Re: SWAC Championship attendance
When JSU shows up in Houston, then we can straighten those numbers again. I put the attendance out there to show how many showed up in B'ham and the possibility of Houston needing to do even better. That's all, simply put. It clearly shows that JSU had less fans to show up in Houston than in B'ham.

Re: SWAC Championship attendance
We truly await the increase.
2013 Jackson State 27 Southern 34 38,985 QB Dray Joseph & DB Anthony Balancier, Southern [34]
2014 Alcorn State 38 Southern 24 38,969 QB John Gibbs, Jr. [35]
The decrease in attendance in Houston was only (16) fans from 2013-2014. We have to do better.

Re: SWAC Championship attendance
NRG Stadium "pimped" me! I brought 15 of my Kappa Leaguers from San Antonio for the game. Young men in ages ranging from 12-17. I had promised their parents that the prices would be no more than $25 based on the availability online. We get to the ticket booth and I get told that there only 7 seats left in the section next to Southern's Band for $20 and 34 seats on Alcorn's side for $35. The ticket agent says that the next ticket agent might sell all of the tickets in Alcorn's section so I better get these $35 tickets now. Of course I had to explain to the guys of this change and their expressions changed quickly. The price changed only affected 1 of my Kappa Leaguers. Ok. We get to our seats and I notice that there were plenty of $20 seats open in that section on Southern's side. I was "heated" to say the least!!! Shame on that lady to take advantage of teenagers just to sell tickets at a higher cost

Re: SWAC Championship attendance
I think there was more at this game than the 2013 game. I know the lower bowl was fuller than last years with both endzones being utilized more. I need to go look at my pics from last year and compare them to this years pics.
This is a video I took at the end of the game. A lot of people still in the stands.

I think Houston would have hit 45K+ last year had it not been for the bad weather. I don't think some of you all realize how many people could not get to Houston... even from Dallas... Also, many flights were cancelled. UAPBs band could not even get to the Battle of the Bands.
Speaking of the Battle of the Bands. Frankie Beverly was a GREAT idea. Like 70% of the crowd stayed to see Frankie and everyone was in there having a great time partying!

I felt that there were more people this year as well. However, the endzones were less full this year.

Bham is a better place for JSU fans, no doubt but Houston is a better place for the game.. WITHOUT QUESTION! Last year in Houston it was 25 degrees and we drew 38K. If it was that could in Bham.......

Re: SWAC Championship attendance
I was not shocked. Mississippi is deep in Houston.
Also, Alcorn probably has the 3rd largest fan base in the SWAC behind JSU and Southern. They have just not had much reason to show up before!

Re: SWAC Championship attendance
yeah I agree frat. I was able to get by C-Leb's and the TxSU folks tailgate after the game in the parking lot. We had a KKPSI one before the game with the TxSU bruhs.

Frankie Beverly and Maze was an idea the SWAC used from the Magic City Classic.... watch they will have Bell Biv Devoe next year. Good to see ideas being shared between schools and conferences..... maybe they should have a Bayou Classic style battle of the bands the night before.

JROCK... we were a hurt qb away from kicking SU arse this year with 80% freshmen starting. We were up 3 touchdowns when our qb went out and you still won in the last 20 seconds of the game.

Re: SWAC Championship attendance
It will be interesting. Our team is very young too. Not many Srs started this year. Of course our Qb is a true Freshman and we expect he will have a better handle of things next Fall.

There was not ONE SWAC team that had a clue on defense this year. If it stays that way, you all might be ok.
