NC State Attendance

[DCT]

I have attended some Penn State games and recall attending a game vs Northern Illinois that drew 100,000.....yes, Northern Illinois. If Penn State can get 100k for Northern Illinois, we can get 40k for NC State.

Penn State sells 100,000+ tickets to every game.

Blue lot packed. How’s red lot?

Not full enough for 30k+ yet

I can imagine there will be a huge traffic jam of people trying to get in at 7-7:30

2 minutes to kick. + to the students. The rest of the place is mostly empty.

Maybe you should have gone to the game.

I thought attendance was decent in person. Not 36K. But maybe 30K? High 20's?

Students were pretty great for most of the game

More than 30k but certainly not 36k.

Crowd sounded loud on TV. At beginning of game, not many people in the stands. What was the holdup? Was the entry process slow or did fans just decide to come in late?

Traffic was far heavier than anytime in recent memory for a UConn football game. Exit 58 on I-84 was backed up so far that we missed our chance to get in line because we didn't realize the line was for Exit 58 -- we thought it must be for Route 2! We wound up driving past the exit, getting off at the next exit in Manchester and circling back, which also took forever because of crawling traffic. Very different feel from last year. Even though we left home (Bristol) two hours before kickoff, we were still in line at the metal detectors when the game started, along with a LOT of other people.

Traffic was a mess. Had a lot of people heading to the game after work and from the Newtown area it took me 2 hours to get there and park. That drive is normally 45 minutes. End of the first quarter there was still a line of cars up Silver Ln trying to get in. Really needed more traffic direction.

Crowd was strong tonight. The corners were the only sparse areas at peak attendance.
As usual, people didn’t really get to seats well into 1st quarter. And at any time, there are probably 3-4K people milling around concourse. My friends were impressed. They were expecting sparse crowds from what they heard about UConn FB.

thought student section was packed and really loud for almost entire game.
As for the rest of the fans, a little surprised but not really that so many left early.
One big play and it could have been a 3 pt game.

Overall, thought it was a good game. Uconn has some things to work on. But The Rent experience was positive from my view.

They always arrive late. ALWAYS.

Yesterday it was warranted because of the unusually high number of fans getting there on a weekday.

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?

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.

 

[TMB4405]

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.

 

[HomeKing93]

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

Impressive.
