I’d estimate they brought about 7k last time

By “some made up tickets sold nonsense” do you mean the same metric that every other team in the nation uses?

Based on pictures from that game they had about half of the east side covered plus a good number of the fans in the end zone last time - whatever amount that is. It was similar weather to what we are expecting tomorrow fwiw

Of course this was pre COVID so who knows now but there will be alot more than 11k total attendance

Either way glad to see your optimism has carried over into football season. Over 23k and Grambling didn’t bring a quarter of what they brought last time. Get a win against kennesaw and that Tulane game may have a bigger crowd.

I posted that when the forecast said 50% chance of rain. Glad to see I was wrong

I don't really care about reported attendance. Butts in seats is the real measuring stick.

Looked pretty good for a rainy-ish night

Dude, you’re the biggest pessimist here, and that includes guys like cajun4life and jeweler, and that’s saying something.

Why am I getting a drive by here?

I predicted a sellout of 25k.

I was giggling while I typed it. No malice

This isn’t necessarily attendance related but is there a reason the cameras show the student side, before the demolition? The home side is always fuller and it would look so much better on tv.

Because that's the side that the media sat on and tv cameras need to be oriented in the same direction. Going forward the media will always be on the east side. The new west side construction will not have any media press boxes

At some point there will be permanent press boxes built on the east side. The temporary ones will be in place until that process begins
