Northwestern State at Louisiana Attendance Predictions

Sorry for double post on this topic, like Charlie said, food & beverage were almost empty. Bathrooms were crowded, as were walkways as concourses. Like I said previously, if that's a crowd of 26k, the Southern 40k was a preposterous report. No way in hell we didn't have 30k there. I'm glad Hud called their dumb azzes out.

People don't use "preposterous" enough. Strong work. I'm picturing you with a monocle and top hat. I'll go you one further, if everybody outside goes inside, we fill that stadium up. We need to just report tickets sold and be done with it.

I've been saying that for 5 years. We must be the only school in the damn country that under reports attendance numbers. Saturday was the worst I've ever seen. I wish Luke or Tim would do some investigative prodding and find out if something squirrly is going on..

As I talk to my friends that tend to correctly criticize the AD regarding responsibilities that are directly under his control... but tend to perhaps state it too often on here... this kind of post does this forum absolutely no good.

To all the people saying no students show up...boom 5000 students

During the first half full except for a small group near North end zone. South end one shot 70% full. The north end zone buff about 40% by space. That group would have filled East and South

Fellas go back and look at the pics posted. We got under reported. Case closed.

yes, because I was there in the student section. Our side was packed. And if you took all the folks in the concourses in the restrooms/concessions ad the hill every seat would've been filled.

We just need to be consistent with baseball and report tickets sold. Greater numbers will encourage additional attendance. SF should address the attendance policy in the media to the fans and reduce any confusion. Transparency is key to trust.
