for Ill St @ NDSU

NDSU's final average attendance for 07 is 18,142

[furman94]

Great for yall! (Ours is like 13,000xbawlingx )

[brownbear]

3,000 for Yale-Brown.

There were probably only about 1000 left by halftime. On a better weather day, they could have drawn a lot more.

[Cocky]

6273 @ Samford for the JSU game.

[FCS Preview]

3151 at Hofstra, in poor weather.

[PantherRob82]

A lot less people at Mo State than I expected.

[YaleFootballFan]

3,000 for Yale-Brown.

There were probably only about 1000 left by halftime. On a better weather day, they could have drawn a lot more.

On a nice day, today's Yale/Brown game would've drawn at least 15,000; maybe more.

Two years ago we had a similar day for the Brown game. It seems we get crappy weather for Yale/Brown in New Haven, but nice sunny weather when the game is in Providence. In fact I don't think I ever remember attending a Yale/Brown game at Brown Stadium where the weather was anything but nice.

[BearsCountry]

A lot less people at Mo State than I expected.

10,590, students were the ones who dropped it down today.

[ccd494]

2,562 diehards in the cold, pouring rain to see two bad teams in Orono.

[Grizalltheway]

23,446 on a beautiful fall day in Missoula. xnodx

[Ivytalk]

Only 2283 at Columbia (including Junior Ivy and me) to see the Harvard win. And more than half were on the Harvard side!xnodx Lots of young grads there...good to see.

[JoshUCA]

A season low 8,860 for UCA tonight..bring our average down to 10,785 with one more game to go.

[SuperJon]

14,4ish for Liberty/Coastal. It was the 4th highest attendance mark at Liberty (three of the four have been set this year). We haven't been under capacity all year.

[Bos8]

4118 at URI to see them knock of #3 Umass, although there were only a couple of hundred left outside by the end of the game.

[T-Dog]

Attendance was a few hairs below 20K for El Cit's homecoming loss to App St.

[Ivytalk]

12,397 at Franklin Field to see Penn beat Princeton.

[Golden Eagle]

85,754 at Auburn. Supposedly the largest crowd ever to witness an OVC team play.

[DFW HOYA]

Dartmouth only drew 3,711 for Cornell? Surprising.

[Big Dawg]

23,000+ at FAMU

Can someone re-size this pic for me???

Sorry about that...

[RadMann]

Sold out at UD which means around 22K.

[ucdtim17]

13k in Sac for the Causeway for two mediocre (UCD) to bad (Sac) teams. Not too bad

[BDK@YSU]

2540 in Terra Haute to see YSU dismantle an Indiana State squad that has seen its better days...

[MTGrizzFan]

23,446 on a beautiful fall day in Missoula. xnodx

it sure was...felt like the first couple games

[yorkcountyUNHfan]

3470 reported in Durham...I'm not sure I believe it

[813Jag]

8,164 in Houston for Texas Southern/Southern. Not a good number but it's understandable why the number are what they are.

[Uncle Buck]

3100 give or take a few at HU. Pretty much expected as our crowds stink as it is, throw in a cold on/off rain and wind, shocked we had that many.

[brownbear]

12,397 at Franklin Field to see Penn beat Princeton.

Did they get rain in Philadelphia?

[Gil Dobie]

If NDSU can do this for 5 years, maybe there will be talk of a new stadium. xeekx

Just a shade over 3,000 in Hamilton for Lehigh-Colgate.

[appfan2008]

i dont understand how some of those schools who average less than 2 or 3k can stay above the bottom line

[Ivytalk]

Just a shade over 3,000 in Hamilton for Lehigh-Colgate.

But how many more were partying in the parking lot?xsmiley_wix

No joke...

But that's the first time we've had 10,000+ for a november game in as long as I can remember.

[brownbear]

That's what happened at Yale. There were a ton of people tailgating at the game before the rain started. Once it was gametime, the Yale Bowl was empty.

I would like to know how many tickets were sold for the game. There was talk that they could draw close to 30k with good weather, so they must have had a pretty good advance sale. Ivy types will sit in the cold, but not the rain.xsmhx

[YaleFootballFan]

Dartmouth only drew 3,711 for Cornell? Surprising.

Considering how bad the weather was up in the northeast, that's pretty good for Dartmouth.

Dartmouth doesn't draw very big crowds, even on nice days. They only draws decent crowds when they host Harvard or Yale.

That 3,711 was bigger than the Brown-Yale crowd, and Yale averages 10 to 15k per game.

[appfan2008]

I attended the Clemson @ Duke football game on Saturday and it sure was sad to see only about 19 or 20k at wallace wade stadium... a number of fcs schools can do better than that and Duke is in the ASS... it was pretty pathetic

I know you didn't list it, but why is McNeese only averaging 14,000 for home games this year? Any Cowboys know?

[Go...gate]

They can't; Football is accepting as a loss leader but very good for marketing and alumni development purposes.

