What do you predict for actual in-person attendance for Gophers/Huskers game?

 

[El Amin Fan]

I went with 50K+. Skers fans travel well, Gophers fans are getting excited again, great fall weather. Let's Row.

50K+ and not one red Starter jacket in the crowd. They're so scared shitless, they don't even make the game. Or since they can't read, road signs are in a foreign language to them and they don't know where to go.

Don't forget there are probably thousands of Husker fans living in Minnesota coming out out of their gopher holes to the game. Corn Nation's Jon Johnson (JJ) is one of them.

These transplants make thousands of little "Gushers." These little critters all need to be converted into "Gophers" before they mature into "Huskers."

I think JJ is SOL with his little critters. His son is going to the U. That is how it is done. Pretty soon, you will have an army of newly minted Gophers.

I let them know the game time by saying "the big hand is on the 12 and the small hand is on the 11".

Too many tall buildings in Minneapolis for Husker fans.

Prediction, I will be there.

 

[TNGophfan]

45,436.

 

[Some guy]

45,436.

There is no way there were that many people in the stadium

 

[PoockItInfor6]

There is no way there were that many people in the stadium

Why do you say that? Things looked really close to full?

 

[A_Slab_of_Bacon]

Why do you say that? Things looked really close to full?

Yeah it was a really good crowd.

Close enough to full to feel full.

 

[row19gopher]

Sold tix always a bit more than actual.

 

[salzie]

it was a decent crowd, but not packed

Husker fans are showing apathy towards the program

 

[MplsGopher]

Butts in seats always is in flux, but I would estimate the peak to be somewhere between 30-35k.


Nebraska should have been the homecoming game. That would've been a legit sellout and an actual exciting game for people to come to.

 

[PMWinSTP]

Why do you say that? Things looked really close to full?

Closer to 40K in my estimation. 80% full.

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Closer to 40K in my estimation. 80% full.

This. Oddly for the 3rd consecutive home game there were no other fans in our row but the seats show as sold. A dad and his daughters slid down a couple rows after the first quarter but that’s it.

 

[FredCoxRocks]

I watched on TV..looked like a good crowd on my screen. The student section filled up quite nicely throughout the first half. The 2:30 start against Maryland will be nice.

 

[salzie]

Closer to 40K in my estimation. 80% full.

Agreed, kind of what I saw as well.

I'd be curious the actual gate number though

 

[MplsGopher]

The U won't give this up, right? Internal only.

 

[salzie]

U won't give this up, right? Internal only.

you must have me confused.

This is maybe the 2nd time I've ever mentioned being curious the actual gate number

 

[swingman]

Prices were jacked up trying to get some of that Nebraska green.

Maryland game more affordable.

 

[MplsGopher]

Poorly worded, apologies.

"The U won't give this up ..."

 

[salzie]

"The U won't give this up ..."

Oh, yeah, I don't think they usually release gate numbers generally. I shouldn't have assumed you were just too lazy to write "you".....monday mornings. Obviously partial comprehension fail on my part



I do think they either got leaked or out in 2018 because they shared gate numbers for the Purdue game of ~16K or something despite announced attendance of nearly double

but going on memory there
