What attendance would constitute a good showing on Saturday?

Why? CCSU game drew 22,442 back in 2022 and anyone there saw in person a very solid CCSU fan presence that day.

The Central game was higher attended than both the Fresno St. and Liberty home games that season. And both the Syracuse and Boston College home games (who most UConn fans would consider football rivals and peers) only drew 25,000 that season.

Any attendance issues isn't the visiting team, it's UConn's problem.

Different year. That was the beginning of the upswing and excitement and interest wasn’t as high.

My point remains - CCSU isn't a drag on attendance in any way. UConn fans show up (or don't) on their own whims of a very fickle and spoiled fanbase.

Weather, tv, opponent - that's not excuses they make in the BigTen! 😁

Quantify a very solid CCSU fan presence. Estimate how many.
 
Would like to see 25k at least in the stands. I agree with those who think that this should be a Thursday night game.
 
They will announce slightly over 25K, there will be way less than 20K in the stadium. Not a great start time, beautiful weather, long weekend hurts, doesn't help.

I hope there are 40K in the seats for Puke (lots of hatred), and there better be 40K for Air Force, senior day, vs. a service academy, always an honor to host those kids. Navy at the Rent in 2006 was the hardest ticket ever (tougher than Michigan). Those sell outs will also mean the Huskies are playing for something towards the end of the season

FCS games are a drag. But a necessary pain.
 
Why are we dragging Central fans? IIRC, they represented last time.
