Saturday’s Carolina-Vanderbilt game was the least attended conference game at Williams-Brice Stadium since 10/23/93 (also Vanderbilt). Carolina won that game 22-0.

Well there must have been a lot of tickets “sold”. I tried to find 4 together in a decent area for about the last 3 weeks and couldn’t find any. I really wanted to go,

 
  Little under 65k Looked like 55k

The days of packing the stadium just because a game is scheduled is over.    Over priced tickets, a crappy product, fighting crowds etc isn't worth it.

And all these games are on TV these days.  That probably keeps some people from going.

 
Do people know what they are missing out on by not attending the games? Real question. 

i was thinking about this this morning. Would it be worth the athletics department time and moment to create some thirty second to a minute and a half commercials or social media videos that have Gamecocks fans, players, and coaches talk about some of the greatest moments they have had attending games? You can overlay their testimonials and interviews with clips from the games and events they are talking about at the time. Raise the fear of missing out for the people on the fence.

Great idea.

 
I think game attendance numbers during the pandemic are always going to skew low?

 
The biggest problem with attending games is that they last entirely too long...some going well over 4 hours...personally I will watch it on my tv,ipad,phone etc and go on with my day then go and watch a mediocre (by recent standards) product and spend what amounts to an entire day

To a point yes - but it has to do with excitement around the program and the opponent.  There's very little right now and we were playing Vandy.  We supposedly have the most loyal fans in the country according to some but the last few seasons have tested that.  We used to but I'm not sure we do anymore.  Probably a lot of that due to tasting some success finally with Spurrier here then the quick drop off back to mediocrity.  Some stadiums have been packed during this pandemic due to their teams being competitive and far more meaningful games.  Gonna be a while before we have those again.
