Saturday Night Attendance??

[Colbert17!]

A Saturday evening in Sept. should be nice weather wise. The first Saturday night of the semester for the students. Party in the afternoon, go to the game and party after.
I know it's Temple who won't bring many fans but any guesses on attendance?

 

[MrsScrew_rivals32693]

Well, the attendance yesterday was announced at 53,026
Based on that, the announced attendance next week should be 67,352

In reality there were probably 35k in the stands. I would think/hope we get at least 45k

I think 40k at the peak yesterday.

I think 40k at the peak yesterday.

I counted. 38,324.5, including 13 infants.

Depends on the weather.

Supposed to possibly get some Saturday night.

most of the forecasts have a decent chance of rain Saturday, and Saturday night....weather day before and after, fine

we can hope the timing of bad weather changes

 

[Colbert17!]

Timing of this game is good for me. 7:30 Saturday night is 6:30 Sunday morning here.

 

[MTOleBlue]

I think we can almost guarantee more butts in seats on Saturday just due to the game time. No searing sun and heat at 7:30pm! Temple probably won’t have many fans like usual but it’s a local game and that will also draw some folks in to watch too.

Where is @RU848789 with the weather thread already? I'm perfectly fine getting some on Saturday night, but is it gonna rain?

You checked the women’s restroom in section 224?

Started one last night. Way too early to predict when/where/how intense any showers might be at this distance. But we all know even the threat of some bad weather is usually enough to dampen attendance for our fairly fair weather fanbase. I went to Temple in 2002 and stayed the whole game, not under any cover, so it's safe to say I'll be there, lol.

I'm always up for an intense shower on a Saturday night at home, but NEVER at Penn State.

Impressive … now try to break it down by gender

If rains all day forget it…..maybe 30k show up… hopefully

It's very unlikely to rain all day, but we could get a few heavy showers and maybe downpours a few times over a 6-12 hour period in the afternoon/evening, which might include lightning, which would delay any game. Or we might not. Too early to know. Much more detail in the weather thread.

The TV showed 5 of the infants walking out at halftime.

 

[Scarlet Jerry]

There was definitely more than 40K there on Sunday. I think we too 45K Saturday night if the weather cooperates.

 

[jeRseyguy1010]

Rain in the forecast all day and night. Won’t be more than 30k.

A NW fan thinks your post is funny

 

[MGSA99]

Going to be a TON of no shows with the weather. Tons of people are dumping their tickets onto reseller sites for peanuts.

Based on the showing of last week's game and Temple being local I think we'll do about the same. Maybe better.

I don't think that is possible in 2023.

Fair weather fans

That could be wrong on their weather assumptions

Outside of a few factories, pretty much every fan base has a significant amount of no-shows if the forecast and actual weather is terrible for gameday.

Ok.

But like I said, The fans that have their tickets listed on sale right now because it may rain are fair weather

That wasn't a Northwestern fan: it's a troll who stalks certain members of the board. Now banned.

agree, if it's not a sellout, we've got some maaaaaaaajor issues

Yes, also Ticket prices are lower than they were for NW on the Rutgers site

 

[Arizona Knight]

Agreed. We have Fairweather fans just like just about every other college football fan base.

Why would you say that?

You just basically said in another thread the team stinks and will be lucky to win 4 games . So please explain why you would think we would have major issues if two crappy teams don’t sell out Saturday night ?

Don't confuse him.

Anticipating 28,000 actual attendance
Not bad considering.

 

[Colbert17!]

Too bad about the weather. I think it could have been a real nice turn out especially for a team like Temple.
