[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 387120, member: 1191"] There is no question that tickets sold is greater than the number of butts in seat. The official attendance records are from the GTAA, however, so it is the data I had available. With the caveat that actual attendance is most likely worse, it further proves the point I was making. Winning a few big games has not historically boosted attendance. As to your other point, sure, being in the SEC would almost certainly improve attendance. The problem is that the additional fans would likely not be wearing GT colors, and I don't know how much that helps either. I also am not sure that our fans would magically just start showing up eventually because of the conference we are in. As it is, the ACC has been one of the top 2-3 conferences in the FBS for the past few years, and it hasn't moved the needle on attendance. Big games do, but again, mostly not our fans filling the extra seats. [/QUOTE]
