7,888 attendance vs Troy 22.11.05
Potential for rain and the elephant in the room 45 miles East. We are a mediocre football team, and I have seen ZERO promotion. This has the potential to be one of the worst attended Saturday games in a good while. I’m predicting announced attendance 12,215 and our smallest student crowd of the year.

They will be lucky to have 5k in the stands. 100 or so students. 4K diehards. Announced attendance will be around 14k

With a self contorted knee on the neck start time of 4pm you get a self reported all on deck of 13,365

It depends. Will the scanners be working?
If they are working, your guess seems about right. If they aren't working, announced attendance will be about 126.

If this is any indication on how things are selling thus far…

Re: Attendance Predictions - Troy 11.5.22
We have not announced what has been scanned in at least five years, probably longer. Announced attendance is based on ticket sales, not actual butts in the seats.

Then why were malfunctioning scanners brought up as a reason why an incorrect attendance for EMU was released, then changed to N/A and 0, and eventually increased?

I like the sale but as always the devil is in the details. Read that fine print. It’s ridiculous people have to drive to the Cajundome Box Office during the week or wait in a line on gameday to pay the same price as online.

Re: Attendance Predictions - Troy 11.5.22
I guess about 11,500 if we are lucky.

The only place I know people were talking about malfunctioning scanners was on this message board. Regarding the EMU game, I am sure it had to do with a number in the placeholder for attendance. It was the same as the SLU game. When someone noticed it, they took it down and put it at zero until they got the correct number. The correct number is up now. The people that provide the attendance are not the same people that write the stories or post the attendance in the box score. There are times there can be a lack of communication.
