Mjoelner said:1. The MSU website says the lower levels plus all chairbacks = 36,400 with a butt in every seat with a number. Today, like last year, the west side lower level and chairbackswere3/4 full and the east lower level and charibackswere lesss than1/2 full. Maybe there was 500 people in every skybox hiding behind the glass that I couldn't see. My guess for both years, 20 to 25k.
2. There was nobody counting bodies that entered the stadium unless they were silently counting to themselves which means that the 'event staff' stationed there unquestionably counted the same people several times. In other words, not only did the girl to my right count me when I walked in but her colleague to my left also counted me.
If there were 30k last year and 34k today then a packed house would be pushing 70k.
