Georgia has claimed sellout crowds at Sanford Stadium the last two seasons.
A season removed from the national championship game, the Bulldogs drew 92,746 on average to every home game in Athens.
They drew well on the road, too.
The Bulldogs not only filled LSU’s Tiger Stadium, they also pulled above-average numbers at two other SEC stadiums.
The 2nd-ranked Bulldogs suffered a, 36-16, upset before a capacity crowd of 103,321 in Death Valley in mid-October. The Tigers reported sell-out crowds of 102,321 for three other games last season.
At South Carolina’s Williams-Brice Stadium the Bulldogs played before an over-capacity 83,140 fans.
In a Top 10 SEC matchup with SEC East title on the line, 63,543 packed Kroger Field — official seating capacity 61,000 — to watch Kentucky take on Georgia. The Bulldogs won, 34-17.
A few SEC programs were not as fortunate. Arkansas, Auburn, Florida and Tennessee were among the schools seeing large dips in attendance in 2018.
These are the SEC's average attendance figures by school based on numbers reported on game day. The NCAA's attendance report for the 2018 season will be released in February. (Attendance figures are based on tickets sold or distributed, not people in the seats.):
