Does Vandy travel well?

[GTFLETCH]

We know Ga Southern will travel well (45-50k expected)...Mercer for a Socon team will travel well (40-45k expected)..

Does Vandy travel well? Will it be like Ga Southern or Mercer?

Probably more like Tulane

 

[FightWinDrink]

I don't think Vandy even home teams that well

 

[GTFLETCH]

Bummer... So coming off a 3-9 season we are looking at

Mercer 35-40K
Vandy 40-45K
GA Southern 45 - 50K

Blame it on the schedule for mercer and Vandy. Not much interest. If for some reason Tech looses to BC the numbers could go lower.

 

[TheSilasSonRising]

Goes to show how bad things are when we put OUR hopes for bigger crowds on how any a team like Vandy (or anyone else) will bring.

Should not our focus be elsewhere?

Good God....I have never seen such a sad sack, eeyore "fan" base in all my life. Quitcher beeyotchin, get excited and support your team.

Tech went 3-9 last year, so what? Wipe it out, sack up, and support your team. If it happens again this year, do the same in 2017. Rinse and repeat, mfers!

This group is in serious need of some redneck, cromagnon sidewalk fans who wouldn't know an acceptance letter if it bit them in the arse.

Georgia Tech Football 2016. Less brains, more heart.

Speaking if which, what happened to all the redneck Tech students? I remember there were a lot of them in the 70s. The guys from the 50s and 60s all looked like mission control from the Mercury launches. The guys from the 70s looked like the road crew for a David Alan Coe show.

 

[GTFLETCH]

I only ask because GT Bobinski is stating in the AJC that we are going to lose over 2.4 M bcuz of season ticket sales bcuz Dawgs are not a home game or something to that..

WhIle UGA fans travel well...I think it is because we have Clemson on Thursday and no FSU this year...FSU traveled well.. Ifor we have 45K at Mercer..50 K at both Vandy and GA southern...I would think that would be good... but who knows..

 

[SolicitorJacket]

We have averaged about 48k for many years now. Very rarely do you see it dip below 45k and it really is only UGA or FSU that pushes it to 55. The southern game 2 years ago was close at 53

That is the reality. I wish it was higher, but in my opinion nothing to wring yourvhands over.

LOL judging the fan base and Tech grads based on a thread with nobody besides the OP agreeing with its premise.

Average was 49,158 in 2014. Average was 50,0707 in 2015. The least attended game last year was VT at 48,522. Alcorn State had about 49,000 and Tulane had about 50,000.

By "attended" does that mean tickets sold or truly through the gates? I'm guessing "sold".

You are just a little ray of sunshine.

Alcorn State had 49K time keys sold however 49K were not there...more like 40K... I was at the Tulane game...There was not 50K at the Tulane game...I do believe more like 45K...I was at the FSU game...and 55K or more were there...

I am talking attendance not tickets sold...
