National Championship Crowd

[tvolsfan]

I know OSU travels well, but LSU is obviously closer. I'm pretty sure LSU will have more fans, but in a stadium of about 80,000, how many fans will each team have there?

 

[justingroves]

About 60 thousand LSU fans.

 

[tvolsfan]

Also, how are tickets distributed? If I remember last year correctly, which I may not because I didn't look in to this, some went to each fan base, and then the rest went to season ticket holders of the Glendale Stadium. That would favor LSU a lot this year.

 

[tvolsfan]

About 60 thousand LSU fans.

I hope so. I'm getting tired about hearing how OSU will still have home field advantage. I know they aren't the brightest, but seriously...

 

[myrobbins7]

About 60 thousand LSU fans.

That sounds about right.

I know a set allotment goes to the schools and then the some go to corporate sponsors and some go to season ticket holders.

 

[tvolsfan]

Well the season ticket thing certainly helps LSU. I'm not sure about corporate sponsors, but I could see Buckeyes getting in on that.

tvols are you giving any of your classmates grief about Ohio State in the NC?

tvols how man times has Tressel taken Ohio State to the NC since he took over at the helm? I wanna say this is his third time?

 

[tvolsfan]

You are right.

 

[VolfanMike]

Heard on the radio where tOSU is planning on bring 50K with them...I don't think they will all get in but, they are planning on doing (whatever it is to do) in NO.

 

[crazyguy]

is the national championship game anything like the super bowl which is mostly corporate?

 

[tvolsfan]

I think this is mostly season ticket holders. I hope so, too.

Ask Oklahoma how neutral a field the Superdome is when you're playing LSU for the National Title.

Ask Oklahoma how neutral a field the Superdome is when you're playing LSU for the National Title.

It would be hard to get around that risk however.

 

[hatvol96]

Oh, I'm not saying there's a way to avoid it. Just stating a fact.

 

[crazyguy]

Oh, I'm not saying there's a way to avoid it. Just stating a fact.

you're right, it's not fair.

 

[tvolsfan]

Oh, I'm not saying there's a way to avoid it. Just stating a fact.

How was the crowd? I can't remember.

 

[tvolsfan]

And if you know, how was the crowd for Notre Dame last year?

 

[droski]

after last year i imagine many OSU fans might not make the trip again.

 

[SWIL]

OSU isn't even a top 5 team in my book. LSU is going to curb-stomp them.

 

[tvolsfan]

That isn't true. Even if they don't get in to the stadium, they will still be there.

 

[justingroves]

That isn't true. Even if they don't get in to the stadium, they will still be there.

Ohio State does have rabid fans.

 

[volsgal03]

Ohio State has one of the biggest fan based following in college football.

Ohio State has one of the biggest fan based following in college football.

that's what happens when you have 11,000,000 people in the state and one major D-I football school.
