I will ALWAYS rather be at the stadium until the day I can't find anyone to roll my decrepit ___ to my seat. Nothing beats being there. IMO FWIW

Problem is the more people at the game the worse the experience is. Lines are long staff is overwhelmed. People in your seats. So on and so on. So a lot of fair weather fans have been there for big games and now won’t go because its a hassle.
I won’t lie. I attend them all. But it’s a lot easier when there’s 10,000 there. I can get beer and leak during a commercial break. When there’s 30,000 you’re going to miss a quarter of the game.
I actually have friends who have attended with me but asked to go to games that aren’t as crowded for the reasons I said. My dad has stayed home for big games before. When they’re all on tv it does factor in big time. I like being there. I’m sure the refs could hear me from home but I know they can hear me in the stadium. Haha

I have always thought and said for that matter that there are two ways to bring in the 35k+ crowds.
1. Bring in a top P5 school (Alabama, Florida, Clemson, Notre Dame...). People would flock to see a big time program play on our own field, especially if we have a chance to pull the upset.
2. Play those same top P5 schools at their place and whoop that butt. People would again flock to our stadium to see the team that just beat that top P5 program on the road. It wouldn't matter who we were playing at home then.
There is a 3rd way to fill this stadium, but it pains me to say it for obvious reasons....bring LaSU in.
I think attendance would have been in the upper 20k's this year had it not been for Covid. Though we wouldn't have played Iowa St., we would have started with Missouri...and Wyoming. And I think we would have beat both those two teams also. Not sure if we would have had the ranking we have now, but we would definitely have had the same amount of wins we do now. IMO that is.
