For the lower deck. 50% empty upstairs.
No one posted this ?? 50,000 tickets ??
- Thread starter nutfromSEC117
- Start date
Kudos to those who showed up. Better than expected.
Plenty of people along walls in shade on both sides
If they could figure out the east side entrance to speed that up, they're would be a lot more people there when they enter from the tunnel
Well 50 was joke but there were a lot of people there today.
Yeah can’t fault them. The ones who did come were very nice. Gotta respect their masochism, which we’re all familiar with
tickets sold and given away make that claim valid.
But it's the seats being filled during the game that should be the attendance announced.
Rutgers won today, that's what counts for me and any complaonts about attendance can wait till tomorrow
( for me not anyone else )Are you joking or serious? My wife works in the district and doesn’t know anything about this lol
This equates to abou
Lower deck 80%. 34000
About 39000…in the house. Maybe up to 42
A very good showing given how we finished last yesr
Give me the same the next two
Games
Upper deck 50% full….5000

Really nice crowd - better than expected. The stadium looked really good and I bet that it looked impressive on TV. Sorry naysayers, but we had a solid showing, especially for a noon game on the Sunday of Labor Day weeekend.
Temple game next week is another good one. 7:30pm Saturday kickoff should make for prime conditions to attend the game. No extreme heat and sun will be a major blessing
Stadium looked good on TV- yes- it was not a sell out but on TV- looked great.
Really, they were busy at 9:45 when we went through blue and yellow. Maybe just your tailgate?
Crowd was good. Too much bitching from the board - stayed until the end and it was a very solid crowd.
Tailgates were great, late arriving crowd, as usual, but pretty good showing with 53K official attendance and at least 42K or so in the stands. Emptied out a bit early, but it was pretty toasty in that sun.
This.
And a few showers should not scare any real fan away.
What is the section to the right of the student section? That section always blows and did again today. Basically, the only section in the lower bowl that has never filled up.
Hot one out there today. Good fans turned out and stayed as long as they could. Tough conditions for anyone - especially those with children or any conditions .
Thankful for the 7:30pm kick next week after sitting in the sun for this one.
Decent crowd but only felt like it peaked from 7min into first qtr to half time. Emptied out after that . Upper deck at best was 30% used. Not sure about those 50% estimates

We brought cool towels, worked great. But even for us shrouded in cool towels and about 10 empty water bottles midway through the 4th quarter enough was enough.
Actually, it filled up almost entirely prior to halftime. Though many left with the masses in the searing heat. We lasted until the end of the 3rd quarter. That 7:30 kick is going to be clutch on Saturday.
We are in purple and drove by mainly empty blue at 920 and virtially empty purple
Definitely filled up but in past years seemed like peeps got tgeir earlier
Great crowd today. Of course if you read this thread you would think the opposite. This board is filled with negative losers - most of who were probably not at the game What a bunch of whiny b's.
That said i was pleasantly surprised we prolly had 44k legit in the game which was more than my prediction of 39k i got wrong but the school announced overflow 53k
I hope we get close to 50k actually in the stands on Saturday for Temple. What more could you want? A local opponent, nighttime game, family friendly day, no sun/heat beating down, and a game we can and should win lol
A part of it is Northwestern sucks, they brought maybe 200 fans if that. The Big Ten makes home teams make up to 3,000 seats available for away fans, those that aren’t used get given back to the home box office, those are the ones that become giveaways. Mostly the upper corners of the west upper deck (facing the R). NW has 0 fan support even at home, smallest stadium already and then with tarps over parts of their stands, then still empty
Absolutely serious. I have two kids in the district and I'm on the board. She should check her spam folder.
Everything from Sections 132-143 is technically students. There are over 11K seats in there, making it one of the bigger student sections in the country, when full. 131 and 144 used to be Young Alumni sections, but I believe they’re both open to general STHs as well now. The student section fills from bottom to top in 136-139 first, and then to the left. It’s always been that way. During the day, the videoboard does shield that side from the sun a bit more, but just a guess.
On TV I'd guess. 90% lower and 60% upper, which would put in the low 40s.
I don't understand why people's hour of arrival is important.
Just observing the tailgate scene and comparing it to other years
Sunday, people do go to church, long weekend. We did not leave as early as usual because of other stuff going on with the weekend.
I hate to spoil all this great negativity!
I know you are all disappointed by the game!
But, it was a pretty big crowd yesterday. I could tell by the long lines.
There you go, it’s a Negatoid twofer!!

No, I know where the band sits. This is all the way to the upper right of the student section where the horse used to come out of. There's always like only 50 in there.
