See Vandy’s post. Move on . It was a good turnout.

So sold tix were 41K and you are saying 40K of them showed up?

Spent a good 15 minutes on the top concourse walking around. 30-35K.

From where I was sitting, I thought attendance was OK for Georgia Southern. I was expecting less people than the SDSU game because there was no flash sale and freshman didn't get in free but given the opponent, the announced attendance was about what I was expecting.

If we beat Purdue then the Illinois game should be pretty full and if we win that one then Nebraska should be a sellout. It all hinges on the Purdue game, so important.

Nebraska will be a sellout regardless because they will bring 20k plus. Perhaps a bunch of Nebby fans bought georgia southern Tix in a package deal

It hasn't been a sellout in the past with even their 20,000 fans. Or if it has been, the stadium definitely hasn't been at full capacity.

Sounds like UCLA has a problem worse than ours

"UCLA announced an “attendance” of 52,578, although it seems like many of the 75,000 people who were “issued” tickets decided to stay home.

It wasn’t for lack of trying. In an effort to try to fill the Rose Bowl for a key matchup against the No. 5 team in the country, UCLA gave away four extra tickets to season ticket holders.

This comes on the heels of just 36,951 showing up to watch UCLA lose to San Diego State last week. That was the program’s worst home attendance figure in 25 years."
