NC State Attendance

[BlueandOG]

The crowd was great, best in years. Traffic was terrible, but I’ll take it for a big crowd. One thing bugged me. Only a handful of people in my section stood up on 3rd down. A guy in his mid 20s told me to sit down because he couldn’t see. I rejected his request and gave him some constructive feedback.

I was happy with size of crowd overall. I don't think it was very loud though. In fairness, the game was not really a crowd pleaser. One early drive and one big play resulted in more than half of our yards gained.

Great crowd last night. I have to admit, as I was sitting in the stadium with about 30 minutes to go I was skeptical about 35K+. Eventually we got there!

 

[Huskydog45]

More than 30k but certainly not 36k.

It was definitely 36k….not sure what you were seeing. Student section full….section above that full of students…both end zones full….corners half full! My guess was 36k and it was 36.4k

 

[shizzle787]

Impressive.

 

[Devland]

Definitely. We got there around 6:30 and the cars were streaming in.

Given the crowd, thought parking was fine. We got in relatively easy. Found a fire road in back and got out real easy.

Curious about that massive building next to parking lot. Thought I heard someone say it was Amazon. Is that true?

If you are talking about the 2 warehouses under construction, they are a Lowe's warehouse and a Wayfair warehouse.

After what we've been through the past 6-7 years, it was just really nice to see people in the stands again. I'd guess around 33-34k anyway.

Take care of business these next 2 weeks and I think Duke could be another huge crowd on 9/23.

Walking out of the Stadium I overheard a conversation amongst some 30 something year old males. They said "at least we can say we went to a game this year". They sounded like they didn't intend on returning this year. Some fans are real fickle.

The crowd noise on the CBSSN broadcast was very quiet, even when good things were happening. Was it loud in person?

 

[businesslawyer]

Official numbers are meaningless except compared to each other. I can tell you there were easily over 30k people in attendance, it was easily our biggest crowed since the Michigan game, and if you told me we had attendance in the stands of 33k or so, I wouldn't be surprised. Obviously it would have been much better if they were all paying customers, but it was clearly the biggest crowd we had for a decade, and would have been a good crowd even in the Edsall 1 era.

And kudos to the students and whomever in the administration got them there en masse.

Agree with all of this but the one complaint I had was the number of people watching while not in their seats. I don't believe we've ever had as many standing in the gaps between the lower and upper levels as we had last night. I've had a pet peeve for years that we need to block the sightlines there and by the scoreboard, requiring people to be in the stands to be able to view the game.

With the return of the crowds comes the return of the Seat Police!

And the “French salute” I hope.

Kudos to the students packing it in...this was taken at 7:15 last night

Can't imagine the game vs. FIU will have nearly the same amount of fans. But if we can go into Duke 2-1, we could have a great crowd for a very winnable game.

No no no

If we lose to Georgia State there will be a lot of people watching FIU dressed as empty seats. We need to be 2-1 coming into the Duke game.

All of 102 gets up. ALL If you don't you don;t see

Game didn’t really let the crowd get into it. The timeouts and TV breaks are terrible and we’re waaaay longer than I remembered. Our offense was terrible except for opening drive and Rosas run. Student section was biggest I’ve seen in a LONG time and they stayed til it was “over.” Crowd was biggest I’ve seen in a long time. Lots of people having fun and cheering on 3rd down. 2nd down sometimes too. A great time last night minus the result.

This 100%!
The TV timeouts really killed the flow. It seemed every 5 minutes there was a 2:15 minute tv break.

Welcome to $eyeball world. TV never was, isn’t, and will never be, “free”.

To be fair, I don't think the busses leave until it's over. Lol

I thought once a bus was full, it goes.

 

[The Viking]

Yeah including the long injury delay it seemed there was a 45 minute stretch where there was at least 30-35 minutes of literally just nothing. Painful.
