Thanks for the info BOP.
Personally, I have no idea why John wouldn't count the band, media, etc. in the final attendance numbers. It makes no sense to me. At the end of the day it adds up big time, and I can guarantee you we wouldn't be the only school adding these people into the equation.
Rebel, I think it has to do with audits, etc., that have really come to the forefront the last couple of years.
I know in section DD (center of the upper deck), we were spaced out comfortably, which in a picture would make it look full, but in reality it's not even close.
If you actually put a section of the stadium at capacity, EVERYONE would be EXTREMELY uncomfortable due to so many people being seated. You would not even have everyone shoulder to shoulder, it would be shoulder over shoulder.
You could in theory easily take 26K and make it look like 32K, just by having everyone sit comfortably and spread out.
