I might have missed it but what was the attendance and how many were actually there?

There were many many many empty seats.
People missed a game that was the best effort the vols have given all year

Box score on SI.com says 98,239.

From my seat it looked like 85-90,000.

I doubt there were 80,000 there. I have been to over 100 games at Neyland.

I have NEVER seen traffic so light on 17th St. an hour before the game. I've never seen so many half empty parking lots.

You could see empty seats everywhere. People spread out when it's not packed, and it looks a lot fuller than it really is. There were 4 of us in Sec, C row 48. We had 8 seats of space. There were empty seats all over the place around us,

I agree. Since the bench seats are squeezed so tightly I figure you could have 1/3 of the bench seating empty and the place would still look completely full. People would just spread out and still be close to touching shoulder to shoulder. I wouldn't be surprised if the actual number of bodies in seats was in the 60,000 - 65,000range (that was my estimate for the UAB game based on sampling rows around me yet it was announced at 98,000). I agree that the pre/post game parking lots and street traffic is also a good indicator.

i think it was less than uab.

although the nosebleeds were empty, there were massive empy spots all along the bottom. over next to the student section and above the band. lot of empty spots.

I was sitting in GG row 6 and directly to the right of me there were two entirely empty sections of students seats. I also counted..(because the first half was so boring)...under the jumbotron there were 10 rows empty 6 sections wide. An estimate of 70,000 is probably more accurate. We can only hope that even with the win the administration saw it and with a loss this week to bama they begin the process of making a change.

We drove in about 2.5 hours before gametime and didn't even have to slow down on 40 or Alcoa Highway, hit the first light at Neyland, and went directly into the garage without waiting. The Vol Walk was les than impressive. Our wait at Copper Cellar was 5 minutes. The stadium was emptier than it looked: we were on the 50, and there were empty seats to all sides of us. I would say that 80,000 would be a good guess.
