// Strategic Significance
Davis Wade Stadium holds 61,337 fans in Starkville Mississippi with a base population of only 25,000. On game days the stadium population more than doubles the city. Starkville sits in Mississippi tornado country and the isolated location means limited emergency response resources relative to game day crowd size.
