UL and Ark State are coming off several good years in a row, so their ticket sales will be high.

Throw in the fact there are a few home games against P5 programs and you have a recipe for a great attendance season.

FWIW, Georgia Southern averaged less than 15,000 last year. It was likely an abnormal year, but it is what it is. I don't expect that to be the case this year.

Yeah it was definitely a weird year. A not so great home schedule plus consruction taking away seating plus a new ticket policy for students (instead of scanning id at the gate students had to pick up their ticket the week before) really screwed things up.

The ticket policy for students is back to normal (scan ID at the gate) and they can get a companion ticket for a reduced rate so hopefully student attendance will be back up to what it was prior to last year.
