A perfectly extraordinary and exhilarating way to spend three hours or so on a weekend day!

My goodness - all for the low, low price of $60. Pony up ya cheap bast**ds. The Tigers are home!

While all of that is true and I share your enthusiasm, the fact is that we rarely put more than 40,000-45,000 in the stadium. Even recently for Ole Miss and UCLA we were at around 45,000.

All I'm saying is that due to the current landscape, it would be smart to fill up the seats anyway possible. Unfortunately, we are not at a place (yet) where we can fill 58,000 seats at $60 per pop.

I disagree. It’s an SEC opponent. We charge top dollar when they come to our place because they charge us top dollar when we visit their stadium. I’m paying the freight. I see people throwing $100 dollar bills into slots at the casinos. A $60 ticket is nothing for a college game.

If it’s too steep for your blood, stick to $8 tickets for high school football on Friday nites.

I get it. I really do.

I just think that, for now, it would be better to have a full stadium.

Discounted tickets to fill up a stadium playing a P5 would be far worse to any conference presidents.