I'm sure one person stood there cheering for the Colonels.

Were you at the '81 H-Y game? The weather sucked, and it was a shutout win for you. A double-bummer for us Harvards.:( And I believe the announced crowd was over 70,000. That would never happen today.

[Ronbo]

Montana now sits at 163,000 for the season and should go over 200,000 again with a couple playoff games.xnodx xrotatehx

[seahawkfan2007]

Can we change the subject?

[bulldog10jw]

I was at the '81 game. Not a great day. but not pouring, either. More amazing was the 60,000+ for the Ice Bowl in '87. I really cannot remember any Y-H games played in really wet weather. Cold, yes, windy, yes, especially in Boston, but not steady rain.

I would think that no matter what happens this week there should be 60k in the Bowl on the 17th. The title is up for grabs whether both win, both lose, or one wins and the other doesn't this week.

70,000 in the Bowl can't happen anyway. The capacity of the Yale Bowl was reduced from 70,896 to 64,269 after renovations in the late '90s.

The '81 Yale/Harvard game drew 75,300 to the Bowl, even with the bad weather. The '87 Ice Bowl game drew over 66,000.

With the Ivy title on the line, this years Game should draw around 60,000.

[ngineer]

They don't. None of the PL schools make money on the football programs and not expected to. Everyone runs in the 'red' in terms of gate receipts versus expenses. Most schools are fairly small to begin with. I.E. barely 3,000 at Colgate..of which at least 500 were Lehigh fans...Colgate's enrollment is only about 2800. At most PL schools half the student bodies have little interest in athletics..or particularly football. It's a constant uphill battle (no pun intended since most of our schools are on hills), and I'm amazed that Colgate does so well in recruiting considering the lack of fans, somewhat isolated geographical area and sometimes nasty climate. Biddle has to get a lot of credit for keeping the machine moving. Even Lehigh, which as one of the larger student bodies at 4,700 and has led the league in attendance for many years has seen its average attendance drop over the past 4 years...But for the Lafayette game at home this year that will bring in about 17,000-18,000 people, the home attendance average would be below 10,000.

[appfan2008]

Do you mean ACC, or was that a Freudian slip?:p

that was definately a mistake... as i meant ACC of course

[UDChE89]

3 of those numbers are pretty good for those respective schools... but UTC sure cant get people to come out

As a former Chattanooga resident, UTC will always be #3 in that area when it comes to football (including the local newspaper). UT and UGA will fight for #1 and #2.

[UCABEARS75]

A season low 8,860 for UCA tonight..bring our average down to 10,785 with one more game to go.

In a 9,000 seat stadium.

Man, those UM season ticket holders are getting their money's worth this year.

[The Moody1]

I guess App could have seven home games too if we scheduled teams like Lenoir-Rhyne for three of them.

[grizbeer]

I guess App could have seven home games too if we scheduled teams like Lenoir-Rhyne for three of them.Yeah since you only have 6 games on your home schedule, adding 1 more home game against say Mars Hill, or Coastal Carolina, or Liberty, or VMI instead of a money game at Michigan would be way out of line for ASU. How is that schedule looking for 2008 and 2009?

[ndsu71und74]

Question: How do you go about allocating season tickets? At NDSU, you must be a member of the Teamakers. I pay $1200.00 per year which then ALLOWS me to purchase two season tickets for various sports. My membership level allows me to buy two seats just outside of the 40 yard line and up about 15 rows. The closer to the fifty you get, the more expensive membership required. To the best of my knowledge, on or near the fifty requires payment of a full scholarship ($6K+) before you can buy the tickets. What about your deal?

What about your deal?At Montana you put your name on the list, and wait for the expansion. Depending on where you sit some seat require a membership in the Grizzly Scholarship Association. There are different levels of membership in the GSA, and your membership level sets your priority, but not all seats require GSA membership.

Does NDSU sell out all games? I thought that was something new? If they don't sell out all games why require a membership in the Teammakers to buy a season ticket?

[ndsu71und74]

Grizbeer: Are ALL seats reserved in Missoula? If so, I'm impressed. NDSU used to sellout all most of the time at Dacotah Field, but not all seats were (or are) reserved. When the Bison moved inside and simultaneously, the program faltered, the numbers never rose to the expectations. With the team now playing better and the move to FCS with consistently better competion, the crowd is coming back.

The Teamakers organization has controled the season tickets for as long as I can remember, and that goes back to the "bad old days" in the early 60's when they gave away tickets to the games. As an aside, it was said the best place to be alone with a date on a Saturday night in 1962 was to go to a Bison night game at Dacotah Field!

If your athletic department does not require some sort of membership or fee to get season tickets, perhaps they should. They are missing out on some revenue that, based on previous threads, I understand they say they need. True?

[Hansel]

Not all NDSU season tickets require a Teammakers membership

if you want to sit in the End Zone you don't need to be a Teammaker

[ndsu71und74]

Hansel: I thought that end zone seating was non-reserved?
