Here’s some good news: For the first time this decade, Southern has more season-ticket holders (http://www.2theadvocate.com/sports/southern/30669364.html?showAll=y&c=y)than the previous season.

That is surprising. I figured that one of the most well traveled group of fans in college football would be more supportive of their team.

Season ticket sales slumped around 04 when they increased the ticket prices. Couple that with two subpar seasons and sales will slip. Travelling with the Jags is a whole different animal. There are people that go to road games that don't go to any home games.

selling season tickets 2 for 1 will attract people to buy.

That helped the increase and seeing progress on the field house will also help. People have been waiting for a long time.

Lots of people walk up and buy. I didn't know the actual numbers I was surprised to see it get down to 5K. Lots of people go to the games but don't worry about going in.

I think it'll keep growing, if they continue to find ways to get new buyers.

This week is homecoming and next week FAMU, two great weeks to be at Mumford. I'll be in Baton Rouge next week to cheer on the Jags.

Things like ticket prices, family packages, and what else is offered with the tickets can have a big affect. Our ticket sales are not as much as we thought at JSU
