SWAC alums are not going to attend any ball game unless their team is playing. We have over ten thousand SWAC alums living in Huntsville and they are not going to support another SWAC school games. It is not about Birmingham, they will not attend.

JSU vs MSU was the lone SEC game to have a sellout.

The drive wouldn't be so bad if the states of Mississippi and Louisaina would do something about I-20. It has to be the worst interstate highway in the country. It's not fair to ask us to tear up our cars because your sorry ass states refuse to do anything about I-20.
MSU has a Conference USA stadium.
Most uninformed statement of the day.
If any SEC team has a Con-USA stadium it's Vanderbult at 39,000 and no luxary amenities. USM is larger than Vandys stadium now since they did their expansion. :lol:
You do know Ms. State adding another 15,000 seats and Luxary boxes at seasons end for their 2nd expansion project. This one includes a jumbotron in the new bowled in section that is larger than the Texas Godzilla Tron. The one they got now is 2nd largest next to Godzilla Tron. Now they will have the 1st and 3rd largest on-campus video boards in the country.
They also spending $105 million on Athletics and facilities in the next 3 years. :lol:
compared to the real SEC schools... yes MSU stadium is Conference USA sized....their record crowd is 58k.... 58K????? Videoboards? We are talking about seatin capacity....
The Port City Classic is being "wasted" on Conference games... No knock on Alcorn, but they and us need to keep this game home and home. The Grambling vs PB game should be home and home. The Gram vs JSU game should be home and home. I picked those three specifically because of the relative close proximity of the schools.
The PCC should be a "neutral" site game to play Sunbelt, SLC, MEAC, and other regional FBS or FCS programs. I'm sure either McNeese or Central Arkansas would draw 2Ok plus to open the season.
Ahh.......... MSU and OLE Miss are real SEC schools. They are founding members.
I know you won't see it that way because all you see is Mississippi in front of the STATE. Miss State has an enrollment of only 20,000. They sell out all 60,000 for every SEC game. Even though they adding another 15,000 seats, Why in hell would they need a football stadium that holds 100,000. :lol:
They actually build shat that they need. Not shat to outdue others, that ain't gonna happen. They needed $30,000,000 for an indoor practice facility. They raised that in 15 months. They needed $25 million for a sports training facility. They raised that in 12 months. They needed $70 million for this next stadium expansion. They got that SINCE last years budget.
For a NONE REAL SEC school, I would say they doing OK. They only thing ya'll see athletic conferences for is football and don't take the entire school in the equation. Everybody don't have the SWAC mentality. You got a football team, you in. :lol:
I'm pretty sure the whole point of the post was being the lone sellout is pretty pointless when their stadium is almost half the size of the largest SEC schools.
Yall fail to look at the total population of Mississippi. Most states in the south have 4-5 million more folks than Mississippi. As a matter of fact, population-wise, name me an SEC state that's got fewer folks than Mississippi. It's certainly not Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana or Arkansas.
No for too long. They will be adding seats and closing the Enzone soon..MSU has a Conference USA stadium.

And the point ya'll missing is why do they need a 100,000 seat stadium for a school with only 18,000. They sell out 60,000 at minimum $50 a ticket, and skyboxes at $200,000 grand per year, (5 year leases), they making all the money they need. People want a ticket, get them early.
Ain't nobody trying to go broke trying to outpace the Alabamas and Michigans of the facilities world. They build what they need. Kentucky got a 80,000 plus stadium and can't draw flies. Miss State has sold out every SEC game since Jackie Sherrell showed up in 1996 and no, that ain't because of the visiting fans. Them maroon necks are there early and stay late. :lol:
What else do you want? :noidea:
CJ just hate anything Mississippi lol
My point is why brag about selling out a 55k stadium when you are in the SEC? Hell Bama gets more than that for a spring game. Bama has sold out EVERY game since 1988 and has a 4 year wait for season ticket holders. .... $50 tickets? Thats parking at a Bama game... $300 may get you a top nosebleed seat. Basically what Im saying is that in the SEC, Mississippi State is small time. They are down there with Ole Miss and Vandy.
This is a big time stadium
.aint got nothin to do with Mississippi.... just didnt undestand why he would come on here bragging about MSU being the only sold out SEC game. I could understand if he said the highest attended SEC game (which will never happen) but a 55k sold out game in the SEC?
