This escalated quickly! A perfect storm of winning, name brand opponent with connections in the area, an athletic department that knows how to market, a coach who is loved in the community, perfect weather and 2 SEC teams in the state that people are unhappy with. Congratulations to Brent, Kyle, Ryan, Chris and all involved in getting to this point. With a solid student turnout, we will see the Vet like it's never been seen before. What a day this will be!

You love to see it. One of the SBC Fan FB groups there is a guy who is keeping a spreadsheet of attendance and I'm always proud to see us in the upper third in the conference.

Looks like about 200 bow based on ticket map. Awesome!

This game may well up being the first sell out at The Vet at its current capacity. If there truly are only 200 seats left, it has already broken the "attendance" record. Now, let's talk about attendance. I want to see 30,470 (official, published capacity) butts in the seats. If you were in Mobile 3 weeks ago for the "sell out", you know that HW Stadium was no more than 2/3 full. There are a lot of free tickets distributed for this game. Remember, The Oxygen Man had tickets (I have no idea how many, none of my business) and I don't know if he was able to give all of those away. If he did, will the people who received them, use them? Now multiply Jones' allotment by all the corporate sponsors and the tickets they receive as part of their package, you could be looking at 100s, maybe >1000, tickets given out that may not be used. I think we'll have a huge turnout. I looked at the seat map last week end and the seats that were still available were not freebies, they were tickets yet to be sold. I think we sell it out, and I think we put 29,000 inside the confines of The Vet. If you know somebody that got freebies, encourage them to use them.

I was talking to couple of guys today. Percent of students to show since holiday. At max fill about 4 sections over there. Hopefully what would fill two. Maybe I will be shocked and get to 2/3 of them.

Are we still sort of a suitcase school? Back in the 90s, Thursday at The Porch was the night. Weekends on campus were deserted.

Would they turn people away if it “sells out”? There’s plenty of standing room.
I feel like we have a lot of walk up fans that buy the day the get there.

I hope the holiday tomorrow does not discourage students from showing up. The school is closed tomorrow.

I hope the holiday tomorrow does not discourage students from showing up. The school is closed tomorrow. This is a great point and something to watch. Next weeks home game is the front end of thanksgiving break. If you’re a student, you’ve had 3 straight weekends to go home. No reason to not stay for the Army game especially since you’re not gonna go to the ULM game.

Good thing they're giving a crap ton of incentives for students to come to the game.

This is honestly not schadenfreude, but I do believe that the recent troubles in Lee and Tuscaloosa Counties will help retain students and attract more casual fans.

I saw a lot of Troy people in sikes and kohns today. Looking for a big crowd I am amazed that place is still open, not in a bad way, just longevity.

We was the winnest G5 Program before CNB left us....Now we back. We need someone close to CJS and asked him to stay like our basketball Coach....we will be a Powerhouse Program and get a chance to play in the College Play Off. If we win, money and donors will buy in. Alot of Coaches leave a team thinking something is better...and not successful. CJS...lets make Troy the school in Alabama, thats Legacy.
The Sunbelt Conference is becoming a Powerful Conference and Troy has the most wins and the most Championships.

As of 1915, Friday, 11 Nov, according to the ticket map, there are 24 seats (you read that right, 24 seats) available for purchase for the game. One of those is a single club seat, the others are upper deck, visitor side. Oh how i hope they sell and have butts in them at 1430.
I'll check a little later and update if one is warranted.

At 2000, 13 seats remain. (edited due to incorrect count) All of these are on the visitors side, Section 207.

This is incredible. Pulling for the students to do their part and have the Vet look like it’s never looked in the history of football. No way the players won’t feed off of that

And then there were 8. One of those is the club seat that was off the board a little while ago but has come back on. It may be a hard sell, it's a single seat at $125. We'll see.
