Spring practices are under way across the SEC and soon many fans will file into stadiums throughout the conference to watch spring games.

From 1986 to 2007, Tennessee held the spring game attendance record of 73,801. The Vols’ record held for 20 years until Nick Saban arrived in Tuscaloosa. That year, in 2007, 92,138 made their way into Bryant-Denny Stadium.

It took until 2011, when 92,310 showed up, for Bama to raise the SEC spring record. That record held until 2016.

Outside of Tennessee’s 1986 spring game that was months after the Vols defeated Miami in the Sugar Bowl, Auburn was the only SEC school to rank in the top 10 in spring game attendance prior to the Saban-led Alabama years. In 2013, Auburn saw 83,401 in attendance as Tigers fans rolled Toomer’s Corner one final time before the poisoned trees came down following the spring game.

In 2016, Georgia raised the bar for SEC spring game attendance with 93,000 pouring into Sanford Stadium for Kirby Smart’s debut.

Georgia’s record-breaking spring game, along with Alabama having 76,212 in attendance last year, knocked Tennessee’s 1986 spring game from the top-10 SEC all-time attended spring games.

Now – with spring games in the near future – will any SEC team break Georgia’s record from a year ago? Realistically, only Texas A&M (102,733), Tennessee (102,455), LSU (102,321), and Alabama (101,821) have the capacity to break Georgia’s mark.
