Per KSR this morning, there are a LOT of seats still available. I would think after a 10 win season, it would be close to full. Supposed to be great weather too.

If the students come it should be a sell out. Get out of bed and walk over to the stadium kids. Be a parr of a winning SEC program.
What?SC, I saw on a website that the students wouldn’t be able to come to the game because of some crazy scheduling event ?
KSR writer posted that Greek events are that day so about 5,000 students will be skipping the game for that.What?
What?
Hence that people prefer tougher opponents than Toledo to attend games. Pretty clear we draw way better against better teams, yet people continue to like our weak schedule. Ok, then don't wonder why attendance isn't higher.Just saw that Florida game is already sold out.
Only at UK. That is very lame and ridiculous. I hope someday our students and Greeks understand we are in the SEC.KSR writer posted that Greek events are that day so about 5,000 students will be skipping the game for that.
If memory serves me, and it usually doesn't, it's some odd rule UK has that is forcing this Greek week stuff to interfere with the game.Only at UK. That is very lame and ridiculous. I hope someday our students and Greeks understand we are in the SEC.
Well we are going to continue to win with them or without them. I did not miss one football game or basketball game in my 4 years at UK.
There are some predicting aToledo win. By all accounts, it should be a good game. I guess you want us to play Bama and Clemson every game? Then whine when we lose.Hence that people prefer tougher opponents than Toledo to attend games. Pretty clear we draw way better against better teams, yet people continue to like our weak schedule.

Attendance would be higher. As I said, choose weak or high attendance.There are some predicting aToledo win. By all accounts, it should be a good game. I guess you want us to play Bama and Clemson every game? Then whine when we lose.

Ill be there. But I agree that opening the season with a MAC school isnt ideal. People can agree or disagree with me, dont care, put Indiana back on and open with them every year.
Noon games are usually not the best for people to attend.
most like to shop before a game or get set up for tailgating or something along those lines.
Noon games just make it hard for either... I know the wife's could shop after but I think a early season noon game I'd be to hot and sweaty to want to do that myself.
I also think this year is the same as last year with some stuff going on campus for students that will hold most students from attending.
Got Dam Frats and Sororities. Somebody should slap those do goody douches and daddies girls upside the head. What fool thought that was a good date to hold that? Freakin first game of the year is the same damn weekend every year.KSR writer posted that Greek events are that day so about 5,000 students will be skipping the game for that.
Yea the Sororities are having Rush Week the girls involved in this will not be at game.
Full on agree. I would hate going two levels down, aka P5 vs. FCS or G5 vs D2, but these games keep college football alive. There are too many good high school athletes for all good players to play at P5 then just not play G5 at all and separate completely. These are good for the sport. In week 1, everyone should be starved for football and this should draw fair. Not SEC East play in game good, but better than EMU the following week and Tennessee Martin in November.The opponent should not be an excuse for this. This is week 1. It should not matter who the heck we are playing. Everyone should be excited to get the chance to see who we are as a football team in 2019 and excited that football is back. That alone should bring fans into the stands. I think this argument works for a game in the middle of October, but doesn't really care a lot of weight for game 1, IMO.

So this needs to change in the future. Someone needs to approach the Panhellenic board, and each sorority, and ask them to schedule their rush week on a week that UK plays a road game, or to do it before the season. Tell them how important they are to the fanbase and that they are needed.
I looked at 6 or 7 other schools (Tennessee, Ole Miss, USC, Georgia, Alabama, TAMU, and Auburn) and all of them were before the season started. They either wrapped up last week or the week before. The only one that didn't was Ole Miss and they apparently wrap up the week they play Alabama on the road. Many of them actually end recruitment before classes even begin.
