Attendance for UAB game...

[bleedorange0037]

What affect if any do you guys think that today's hike in gas prices, and gas shortages will have on the attendance and ticket prices for tommorrows game? I know a lot of season tickets holder and others drive in from Chatt. or Nashville. With it being such a weak opponent, I think a few people might choose to stay home for this one.

first home game of the year? with our fans, i don't think it will effect the attendance much at all

 

[bleedorange0037]

i'm hoping not as well, it needs to be packed tommorrow.

I can't imagine that having to pay an extra $20 for gas is going to dissuade anybody from attending a game that they already have a ticket for. It's not like people are driving in from Arizona.

I'm going to say:

Real Attendance: 96K

Announced: 101K

you really think so? 96k seems awfully low.

first home game....i say 102,000

I'm just throwing out numbers. I don't know. I know the announced attendance at non-conf. games is usually a little on the high side.

I say we break, and look like we break 100,000. A lot of people don't want to pass up a chance to boo Phil and Co. on their first game after the debacle in Pasadena

I agree.

Noon kickoff + 91 degree heat + crappy opponent + last Monday = cheap tickets and plenty of them. I'll be shocked if there aren't noticable seats empty.

I hope no one boo's. Players can't tell a Fulmer boo from a team boo.

Wonder what Tennessee is going to do with all those $50 tickets when the Strip has them for $10.

They'll boo when they announce his name at the beginning of the game. There were a smattering last year too after our loss to Cal.

I think it will have an impact on those fans driving in. In Chattanooga, some stations are limiting 10 gallons, some stations have closed down their pumps or are out. What are you guys seeing in other areas?

it's the same thing here in Morristown. Numerous stations are completely out. Some stations let you get how much you want and some limit you to 10 gallons

Scalpers might have trouble giving them away tomorrow.

Gas here was going for $ 7.89 a gallon, and you could only buy it in two gallon increments.

I remember the good old days when gas was only $3.49.

 

[Etownvol]

Yeah that was yesterday. I filled up for $3.54 on a whim.

 

[allvol123]

Small crowd? I can already hear Fulmer referencing gas prices and travel problems post game.

I put about 12 gallons in my truck today at White Pine BP.

Isn't that pretty much their total allotment?

I believe it will be a sellout. It's the first home game of the season. I know I would be there.
