Quick Question?

[Chilmonty]

What was the attendance for NIU game Saturday?

Sorry if this has already been posted don't kill me!

 

[Ladie4Vols]

I was announced it was right over 99,000

 

[VolTopper]

That was tickets sold though

 

[Chilmonty]

How did it look at the game? I didn't see it.

 

[VolTopper]

Decent, there was some empty seats up top, but the bottom sections were full

 

[Ladie4Vols]

I watched it on TV last night it did not look like 99,000 not near that.........

Someone said about 80,000. More than UAB i was told. I guess that qb change did the trick.

 

[IPorange]

I would say about 90,000.

 

[jwells]

I'd guess mid to upper 80's. Not a bad crowd, considering maybe 500 NIU fans came down.

I think you are correct sir. If it would have been Crompton again......? hmy:

 

[G8TR_H8TR]

I thought it was about the same or maybe a little less than the UAB game. I'd say 80,000 at the max.

 

[kiddiedoc]

The Sports Animal guys estimated 80-85. By the start of the second half, there were FAR fewer.

It looked extremely full. The problem was all the opponent seats that didn't sell...Had it been Miss State or Kentucky, it'd have been capacity...

I wonder what percentage of people showed up mainly to see what Stephens would look like.

I know that is the only reason I went.... Well that and it was on PPV. I know the tailgating scene was just plain dead for a 7 pm game.

It looked to be more then the UAB game actually. Jimmy said on the radio that it was about 85,000 best guess, i would agree, i saw more holes in the UAB game myself.

people said actual attendance was about 85K.

the UAB game had large sections empty. that was really suprising.

It will always look that way. People spread out a lot when they have room. At the allotted eleven (11) inches per butt. You're packed like sardines when it's an actual sellout.
