why? Valid question on how numbers are computed when one party presented visual evidence and the other has yet to provide any but yet boast the highest attended SWAC game on a MONDAY night 2 days after one school meets its annual benchmark
I pulled out capacity facts and it went Zero Dark Thirty in this piece.
Can you really even use capacity facts when there are schools that have bleachers pushed in due to the way the arena is made. SU and Bama State (off the top of my head) have a lot of seats in the lower corners pushed in that cant be used.
There is not a school in tne SWAC that does not count "tickets sold" as opposed to "actual seats occupied." This is standard practice across the sporting industry, and especially the NCAA. One would be crazy to count attendance otherwise. SU made the right move when it tied bsketball and baseball to football for the football season ticket-holder. It has increased attendance for those venues exponentially.
No argument there. This is the first time that I can remember sTu did not do this. All I am pointing out (and accurately I might add) is there was not 7400+ in attendance at that game as some tried to convince me that my eyes were lying.
It’s an option to purchase those tickets, it’s not mandatory .
How much are yours?
What does that have to do with what we saw on TV?
lowest is 250 for general admission season tickets…. 350 for reserved season tickets and 500 for floor seats.
Shyt lol
Mardi Gras and HS basketball, you say?
Yes, you have to understand Southern Louisiana culture. Half of BR was literally in Clinton, La at that parade lol. Then both tournaments were less than a mile from SU and had teams from all over BR and surrounding areas. We still had a huge crowd but it would have been more.
SU has different configurations for different events. Basketball seating is 7,500. Graduation and other events have a higher capacity because all the seating can be used.
Basketball ? Damn. I’m not sure how much basketball season tickets cost alone, but Baseball alone cost $90. You can purchase baseball and basketball together for $100 if you purchase them with your season football tickets.
You may very well be the winner!
Thats a good deal… especially with SU being a big baseball school. Our baseball games are free but Im sure that will change soon. The AD said we are getting turf for baseball and softball fields, adding lights and a building for locker rooms, weight rooms, etc .
Now you get fed REAL meals at halftime of men and womens games.
In terms of actual attendance (seats in the seats) for the JSU game, I would estimate there were fewer than 5600. The official listed attendance of 7489 would include all tickets sold for that event. I just happen to know the lady in charge of athletic ticketing at SU. She would never post any fraudulent numbers that either would embarass the university or undermine her own respect and competency.
They should wear tuxedos to serve.
