Well, at least somebody thinks 30K people at a football game is a lot...

There has been a lot of discussion here about students at the games and number of tickets sold.

With that as a background, I sort of smirked when I read the line in this UNH behind enemy lines article that talks about a crowd of "over 30,000" expected for the game. Whoop-de-doo!

Anyway, the bulk of the article is about UNH history knocking off higher-level programs, and is focused on the MN game...

hey, a stadium filled to 70% of capacity is just great, right?

I would think closer to 40K, but actual attendance, I'll give them that. They should roll to the Big House, or the Horseshoe though lol.

And this is also why these games can be tough. They're putting a lotta eggs in this basket, they're used to winning, have nothing to lose, confidence is high. Compare that to a mediocre FBS team (in other words, us in recent years), where hey're used to losing games, they don't treat the game like a Super Bowl, and likely, there's a least a little more pressure to get the win cause you know they won't be plentiful haha. Bring a focus to the game and we should be fine though, as long as Gray completes a few more of those TDs he whiffed on last week, and we sustain drives.
