stupid nonsense needs to end with the wristbands and such in the outfield. Nobody out there is happy.

There were definitely a lot of people at the games this weekend. It was somewhat surprising.

Yeah they are definitely lying about attendance, all about optics currently.

It should be 100%. If you need/want the vaccine and can't get it before first pitch, don't go.

My crowd estimate Saturday was about 6K also. I am afraid that MSU Athletics likes having some control of the # of folks in the outfield & as a result could continue to somewhat limit outfield access.

When revenues from sports have to be way, way, behind for the last 12 months, why would the athletic department want to "continue to limit outfield access" at $5-$10 per fan?

 

[RocketDawg]

Well, in years past they skewed it the other way - they reported "attendance" as the number of sold tickets, including season ticket holders who were sitting at home. The correct attendance is turnstile count, and that's what should be reported.

Has there been any updates on this?

It’s political, and it’s not fabulous

They had over 10k at Swayze Saturday. And for once, they weren't inflating numbers. It was wall to wall packed. Surely we aren't dumb enough to continue with the optics bs. But nothing would shock me either way.
