Even though it was considered a classic will the JSU v Alcorn game be counted as home game attendance? Is this year the highest avg attendance that JSU has ever had?

Is it still an official classic?
The home team was Jackson State, it is only a classic in name only for a financial contract. The game next year is suppose to be played in week "0" at Alcorn.

Jackson State currently averages 40,725 for 2021. This number breaks our own record which was also an FCS record set by jsu in 1997 of 38,000. Goooo jsu. Way to go baby. If jsu can manage to get 50,000 for SWAC championship the average would be 42,271. In comparison Ole Miss average in 2019 was 48,000.

That section is closed until they can get it fixed (if they can get it fixed)
That's why part of me wants them to stay in the Vet but that stadium needs modernization. JSU is in a prime position (no pun intended) to push the state to do so because it still would be cheaper to halfway do that rather than give them that 35-40K stadium

The state is the getting played because by delaying building jsu a stadium does nothing but makes the price more expensive when they do. Each year the price goes up higher than the previous year. But I said the same thing today that the state is going to have to come out of pocket either way. It was estimated in 2007 that it would cost $40m to renovate the stadium but it has gotten worst than it was then on top of more expensive goods. It would cost about $60m to fully renovate a concrete stadium of that size. Hell the press OC alone would be around $15m. It’s horrible up there and let’s not mention the structural damage to the stadium especially at the second level. JUST BUILD JSU A NEW 40k seat venue lol
That's the word on the street, the only thing is if they can get a waiver from the NCAA for more conference teams to play in week 0 and a 3rd team to play in the Swac-Meac Challenge also in week "0".
Under current NCAA rules, FCS teams are not allowed to play their first regular-season game until the Thursday preceding Labor Day. However, an exception to this rule has been carved out for nationally televised events (on either over-the-air or cable networks); teams may participate in such an event against an out-of-conference opponent on the Saturday or Sunday preceding the standard season start date. No more than one team from a conference can participate in such an event in a given season, and no team can appear in such a game in three consecutive seasons

That would be crazy to move this game to the first of the season.
