[CodyJ.]

they never give the actual total of people who went throug the gate. They give the # of tickets that are out.
They will say 34K, but it will be more like 24K

 

[Dooley]

Announced: 34,941
Actual midway through second quarter: 29,505
Actual with 2 minutes left of a 10-3 game: 2,308

 

[whaler11]

Announced will be the same as always. ~35k. If game was today would be lucky to get 20k in - it's miserable. Supposed to be ok tomorrow. I'd say they scan 29-30k tickets.

 

[FrostyNuggets]

21,000

You are a bigger, wetter rag than my ex-wife. Want to meet her?

 

[Adios]

Lots of big-time schools have a small percentage of fans left in the seats by the fourth quarter. Those who leave are the casual fans. The ones that remain into OT are the diehards.

 

[UConn76]

I'd say 35,000. Friday night is a good party night. Should be lots of kids who have imbibed early...and middle aged men in the same state of inebriation...

 

[BlueMAB]

Reported 36k.
Actual, 29k
End of 3rd, 15k.

Also, watch the student section file out after 3 quarters. duck the next poster who argues we need to give students more seats, they're great for 3 quarters, then they leave like a lot of other people.

Not when the team is competitive and playing in a close game. If the team sucks, yeah they're just as bad as the rest of the crowd. But most student sections will be like this when their respective teams are having terrible seasons.

I call bullsh!t. I've been sitting right behind them for 6 years. I can count on one hand the times the section was full till the end of the game. But even if you at least recognize they are like most fans, that's reason enough not to take the financial hit of extending the student section. We'd make less money off tickets sold to people also uninterested in staying the duration of the game.

I've seen it empty prior to the 4th quarter of a 1 score game (winning or losing) too many times to count.

Don't expect it to fill up too much to begin with. Student here I can't make the game because I have a conflict exam till 8:30 that night or so and I had trouble giving my ticket away to someone that would actually go.

NOT!

 

[Uconnalliance]

Hopefully being the final meeting it will be full and the game semi competitive.

Students tend to be late arriving on weeknight games. I understand the difficulty. I don't mind late arrivals on weeknight games from anyone as most people work or have other responsibilities, and traffic is always much worse.

It's the leaving early that pisses me off. Especially for noon games on Saturday. You're in ducking college, the parties don't start till 10, and they don't end till 3 or 4. Where the duck do you have to be on a Saturday at 3 in the afternoon that you can't stay till the end of a football game? Pathetic.

 

[sportsart]

With the wind tommorow night look for a wind chill in the teens. We could see a mass exodus at half time no matter what the score

Oh I don't think it should be expanded at all unless the stadium is expanded. Students won't want to stay until we start playing an exciting brand of football. And the stadium won't be expanded until we play an exciting brand of football and win games. It will be a natural process if it ever does happen.

 

[phillionaire]

student section attendance is gonna be really low. lots of people selling tickets on facebook. I, however, will be there.

I thought you were a Joe Namath kinda guy?

 

[YukonJake206]
