SBC Football Attendance

[zeppelincajun]

They showed up and by time of third quarter started there were maybe 200 students

Every program in the country has that problem. Even Bama. You aren’t gonna stop college kids from going to a bar instead of watching an uncompetitive football game. Just happy they showed up at all.

. . . they report tickets sold plus tickets requested by students . . . scanning is only to get you in . . . attendance reports are correct . . .

Oh well. Guess we have proof of a previous poster not watching the 2nd half, #Ooops

Woohoo. So is there a breakout of student tickets. Seems since it isn't just "the student side" anymore would be hard to know for sure just by looking. And also how many extra can students "request" or buy for non students?

This is the absolute truth! The students did their part.

I have a hard time believing the 18K figure.

[Big Buds]

Even if it was 20K, still weak.

But it’s an improvement over the past couple years.

[CajunVic]

. . . positives . . . the right QB played . . . we won by a good margin . . . we showed very little to ODU . . . our defense played well . . . no injuries . . . students showed up . . . negatives . . . oh just read the thread . . .

The students did show up. That was very encouraging, and especially with the Labor Day weekend where many of our on-campus students typically head home as a final getaway until Fall break or Thanksgiving break.

I hope that continues, and they only get larger and rowdier.

Yes and considering the fact that sorority’s are going through rush and most of them weren’t there. There are 400 girls going through rush, my freshman daughter being one of them and they weren’t allowed to go to the TG, game or bars last night. You could have easily added a few more hundred if sororities were there in full force. For the first time in my daughters life she called and ask my ESPN+ log in. So at least her, her roommate and friends were interested.

You think higher or lower??
I agree about the student section. Nice turnout.
From a TV perspective it didn’t look like over 18K in the stands. I’m sure the weather delay played a part in that. Not surprised by second half attendance. We always seem to lose at least half the students at half time and it was getting late for the family/kids by then too. Guess that’s the double edged sword of the later start time.
2 road wins and the next home game attendance should improve a great deal. You’d hope anyway.

[BeauCajun]

Higher. But we were a bit scarce upstairs.

That won’t be a problem next season. LOL
Really enjoyed my seats up there when I had season tickets.

[R1Letterman]

and the entire team and student equipment managers and some of the trainers are students do they add that in to the student figure (and possibly a few concession workers and a few university police)

. . . it’s just like the 4,000 for baseball . . .

Only if they took NIL money do they count for paid attendance. /sarcasm
