Miami '03 - 43279
TAMU '12 - 40453
TAMU '99 - 40328
OSU '02 - 31391
Baylor '96 - 29469
ULM '97 - 28714
Southern '15 - 27905
ULM '99 - 27360
ULL '15 - 26910
NSU '14 - 26004
Edit:
Fun fact: last year's UTSA game was the 19th highest attendance for the Joe, 25th overall.
What our admin claimed was not true. They claimed that the NWST game was 3rd most attended home game in Tech history and that the Southern game was 2nd most attended home game in Tech history. Both claims were 100% false.

According to that list, they are both true. Independence Stadium is not a home game. Ruston is home, Shreveport is not.

You're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view. :)

Other than Grambling, NSU games, and bowl games, all games we've played in Shreveport were home games.
I have not read every press release, but most I've read said, "...a record 7 home games at Joe Aillet..."

We are the host team, but I would not call that a "home game."

Normally I would consider a "home" game in which you spend the night before at home in your own bed, eat at home (or home training table) and have your regular schedule, etc. COYSH, however, likes to take his team to a hotel (Monroe or West Monroe) the night before games in Ruston. I don't see the Shreveport games as being any different for the players. For the travel staff, equipment etc, yes.

Sorry, but those statements were 100% false. Those were our home games in Shreveport.

Where exactly are you in the east side chaos? I generally am around the South 40 to maybe toward the 45 a little, at the top of that lower section. Great view of the game from there.

With the exceptions listed by md excluded, our games in Shreveport are home games.
Just like Arkansas games in War Memorial.
Re: Football. Single Game Tickets on Sale for @LATechFB - latechsports.com
Tech has played 15 games in Shreveport with greater attendance than the record at JAS.
- 5 Tech home games (Miami, Texas A&M, Texas A&M, Oklahoma State, Baylor)
- 9 neutral site games (6 State Fair Games vs. NWST, 3 Independence Bowls)
- 1 road game against Grambling

We got the lionshare
Re: Football. Single Game Tickets on Sale for @LATechFB - latechsports.com
Its just unreasonable to count as a home game, especially for attendance purposes. It's two separate stadiums with different capacities in two separate towns.
I hear them say "At the Joe" more than the general at home anyway.
