USF At 58,000, Expecting Crowd of 60,000-plus

TAMPA - The University of South
Florida has distributed approximately 58,000 tickets for the Thursday
night game between No. 8 Cincinnati and No. 21 USF and projecting a crowd in
excess of 60,000.


Tickets are
still available for purchase at the 65,857 seat Raymond James Stadium.  



Fans can purchase $10 tickets online, regular priced tickets and
the exclusive Two-for-One Deal for USF Faculty and Staff is
still available



Tickets will be available for purchase at the stadium on Thursday, barring a
huge overnight sale.


The standard
student section of 12,501 was completely distributed on Tuesday afternoon, so
USF responded by putting $10 student section tickets on sale and the student
section has now grown to approximately 14,000.

That all but assures that USF will have its largest student turnout in program
history and will also max out its student section for the fourth time in
program history.  


The current
record for students in attendance is 13,499 set against Kansas in 2008. 
USF also packed its student section against UCF (12,501) and West Virginia
(12,501) in 2007.


USF has the
largest student section in the BIG EAST and the second largest stadium, in
terms of capacity.

14,000 students mean it will be LOUD!

Loud like UWV 07' loud. I remember going back and watching that game on tape and there was not a single play where the crowd was not a factor. However, I imagine there will be a lot less Cincy fans in the stands in comparison to the crowd that UWV brought that night. Besides the visiting section, there was a lot of yellow sprinkled throughout the stands that night.

What? You think 7,000 short of a sellout the day before the game is close to a sellout?

I lost my voice for 3 days after that game from yelling so much...  Hopefully, I can lose it again.

7k is pretty close.  I think there will be a decent walk up crowd as well.

I dont know where greg used the words "nowhere near"  but the game is close to selling out.

You had a headline on a post saying the game was sold out. I checked with USF, and they said it wasn't sold out. I passed that along. LOL!

Very nice.  Wish I could be there.  The crowd was rockin' for Kansas, should be more electric for Cincy.
