Estimates Please

_ We are a FOOTBALL hungry crowd huh? Food is for tailgating.

I find it hard to believe only $2.54 was spent on concessions (on average)

ps not saying it isn't true just hard to believe. _

I believe it.

I didn't want to try to get to the bathrooms, it was so crowded.

I sure as heck wasn't going to miss the game while I stood in line to buy something.

_ I just heard a report that started by saying football fans like beer. It then went on to say that at the 1st memphis game of the season where beer was sold in the stadium over $100,000 in beer was sold which translated into nearly 40% of what the estimates were for the whole season. Hopefully our little roadblock will be overcome qickly so UL can begin to generate some much needed revenue. _

That was a home game versus No. 8 Ole Miss with attendance of 45K. That was a nice easy 1.5 hour drive up from Oxford. That sure makes our attendance more impressive. Getting back to the subject at hand, I think our beer sales would have been better that what Memphis had.

Stadium expansion needs to be put on the fast track.

I spent nothing. I snuck my beer into the game! Come on sell beer so I can donate my money. I will be drinking beer if I bring it in or buy it.

I read that both K State and Oklahoma State set stadium attendance records on Saturday. K State had just over 50,000 and O State had 53,000. These are BCS schools in the Big 12. 41,000+ is not too shabby and indicative of what winning football will do for UL. I agree with you that stadium expansion needs to be put on the fast track. Farmer told me in Houston that he could sell Suites now. Since Suites and added attendance will pay for the stadium expansion, why wait another 3+ years to do so?
