Needed 39,000 but did much better

Attendance was very nice.  Also crowd noise was extra crispy.  Good job!

Agreed.  It was VERY loud when we were on defense and everyone shut up when we were on offense.  Good job fans.

2007 Season Avg = 53,170

2006 Season Avg = 30,222

Increase of 22,948 

Incredible !

And an increase of 14,305 from 2005(only 5 games)

lets hope that carries over to next year. 

It should carry over.  With the opener against Kansas at night, we should start out with a sell-out.  This game needs to be hyped and pimped locally all next summer so we can open up with a huge sell out crowd and a victory to keep people coming back for more.  I am excited for the time (coming soon) when every game will be packed like the WVU game was this year.

...Doesn't look very good to TV (and Bowl reps) when the seats are 3/4 empty at start of 4th quarter.

I think they've been around long enough to realize that splitting after 11:00 when it's a blowout is pretty much expected.

I was surprised at the volume of L'ville fans who scrammed. Also, I don't believe their contingent was a large as it has been in years past. 

They knew they were about to get blown out!

I'm assuming the announced attendance is tix sold because the crowd looked more like 45-48K.  And the UCF game looked like 55-60.

25000 season tix is reasonable.  We don't have as glamorous a conference home schedule (Syracuse, UConn, Pitt, Rutgers) but one of the non-conference opponents is Kansas.  Wouldn't it be sweet to knock them off?

I'd have to disagree.  I think there were more than that there.  The lower bowl was pretty much sold out (Say 43k just for fair measures).  The upper bowl was close to half full (which is around another 10k).  I'd estimate around 53k.

Do they ever publish the turnstile count or is it always just the tickets sold?

You have to find the actual attendance number (not announced attendance).
