Not to worry. The SEC has increased it's attendance over last year to 76,098 fans per game. This article does a nice breakdown, but it doesn't account for the fact that construction of Faurot has temporarily reduced seating capacity from 68,349 to 62,023. Mizzou has averaged 61,104 per game so far (2.4 KUHCs), and we have only hosted one conference home game.

MU capacity is down 71k and change to 67k and change due to construction and will be in the range of 77k once the east side is done as I understand it. I think that average attendance # is right though at least compared to box scores as I checked the match for us. Makes sense, prior to the Vandy game a lot of us thought we'd be shopping for a coach this offseason and then boom!
I also question the #'s announced for the Fla game (as in they are probably low). They announced capacity for the box score but IDK if that includes all the people on the hill b/c it was full & the attendance # matches the current listed capacity to the exact #.
They don't stop selling hill tickets, it's not like a clearly defined # of seats, they'll sell as many of them as the public will buy I think, it's just a general admission ticket. You can sit on the hill or stand or whatever.
