In response to a legislative request, the PEER Committee reviewed the Veterans Memorial Stadium official attendance count during the September 29, 1991, Mississippi Valley State University (MVSU) versus Jackson State University (JSU) football game. Based upon statistical correlation between food sales and attendance, PEER confirmed the stadium’s estimate of 32,459. The 51,233 figure estimated by MVSU was based upon an unscientific sportswriters’ poll.
