involving an SEC school since I don't know when. Probably since I've been alive.
I'm thinking 15,000 at the max.

The Tennessee Tech game might be the lowest attended home game...
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
It’s going to be the players’ parents and that’s about it.
Fire Lebby. Announce KT has signed for next year. Get the fanbase some hope. None of these things will happen however.

We are going simply because we've planned a weekend with friends in Vegas.
Wait until next year if Lebby's not fired
We were coming until we lost Saturday. My 12 year old is now fully experiencing the State fandom. He had a good first 8 or so years. He said as we exited Saturday "I'll see Davis Wade in 2027".
The sicko in me wishes someone would FOIA actual attendance numbers.
The low water marks I remember are that UAB card stunt game in 2004 where it rained all night the night before, and the 2001 Troy State game.
I'm only going because we had planned to go to this game before the season because my oldest daughter graduated from State in May and my middle daughter currently attends Auburn. The Auburn student daughter is bringing her boyfriend and is looking forward to it. The only reason I am attending this game is to not disappoint my children.
The way Lebby has distanced himself from the alumni from the fan base I don't really have a problem with that low attendance. It goes much deeper than X's and O's and W/Ls.
I will be there. First game I have been able to go to in years.
Im excited to see Starkville and State.
the football team, not so much
If I were you I would go sit wherever I want. Go to the shade and chairbacks and sit down. There will be plenty of options to move to if you happen to be in someone's seat. I'm not trying to be funny. Just go have fun and be comfortable.
We can't go this weekend, but will be there for Tenn Tech - mainly just because the weather will prob be beautiful, we'll be able to eat anywhere we want in the Cotton District, and we'll prob be able to pull right up to the stadium, throw it in park and get out - none of the hassle of a big crowd!
The worst crowd at DWS (nee Scott Field) I've ever seen: I think it was my freshman year ('90) we played somebody equally bad - maybe it was Kentucky - and the game was late enough in the season to where we had a bad cold snap ... this being before TV, we had a random kickoff time like 1:30 or 4:00 or something, and it was cloudy and super cold. I just remember that the people there sort of huddled up in the middle of the lower bowl, and there was practically nobody sitting outside either 35 or 40 yard line. Like not a single person. Only the home side had an upper deck back then, and I don't even think there were any people sitting on the 50 up there. I'd peg it at maybe 10k.

I seem to remember the Troy State game was pretty well attended, but people left after the tornado warning and the gulley washer. We lost that game in the second half, somehow.
You might be confusing it with the 2002 game attendance, tornado warning notwithstanding.....everybody remembers the tornado warning, but it was POURING down rain for two hours prior to the game....that was my last season in the student section and there was nobody there with us in the rain.
Brilliant, let Lebby do it for you. **
Good question, and rules for big events like football games may be different, but normally, if you book through the hotel itself or the chain office, you can cancel within a given time without consequences. If you book through one of the discount sites, you might be stuck with a big bill, and may have already paid for it months ago.
I recall E Tenn State game, 2022, being very poorly attended. Certainly less than 20k actual.

It's that Troy game for me. It was bad before the Tornado Warning, but man, after the game resumed there was NOBODY there except you and me, and Dontae Walker and his cellphone.
I was in the club level disobeying orders to leave and drinking whiskey from our locker.
