Attendance Prediction for USF

[gampelcrazies]

One thing I will complain about the ticket office is that they don't promote these games enough.

 

[Uconnalliance]

30666 the number of the Uconn beast !! We pull out the upset with no time left!

 

[whaler11]

Do the people that spend so much time here on attendance actually go to games?

 

[cheech63]

Partly cloudy and 70 degrees. 30,000 plus.

 

[Jaybird65]

Just curious.

If UConn beats a ranked USF, will your fans storm the field, like they did in 2007?

Based on what folks are projecting about attendance, it would be a drizzle or a passing shower at best.......

I go to games, but I have to admit that my prediction of 1 person in attendance contains some "wiggle room"...

Someone brought up the Price is Right - you'd win most of these threads with that guess.

 

[Caronimo]

We won't storm the field because there won't be anyone in the stadium by that point

 

[uconnbill]

I am going with 30,590.
A ranked team coming in on a very nice weekend with great weather. Should be 35,000+ at the game in all honesty

We have "mau-surements" and "Nostical wins", what do we call these predictions? They have to be be guessing "announced" attendance.

I'm going to say 25k actual, up 10k from last week.

 

[willie99]

40k

 

[rich1122]

What was the ST total. I never read it anywhere?

 

[Hamms30]

Same as last week

 

[HuskyBandDad]

Edsall Bobblehead day. Draw more?

16-17k. 25k last week. I feel like the 25k was pretty honest. The side of the stands opposite the press box looked pretty full but the rest of the stadium was probably 30% full. Makes me wonder if they make those tickets available first considering that's the side the TV angle shows-if so that's smart. I think this is the game with all the HS bands coming? If so that typically fills the visitors corner which will help attendance.

We got one of the all time-attendance fibbing schools coming in with USF though so maybe we'll up the ante. I remember when we played them in a monsoon and Diaco's strategy was to run up the gut 3 times and punt, hoping the defense could generate scores(Byron Jones did have a pick six) and we lost like 13-7. I think they announced 30k for that game and realistically there were 4 figure fans in the house. No one is as bad Memphis, tarping off entire sections and announcing sellouts to the stadium's capacity. Do they still weigh the tickets?

 

[BlueandOG]

I'm going full Confident Carl:

Attendance: capacity

Winner: UCONN

Score: 34-28

Fan reaction: Remain in seats and shower East Hartford with a chant of "U! C! O! N! N! UCONN! UCONN! UCONN!"

Finally! Finally! Finally!

 

[Palatine]

Saturday is going to be a little chilly. Which is great, football wise, for playing USF.

It could hold down attendance a bit. And I really don't see USF as much of a draw. However, the entire week heading into the is going to be in he 70s. That should attract fans.

I'm think 28, 962.

 

[CL82]

Figured. LOL

For those that missed it:

Lol, less than 10 years after the joining 1A beating the 11th ranked team is worthy of storming the field. In any event it was more about our quest for a BCS bowl, as you tell from the cheers.

As to this weekend's game, no promises of restraint. After the Diaco years any win feels pretty damn good.

 

[USFMB]

As a USF fan, I'm very surprised that we actually IMPROVED one spot in the Coaches Poll to #20!

In the AP Poll, USF fell two spots to #21. I expected worse.

 

[Husky92]

No guess as to what attendance will be, but tickets are moving on StubHub. I no longer live in CT, and am thinking of making the trip for this game. Been watching StubHub. Still plenty of seats, but the lowest price is now $33 when two days ago it was $25.

For what it's worth...

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

60s is awesome spectating weather. An early season noon game where you can go home without swampbutt is a treasure.

 

[HawkHusky]

Seems like USF may have an extended stay in CT. All the best to our Floridian brothers.

Thanks.

We had planned on attending the game, as a side trip to visiting with my son who lives in upstate NY, but unforeseen events have prevented that from happening.

So, we'll be staying in Tampa and watch the game at a safe location, if necessary.

I do have some USF friends though who are making the trip.

Conundrum: My usual crew of 12 will be expanded to 15 for this game as brother is bringing his wife & daughter to the game. Daughter & Son-In-Law are bringing the 13 month old grandson to the tailgate & deciding shortly before gametime whether to get tix at the stadium box office. So my guess is 31,256 +/- 3!
