those are impressive numbers, considering the bad weather

Leads me to believe our previous estimates for the Dartmouth at Princeton game next week were about right in saying that they will be around 10,000 with bad weather and 15,000 with good weather

Was expected to be 11,000+. Weather being what it was.... can't complain too much.

Wish I could be there. I was there as a player or spectator for Dartmouth's last titles against Princeton in 1990, 1991, 1992, 1996 and 2015.

“Hardy souls” was intended as a compliment
”snowflakes” was not

[Gangtackle11]

3900 reported by Villanova. Most must have been disguised as empty seats.

[HENJOHN]

Delaware Stadium had 14,600 in the Rain, Cold and Wind for the big win over #9 ranked Towson. It included a good number of 2003 National Champion team members.

very vocal crowd across the radio air waves......

[HENJOHN]

very vocal crowd across the radio air waves......

It was because it was the diehards there and we hung in there with them and let it rip in the 2nd half. It was as loud as 14K can get. Flacco was having trouble calling out signals in 4Q. They had to chase us out of the Gold Parking Lot well after the game.

[jmu007]

25,244 present for heck of a game in Harrisonburg between JMU and Stony Brook.

[fmftballmgr]

Box score showed 8053 for Murray JSU but our homecoming numbers are always skewed. That is the number that walked through the main gates and not the number still over in Tent city or from there

[katss07]

10k at Sam but our homecoming numbers are typically over by a bit. Looked more like 7k.

Student side empty after half time.

[CenMEBlackBearFan]

Maine had over 9,200 for Homecoming against Albany, considering forecast not too bad, never rained but snow in the 4th made for a nice touchxthumbsupx

[ST_Lawson]

UNI @ WIU....no comment (no fans either)

No dis, katss07, but there were a decently small # of your undergrads actually attending PVAMU's homecoming festivities (wearing their orange shirts). We had 14.9K inside the game but there were all of 25K-30K outside the stadium, easily. It's one of those cultural things that crosses school boundaries. (hence why aTm, ut-austin, unt-denton, smu, tcu, et al students arrive on campus and represent as well)

Colgate reported 1,827 Saturday versus Georgetown.

That's sad. As good as that team is they deserve some butts in seats.

I drove through CNY yesterday on my way to Syracuse and the weather was horrid. Honestly, that's more than I expected. Had the weather been better I would have done the double-header.

[World]

That's sad. As good as that team is they deserve some butts in seats.

Yep, sad

but the school is small in terms of number of students, about 2,900 students and way out in the middle of no where with some of the worse weather in the East Coast

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Colgate has never drawn well. The school's located in a very rural area of CNY. What local college football fans exist near Colgate are most likely 'Cuse supporters.

[ngineer]

No idea what the official count was in Worcester, but from what I could see on my computer screen, a couple thousand at the most.

Congrats, that's a good turnout. Good to see the New England CAA group - to include UNH and URI - build nice turnouts.

i caught a few minutes of UMass and UConn on TV. Despite their report, there couldn't have been more than 8,000 there in Hartford.

Bama St vs AAMU impressive just got to see what FAMU vs BCU and SU vs gSU gonna do?

[Sader87]

HC reported a very honest, and probably a bit inflated given the weather 1,779...too bad, it was Family Weekend at HC.

It's the Magic City Classic! One of the oldest Classics amongst all of the HBCU classics. It's played in Birmingham which is an hour from both schools and the largest alumni base for both schools. The MCC is a HUGE event that's lasts all week and draws in celebrities from all walks of life. Outside of the 65-70k we get into the stadium, there's another 40k or so that never enters the stadium but just tailgates the entire time.

Methinks JMU is about to win their first(?) attendance title

[OldKat95]

All schools, no matter what level, should be required to scan all tickets and report two figures - paid attendance and actual attendance.

[ngineer]

HC reported a very honest, and probably a bit inflated given the weather 1,779...too bad, it was Family Weekend at HC.

Wow. A pretty good estimate considering my vantage point from 400 miles away and limited camera angles!

[Derby City Duke]

Methinks JMU is about to win their first(?) attendance title

Not so sure; our home opener was moved up to a Thursday because of Hurricane Florence -- attendance was only 18K and change.

[mvemjsunpx]

Methinks JMU is about to win their first(?) attendance title

I doubt it. UM has about an 800 fan-per-game lead right now (≈24,300 vs. ≈23,500), and each Griz/Cat in Missoula this decade has gone over 26k. The only way JMU could realistically win is if the Griz somehow get a Thanksgiving-weekend playoff game.

Of course, I don't know if these two are the leaders. The NCAA doesn't list the national attendance rankings until the season is over.

[Serpentor]

10k at Sam but our homecoming numbers are typically over by a bit. Looked more like 7k.

Student side empty after half time.

There were quite a few people wandering around the concession stands on both sides of the stadium for most of the game, but not THAT many...

That is a pathetic turnout for UConn and is a blemish on UMass as well. I know they don't have good records but they are border states both FBS schools and they should draw have a huge turnout, will give a benefit of doubt and assume poor weather conditions had something to do with itxeyebrowx
