What was the official Attendance

[emzeeee]

Our alma mater would rather have empty seats with high price tags on their tickets than UT students in those seats. So Tennessee students can't even go to their own football games anymore.

Tickets being free wouldn't have filled the student section.

It wasn't just students missing last night.

UT students dont fill up what they have now.
Giving them more tickets would be very stupid.

He didn't ask for more tickets. It looks like he was asking for free tickets for students.

I remember thinking when the Oilers moved to Tennessee that it would impact our fan base throughout the state.

Even if we only had 83,000 in the seats, it would still be a larger crowd than has ever attended a game at Oklahoma, Notre Dame, FSU, Wisconsin, Clemson, South Carolina, Arkansas, any NFL team, etc.

Not too shabby.

Wrong.

I was there. There were a lot of empty seats, but we still had a great time. Only paid $12 each for tix on the street. It was my first game since maybe '04 or '05, so it was really awesome just to be on campus/the strip again.

At kickoff there was about 80,000 then after halftime there was about half that lulz.

What I don't get is that they continue to announce the attendance based on tickets sold, but they've got the barcode setup. That should give them the exact attendance. Then again maybe the tickets sold is the only thing they want to share with the world?

We had tickets to section OO. I think it was gate 12 that we entered in and there were no scanners.

one advantage of smaller crowds: it's a lot easier to sneak in some jack to these games--they don't have as much security checking things.
