Bryant-Denny Stadium an hour before kickoff of A-Day.
Vacation is over and the work resumes. Waiting in the email was a lengthy release from the SEC. It had all kinds of nuggets exiting the spring football season.
One stood out. Though Alabama’s A-Day crowd was down 15,000 or so from last April, it was still easily the largest group to watch a spring game in the league. The 78,526 ranked second nationally to Ohio State’s 81,112 in Year 1 of the Urban Meyer era.
Here’s the complete ranking according to the SEC …
- Alabama 78,526
- Arkansas 45,250
- Auburn 43,427
- Florida 38,100
- Georgia 44,117
- Kentucky 4,500
- LSU 33,000
- Ole Miss 25,000
- Mississippi State 22,604
- Missouri 18,614
- South Carolina 34,513
- Tennessee 35,421
- Texas A&M 15,000
- Vanderbilt 8,500
Of the 14 total spring games, the average crowd was 31,898. Not bad considering these are glorified practices.
