They'll get that easily. They've been getting that for SEC games, esp on weekends, the last couple of years. And getting 12-14K for "big games". The question is getting back to 10-15 regularly and 15-18 for "big games".
TV availability has alot to do with it. That's why making it harder to park, etc is so dumb. Even as a season ticket holder, if it's a cold, rainy Tuesday night in February and I have to pay 20$ to park and walk, unless it's a really good opponent I'm likely to sit it out at home. I always try to give my tickets away though.
Probably my fave TBA game ever, and def the peak of LV attendance. And the game paid off, something like 92-88 LVs and that was AFTER Catch went down with the season ending injury. They truly don't make em like that anymore.
