Is that a real number, was there a large contingent of FIU fans? Even though they lost I am still concerned that they are drawing these number when it comes to the whole expansion conversation. Even if they go 0-12 but draw 40k, does it matter? This is our season to bury them, but I just hope our attendance is there. Gawd I can't wait until Saturday evening, time is dragging.

That may be the announced attendance, tickets sold, distributed ect... but no way actual butts in seats. Capacity is only 45,000 and change I Believe. Stadium was a little over half full.

So you are saying that they actually had only 25k in attendance but announced 40? That makes me feel better, but that is a heck of spread there.

The North corners were light, especially the traditional away fan seating. Not empty, but light. Student section was full at the kick, over flowing in fact. South corners were full beyond the norms. Sunny side was dominated by the new ESC club, where we moved to, and the club deck was full all night long, so the seats probably looked sparse. The crowd was VERY loud, and I think contributed to several offense procedure calls. For a Thursday night, 6:00 kick game, I was impressed. Tons of families with younger kids. Oh well, on the next one. Good luck tomorrow. Edited September 5, 2015 by footnfan1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see plenty of empty aluminum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
