This week's homecoming attendance was 29073 (Lexington, SC -- where they ruin BBQ with mustard :shock:). Congratulations to Moonshine. His guess of 28806 (Asheville, NC) was the closest to the mark. To wash out the bad taste, this week's cookie is Chocolate Mint Cookies. Sweetness and fresh breath in a cookie. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/chocolate- ... etail.aspx

I watched the game on my computer, and it looked like alot of empty seats, was there really 29,000 plus there? It seems like the stadium really empties out by mid third quater, even with close games, which seems so odd to me, that if you invest so much of your time and money to attend the game, why do you stay for only a half? Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they are atleast showing up, but only for a half?

I'd be surprised if the announced attendance was accurate. It didn't look it to my eyes while sitting there on the west side.

And yes, only for a half. It's even bad now for the beginning of games where people are streaming through the gate well into the first quarter. I don't get it.

Guess I'm old school that I'm in an hour before kick off to watch the band enter, see the teams warm up, catch the week's new video, etc. :|

Tickets sold. Attendance is based on the number of tickets sold, not the number of folks in seats.
