RE: Ga State home kickoff crowd
I actually felt bad for Ga St but if you insist on outrageously inflating your numbers and taking potshots at JMU then so be it.

As a previous posted noted, it was smart to use dark blue seats so the crowd would appear much larger than it was. I believe the stated capacity of the stadium as round 22,000? If so, pictures like these clearly show less than half of those seats were occupied. You can show all the pictures you want of "throngs standing on line" but you'd be lucky if you had 12-15k in that stadium. Instead of being proud of that fact, you just keep digging your hole.

You must be using the same head-counting method they used to count Trump's inauguration day crowd. Good job Spicey!

You're right.

If you look closely the folks are sitting quite far apart.

24K is thus a scary low number for a first FBS home game. It suggests core support may as low as 8K, but probably closer to 10-12K. But it's a long time until years 3 and 4 when that will be confirmed.
Oh no OMG

James Madison is only "not so famous" among imbeciles and the unread, so I'm not surprised in the least he doesn't rank among your Duck Dynasty and Kardashian heroes. They probably didn't have time to squeeze in courses about the founding fathers and US Constitution over there at the Atlanta City Night School, among their more popular courses like Reading Without Moving Your Lips and Walmart Etiquette 101.
Who do you think I am? LMAO

LOL. I like that you posted a picture where you can clearly see people standing three deep along the 120 yards of the top of the east stands.


There were plenty of people stuck in concession lines.

Also plenty of people still trying to enter the he stadium in the second quarter

There were also plenty of reporters to report our traffic nightmare and long concession lines. Nobody questions the attendance count and we are in a city where the local paper hates us. I for one was not in my seat
The entire game. I got to Fulton Street and Hank Aaron at 6:15. It was 7:15 before I made it through the gate. First trip to the concessions to 45 minutes. Fortunately beer lines were faster. There is also a hi uge video board in the entry plaza larger than most stadium main boards.

People were in the plaza just drinking beer and watching the game on the video board.
