An average of 79,865 fans attended home games in five SEC stadiums — including annual host EverBank Field — led by the 102,154 who gathered to celebrate Texas A&M’s victory over South Carolina.
Two home fan bases weren’t as fortunate. Auburn, which drew 87,451, lost to Ole Miss, and Kentucky, which topped 60,000, fell to Tennessee.
The Tigers still sold out and looked good doing it with a blue-and-orange section stripe out.
