Doubtful based on outside the stadium indicators of what 20K games have looked like in the past. Things like parking, and tailgate crowd didn't indicate 20K.
Both of the north wings were empty. The southern end of the east side was very sparse. The top of the east side was sparse. I don't believe the east side was much over 50% total.
Re: Positives from S. Alabama Game
What I thought was unusual was the lower SW (A an B) was so full while the lower NW was empty. Are A & B the children's club seats? The last time I was there (HC last year) they put recruits and parents in the lower NW section.

The city-sponsored trolley service from Railroad Park to The Joe is excellent! There were four trolleys and very minimal waiting, even immediately following the game. Kudos to Mayor Walker and the city of Ruston!

w/out looking again, I think those are family pack and kids club. It looked like a normal crowd down there to me.

Re: Positives from S. Alabama Game
I'm at the point to where I honestly see how Amik Robertson is comparable to Tyrann Mathieu. He is aggressive and disruptive to the point that his very presence impacts just about every play. I remember wondering how Honey Badger could have such a substantial effect on a game. Amik's got that element to his game. He's something!

Its called being HIGHLY AGRESSIVE ON EVERY SINGLE PLAY! All of the truly great players have this in common. Instead of trying to "just keep everything in front of you" go make a big play happen.

He’s special. I love his tenacity. He can make a play at any time. He’s always in the right place to do so. That defended pass in the end zone vs. SCar was awesome. He was beat by a step, but got a finger on the ball and knocked it loose. At 5’9, he can still tie his shoes standing straight up. He has big hands. If he can grow just one inch by his senior year, he’s even more draftable.. it’s only a matter of time until he’s returning kicks/punts and getting pick sixes.

Speaking of Tyrann Matheiu, Trent Taylor lit him up to gain a first down on Sunday.
