Glad it was a sellout, but on TV the end zones had a lot of fans disguised as seats. 😀 65 percent full. Max. I will say it looked decent on tv. If you consider it from a SBC perspective, it had the CFB atmosphere, at least tv wise, that you want. Was it a Penn State Whiteout? Heck no! But... it was better than empty and quiet.

Their band was quiet, their fans were quiet, and overall it just reinforces that they’re not on the atmosphere level of Troy. The upper ring was already leaving about 6 minutes left in the third. The whole place was empty with 20 seconds and the ball.

Biggest cluster f$&k of venue management I have ever seen. All of the vendors on the visitor side were credit card only payment. Then all the data terminals went down. City did a better job at Ladd Peebles.

You guys are forgetting elementary math. After half we round up! But it was pretty good crowd. 21,000 maybe? If you count the underneath crowd. Probably more 19041. I say your Numbers are about there. At its peak, 75 to 80 full.

I will say their stadium is very nice and perfect for them. The light show, fireworks and flame were a nice touch. Student section stayed the entire game and never left off the F Bomb, kudos to them for their commitment. I will say, their student section is roughly a quarter the size of the one at the VET so it's not apples to apples but again, they did stay the whole game.

And our students stood right next to them and never let up either.

City did a better job at Ladd Peebles. As was said, the pyro technics and coordinated light show were pretty neat. The concessions were a joke, lines formed by the middle of the first half and never let up. The bathrooms were nice and I guess the stadium was safe, I have gotten into courthouses and airplanes with less scrutiny than the guards on the gates of the stadium. Parking was confusing and located very far away. Post game traffic was a mess.

if no tickets are available - sold or given away - it's a sellout? can't blame them for calling a sellout - let's just win FACT: It was a complete sell out, but it was only 83% full. People have different reasons for not showing up. For example, My wife has COVID, My son and his family went out of town to a funeral, people have season tickets and did not show because they stayed home to watch the Saints- Cardinals game and some folks who also had tickets probably didn't go because they didn't get off work in time.

No worries mate. We’re SunBelt, we all play the tickets sold vs actually attended.

With the campus being in the middle of a over 200k metro area, one can expect some congestion. Agree with everything else.

Followed GPS/Siri LEFT on University then to I-65 in 10 minutes.

We parked in 401 and were out quickly. Quick enough where I didn’t notice how long it took.
We looked at the line to get on the shuttle buses and were like nope… we’re walking to the car.
I think I might still be in the line otherwise.
Lack of parking around the stadium and it being away from the other athletics facilities is extremely odd.

Due to the knee scooter we had no choice but to wait in line and we did leave the campus prior to midnight. CAN confirm that the last shuttle was ALL TROJANS which was a nice end to the night. It appeared that due to the win, they had gifted a shuttle bus to Troy

We parked in Lot 607. 15-20 walk to the lot, then < 5 minutes to exit the lot and mourned 5 minutes to exit campus ontoUniversity Blvd. It wasn't bad at all, given it was such a nice, cool night. I can imagine that in early September, in 80 degreee temps with 90% humidity, that 20 minute walk would make for an unpleasant conclusion to the evening.

That being said however, there is no law saying cash must be accepted. This in spite of fed paper saying: “Legal tender for all debts public and private. “ What does that mean? Your paper money is becoming worthless.

Getting in and out of South's Campus for the most part wasn't horrible. About what I expected for the crowd size. Really easy if you how to get out to Univ Blvd North to Moffett Rd (US 98). Cashless venue, well let's just say a liberal use of the middle finger

I parked at a church with a gay pride flag( don’t remember the name) right across from hero’s. It was ten bucks. Short walk and got out very quick!
