What attendance would constitute a good showing on Saturday?

[Purple Stein]

• 2017 - CCSU at Syracuse (30,273)

The goal here should be to outdraw Syracuse.

I've got 3 tickets. Just need 30,271 more of you people!

This will be the first in-person UConn football game for the wife and I, so that’s 2 more butts in the seats. Better late than never I suppose.

I am actually on vacation in Madison this week. Heading home night Friday night to prep for the tailgate & game Saturday. Then back to Madison for a family reunion on Sunday & Monday...

That's the way to do it. Labor Day weekend: UConn game on Sat, reunions, boating, golf, whatever on Sun & Mon.

 

[BlueWolf25]

Got here at 11:30, tailgate scene has been pretty great so far

Don't let the atmosphere against CCSU keep you away once we start playing bigger games. If we are winning the Rent will be rocking again. I suspect that next season's great home slate will bring that real, "we're back" atmosphere. The energy is growing.

I really need to know what it is about the Yale Bowl that some on here are so fond of.

Presumably you did not attend many Yale - UConn games at the Bowl when the game was the de facto UConn homecoming game.

[UConnDan97]

Awesome attendance for am awesome performance! Hats off to the CCSU fans that showed up in numbers as well...

And leaving en masse mid 3rd quarter...

Great job on ticket distribution (and good for the school to put out) but people in the seats was sub 30k

 

[The Viking]

Id say low 30s - 30-32k was my naked eye guess

 

[BugsyCT]

Great job on ticket distribution (and good for the school to put out) but people in the seats was sub 30k

Probably peaked around 30k in the stands, maybe a little more, which is a very good number for UConn vs CCSU

Stands looked pretty full for the first half.

 

[BugsyCT]

Stands looked pretty full for the first half.

Better than most people predicted.

 

[TheDrifter75]

Not bad with all the worry of Labor Day weekend

 

[The Viking]

still amazed how many people dont get in their seats for kickoff but whatever - land of steady habits

 

[UCTitleTown]

For playing Central, this was a great crowd, especially on Labor Day weekend. Excited for Air Force and Duke. I can't make Duke unfortunately, but will be at Air Force.

 

[LetsGoUC]

what a great crowd!! and the team gave the crowd a lot of scoring.

 

[huskyinfl]

I like that we're using big conference mathematics to measure attendance.

 

[Kolumbo]

If you are aware of a website where I can put money on there not being 5500 Central fans at the game, please forward a link.

I couldn't make the game because we had a couple of soccer games to attend and I was missing the opportunity. Let us know if you were able to find a site willing to take your money, and how much you gave away.

 

[Palatine]

Decent crowd. But it sure didn't look like 37,000+. Regardless, perfect weather, Huskies rolled, nice way to start the season.

 

[Waquoit]

No matter the actual number, it was a fine showing by all concerned. The student section was great, not just in numbers but in volume.

 

[Duncan Idaho]

This was a success.
