To be specific: Vaught-Hemingway Stadium official capacity is 64,038. Previous home game vs. Auburn in 2016 official attendance was 65,927 (third-highest on record). Yesterday’s was 56,885. Hotty Toddy! Fins Up!!

So what are you saying? More people showed up than tickets sold? More people admitted into stadium than had tickets? You apparently aren’t very bright, i.e., you must be a Humanities or Education major. It remains, based on tickets sold, that Saturday’s game was 88.9% of stadium capacity, a mere 86% of the 2016 Auburn game. No spin, just the facts.

This is just more bjork, Vitter propaganda.
They may have sold 58k tickets
There is no way there was 58k in the stadium.
This follows a season where there was a 16% reduction in season ticket renewals and associated donations.
Bjork is destroying the program.
Vitter is destroying the university.
They are really quite a pair of losers
