[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 821029, member: 1776"] As others have mentioned college attendance at football games have been dropping consistently nationwide for well over a decade now. We have seldom sold out our stadium - frankly it was always a mistake to build the North stands but that is due to O'Leary wanting a 'big program'. All it really did was create debt and give our opponents more tickets. GT has never come close to selling out these games against smaller programs that the fanbase knows nothing about. The only reason Nebraska had a sellout is because 2 individuals bought up all the excess tickets so they could call it a sellout. From a simple numbers standpoint, GT has too small of a fanbase to fill out its current stadium. It doesn't produce alot of grads compared to most P5 schools and then 50% of them leave the state. GT has only the 9th largest alumni base in metro Atlanta. [/QUOTE]
