I think 10,000 fans is great. Sometimes we have trouble getting 10,000 at our home games, except when ASU is in town. But, we are getting better. A better product always brings in more fans. Great crowd, sorry about the shine.xbowx

[93henfan]

Great turnout for a preseason event. Congrats ASU nation.xthumbsupx

While we're on the bring-you-own kick, was this event BYOTP?

[BarefootApp]

sounds like a good kick off to the season....was the construction a problem and how did it look?

[furman94]

Wow! We probably had a little over 1,000... Great for ASU!

[AppAlum2003]

Everyone was herded in through a small staircase on the East side and the West side upper section was closed off, along with the grass hill. Other than that, it was not a problem. The pictures of the stadium do not even close to do it justice. Standing in that stadium looking up at the pressbox and extra 4,500 seats on the East side... it's VERY daunting. I especially enjoyed my drive up Stadium Drive. The stadium looks huge as you drive up the hill.

[appfan2008]

if anyone tooks pictures of the stadium at fan fest... posting them would be wonderfully appreciatted!!!

[UNH SUPERFAN]

Good for you! You don't know how lucky you are to have that kind of support!

[elcid96]

How many fans showed up 4 years ago before your first championship title? That is probably the number the rest of us experience at our fanfest.

[HiHiYikas]

Good turnout for sure. The best part was the tailgate practice.

I dont know but i wouldnt guess more than 1000 or 1500

[APPALACHIANstate]

Practice isn't just for players...

[appfan2008]

[Grizaholic17]

Congrats on a great turnout. Can't wait for the griz scrimmage in a few weeks here.

Here's a slideshow with the App - State cheer:

Look at the players smiling on the sideline watching Pressley, do they know something we don't.

I've heard this kid is well ahead of where the coaches hoped he'd be half way through camp. They do not plan to redshirt him at this time which will allow CoCo to concentrate on the WR position.

You have to put your hand very close to the screen.....:D

Great pics!
Looks like a long way to go to make that Sept. 6 deadline.xoopsx

[appfan2008]

those pictures are sweet... thanks so much for adding them...

i think they will make the deadline... and those light towers on both sides are amazing!

[AppMan]

Yep they'll make it. Ten days earlier none of the finished concrete you see in those pictures under the East stands, the walkway leading to the East stands, or the lights were up. Yesterday's practice report on goasu.com shows painted restrooms and finished concrete under the West stands where only dirt was 10 days ago. In Boone again today and the new deck is all but finished, both light towers on the Eastside are up, scoreboard is finished, and crews putting in landscaping. Things are coming together nicely.

Do all the seats in the new deck have backs?

I can't wait to get back to Boone, I may go tomorrow, not sure.

[mountaineertider]

You may not want to come tomorrow with the freshmen coming in.

I'm pretty sure that she decided not to attend App and went straight in to a modeling contract in NYC (this from various sources). But I'd hit it :D xlolx xthumbsupx
