2005 Football attendance guess

[79 Bull]

Just for fun, if the 5 home games are on Saturday nights, what do you think the attendance will be.  I think we are ready to break some records.

Here's my guess:

FAMU - 50,000

UCF - 40,000

WVU - 45,000

UL - 40,000

UC - 35,000

Average 42,000

I think you're being a little optimistic there.  A lot will depend on how well we do in the games leading up to any of our homes games.

BTW, is West Virginia the only current BE team we're getting at home or does UC mean Conneticut and not Cincinnati?

[79 Bull]

UC = Cincy

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought the lower bowl only holds 41,000.  So are you thinking they will open up the upper bowl for the FAMU game?

[Apis Bull]

Where's the list of which BE games are home for us and which are away?  I thought Lousiville and Cincinnati were opposite.

[Guest Mag P]

Both Cincy and UL are home games for us, so yes, WV is the only CURRENT BE team we play at home next year.

I don't care, I think our schedule is awesome.  I just hope we don't have a month long break before we see a home game like we had this year.

I would think UCF and FAMU would be sellouts.  Is that not the consensus?

You are correct and yes, I think they will open the upper bowl before declaring a sold out lower level.  There was discussion on here that they were prepared for the Army game to open 3 upper level sections on the home side if the walk up warranted.  I really think there will be more than 41,000 sold in advance (including the anticipated student/free allocation) for FAMU.

UCF might actually draw more than FAMU.
