Ladd-Peebles' vistors side seats 15,000. That would be a pretty big visitors contingent.

Let him have his fun. They're not going to fill Legion Field, either.

Trust a UAB fan, they are masters of NOT filling a stadium up.

I've never seen your place full, for that matter, and it seats, what? a third of Legion Field?

Here's a little something I bet you didn't know: 7 of UAB's top 10 attended games wouldn't fit in your stadium.

blah blah blah, no one cares UAB fan.

Troy isn't known for having a weak fanbase that doesn't support it's football program, that's yalls' gig.

Odd.

Troy averaged about 600 more fannies in the seats than UAB last year, coming off your 5th straight conference championship and our 6th straight losing season.

And each and every one of those butts came from OUT of town. UAB sits in the largest metro market in the state and can't pull in fans.

So there's stuff to do in Birmingham.

Never mind that you've had about a hundred year head start.

And UAB was coached by Neil Calloway which is the reason attendance was low. Now there's a new coach, all of that will instantly change. Right?

I certainly hope so.

To be fair, Troy will probably average in the range of 20k-25k this year. I don't see UAB getting that much support for several years.

Well, I suppose we'll all find out together.
