It will be full. 11-12K May take a little bit of a hit early because of UGA-Bama, which sucks, but we'll see.

Only 50 tickets left for home side and 15 tickets left for visitors, so the stands will be sold out. 1282 berm tickets left. I don't know how many berm tickets they start with.
But it all depends on how many season ticket holders show up. Given that it is the first SoCon game of the season and first home SoCon game, I think the turnout will be pretty good. The Stetson turnout was very strong.

Also the Mercer Maniacs (Student group) are pushing to break their record of students turning out to the game. Their goal is 2000.

Between the Business School Parking lot and 3rd base side of Softball fields. Ask for tents of #67 or #38. |

Yeah, the only thing that concerns me now is this hurricane has shifted and it looks like it is going to push a bunch of rain into middle GA. Looking like a 50-50 shot of it raining on and of all day Saturday. Ugh.

Their goal is 2000. 2000 students represents about 3/4 of the undergraduate students on the Macon campus (2,600 per Coach Lamb in a recent video). THAT is an aggressive goal. Reckon what the % of undergraduate on-campus student attendance is at Mercer's brethren schools in the SoCon - not counting El Cid & VMI, of course...where their students are shot dead and then face a court martial if they don't attend. |

It would also be interesting to know what % left at halftime. In one of our close games on the road last year, the student section was empty after the first half. Also wondering if the grad students get tickets? If it were up to me, I would include them. |

Also wondering if the grad students get tickets? If it were up to me, I would include them. Student attendance is a problem at virtually every school in the country regardless of size. A friend of mine last night (a former football player at Ole Miss) said that the AD at Millsaps college in Jackson has started adding theme nights and jump houses to the endzone to keep students at the game. I understand that has some positive effect  Not sure about grad students. Just from my experience, most grad students (1) don't have time, and (2) have deep athletic ties to other universities. |

Grad students, at least up until 2012, had athletic passes included w/ student ID. I used mine for a few basketball games and baseball. Not sure if they scan ID's now or what they do. I do know my ID date officially expired on August 2015, not that I had tried to use it. I have bought season tickets since the inaugural season, but only use them when my undergrad school has an off week. My tickets get used though, since both my sister and younger brother are Mercer grads .... someone is always in my 2 seats.
