Re: Northwestern State at Louisiana Attendance Predictions
What video?Originally Posted by RaginDave
From the video it looked like more than 27K to me. But let's put this into perspective, I live within 1-1/2 hours of 2 P5 schools that played in state FCS teams this weekend. UNC played NC A&T who travels extremely well (Similar to Southern, due to there band) and they are within an hour of Chapel Hill and they had an announced crowd of 44K. But even more dissappointing is Duke who played not only an in state school, but an in city FCS school in NC Central. The attendance for that game was just over 33K. Oh by the way, the weather in Raleigh/Durham area was beautiful Saturday afternoon. Maybe everyone was at the NC State game vs EKU who drew 57K. FYI, Syracuse only drew 26,670 vs Wake Forest in the Carrier Dome. The Carrier Dome seats nearly 50K and the weather is always beautiful there, and this was a conference game. Boston College drew less than we did vs Howard. Others of interest:
Charlotte 16K vs Presbyterian
FAU had 30K vs Miami (same city)
UTSA had 29K vs Kansas State
USM had 23K vs Austin Peay
Ohio had 25K vs Marshall
SMU had 25K vs North Texas (Local conference rival)
ODU had 20K vs Norfolk State (Local team)
WKU had 17K vs La Tech (granted it was a Thursday night)
CMU had 21K vs Monmouth
NIU had 17K vs Murray State
Wyoming had 19K vs Eastern Mich
Ga South had 23K vs WMU
ULM had 20K vs Nicholls
Texas State had 24K vs PVAM
Troy had 17K vs Charlston Southern
Ark State had 29K vs Mizzou
NMSU had 27K vs Ga State
UCONN had 28K vs Army
Kent State had 15K vs Delaware State
Akron had 23K vs Pitt
Nevada had 24K vs Arizona
New Mexico had 24K vs Tulsa
Air Force had 22K vs San Jose
UNLV had 31K vs UCLA
I know we are dissappointed in the crowd and I am with you guys I don't think it was accurate. But we are not the only ones that expect more from our fan base.
