Record Crowd at Sac State

[The Fan]

The Hornets are hosting NAU on Comcast Sports West. There can't be more than two or three hundred people at the game. Current conditions: 78 degrees and sunny.

nice, that must be why they are in the Big Sky and SDSU, NDSU, or any other school with a pulse is not :rolleyes:

just kidding, i am not bitter ;)

[touchdown]

try nearly 8000 in attendance, more then Davis got at any home game this year!

[ucdtim17]

Davis doesn't FIT much more than 8,000 and by all accounts had 10K+ at Stanford, 2 hours away, 2 weeks before school started

[lucchesicourt]

Also, UCD is just starting the fall quarter. School was out for the first games.

[touchdown]

No knock on Davis, but to say there were only 200-300 people was incorrect to say the least!

[GoAgs!]

Judging by the TV pictures the place looked empty. Our bad congrats Sac St...hopefully you can pull in those numbers at home during the Causeway Classic in the future. Must have been 1,000 or so Sac State fans in the beer garden again when I was flipping through Comcast.

[Green Cookie Monster]

No knock on Davis? BS, they can't draw more than 6K. As much success as Davis and nobody cares. Nice evaluation about the Stanturd game, where are the official reports of 50K davis fans at the game?


You people need to be worried about your own attendance. It is abysmal considering your past history. BTW...7,061 fans were at the Sac-NAU game.

6,379 and 5,840 fans for a Davis home game is horrible. Playing before school starts, how long is a semester at Davis, 6 weeks?

Huh? You must be a freshman. Sac has during the past 20 years draw much more than the 10K+ of the last Causeway. 20,993 and usually 14K range are the norm. B4 you open your mouth and diarrhea comes out, check your facts.

[catbob]

When I watched MSU at Sac last year it looked like there were about 100 people in the stands.

[The Fan]

Anyone that believes Sac State vs. NAU drew more than 3,000 people is either blind or stupid. There will be a replay this week, I encourage you to check it out. At kickoff the cameras panned around the stadium and the crowd could not have exceeded 1,000, including your pathetic band. By the way Moose is leaving at the end of the year which is why his son is not redshirting. Bobby will transfer to Fresno CC next semester.

[touchdown]

I will say this there is still a home and vistors side mentallity, and on tv the shots are usually on the visitors side, so i can understand some of the logic there, but as it sits, if i didnt read it wrong Sac has the 3rd highest attendance in the bsc for home games so far this year 8600 avg, i believe portland has the lowest figure an average of around 5k.

UCD is on the quarter system. 10 weeks. 2005 Fall quarter classes started the Thursday after the Causeway.

[OrneryAggie]

Ignore the cookie monster. He has but one source of smack on UCD and he knows that when the new stadium opens in davis next season that last morsel of superiority will disappear.

Let's see, 7000 hornet fans for homecoming = ~40% capacity. I'd definitely be proud of that.

While neither team is meeting its fan potential, the fact of the matter is that with Suc St's large stadium, large student body, cenrtal location in the sac metro area, the fanatcism of sacramento sports fans, and the ability to tailgate and drink at games Suc St should be outdrawing UCD by more than just a couple thousand fans.

Last year Davis averaged 7,253 (83% capacity), while for the 3 dates that Sac published at hornetsports.com, Sac averaged 4,533 (21% capacity).

I don't know what that 50K number has to do with anything. Stanford sold 8K reserved seats to UCD; add in a conservative 2-4K of GA ticket sales (myself included) and you have 10-12K UCD fans at Stanford, who made it feel like a home game, according to Coach Biggs.

The first two games in Davis were 4 weeks and 3 weeks before school started. As I've said before, attendance this year doesn't really matter for anything with the new stadium opening next year. If we're still averaging 7K fans next year, then you have a point. I'll be disappointed with anything less than 15K.

[ucdtim17]

And UCD will always have a bum deal with football season starting a month before school each year. Hopefully they can schedule more away games earlier in the season, as opposed to this year, with the first two at home, then the two big games at Stanford and Sac, all before school started.

Sorry for trying to compliment your school. The crowd for Causeway was a total of 10,187 with half being Davis Fans. A good chunk of your 10K+ crowds are Davis fans. This year Davis brought thier usual crowd, but you guys fell short a couple thousand from previous years hence 10k instead of 14k. And how can you call the pre school Davis crowds pathetic? In the past 3 years Sac State has averaged: 4,980- 2004...6,843-2003...7262- 2002

Toomey Field only sits around 7,500 without the added bleachers. Add the Aggie Pack with 1,500 or so students and we have decent crowds.

[AggiePride]

I would take 1000 Davis fans over 10,000 Suc State fans anyways.

When judging attendance by watching on TV, you have to consider that the main camera is on the press box side, which is almost always the home side.
On TV you are seeing the emptier side of the stands, which does make it look bad unless you are nearly sold out.
I know at UMass you can have 7K on the home side, and 3K rattling around on the visitor's side, and it looks awful on TV. Throw in students in the endzones and you have 10K + crowd, but to the guy flipping channels it looks like friends and family.

Point taken. As I said in the original post, the camera's panned the stadium and there was nobody there (This includes home and visitors side + south endzone beer garden- if it was open nobody was there). Further, Hornet Stadium does not have endzone seats. 3,000 is a generous estimate. At gametime the crowd numbered in the hundreds. Ask any Big Sky fan that has played a late season game in Sac. 4,500 for MSU in November might as well be 73 + band and athletic support staff.

Mushrooms? Tomatos? Dairy cow stuff holder?

Dig deeper and you'll find my grades...(As Hagrid said, "mmm, shouldn'ta said that").

New site for the Putah Creek relays? Anyone remember those? How much Miller Highlife can we fit in that pit?

This will be a great venue. CU all in ought - six.

For you BSC hunters, don't worry, we're a nuclear and lightning free zone and protect our toads
