Attendance

[aust42]

Haven't seen an "Attendance" thread yet for week one. How many people attended your game?

49,119 attended the MD vs Delaware game at Byrd Stadium. I would guess that 8k of those were Bluehen fans.

[mainejeff]

70,585 attended Maine vs. Iowa at Kinnick Stadium. I would guess that about 180 of them were Black Bear fans.

Given the proximity, 8K would prob be a min Del following.

[Eaglesrus]

Just over 92,000. We sold all 10,000 tickets they gave us and I know some of our folks got tickets through other sources.

[Grizaholic17]

Impressive. How long of a drive is it from Hen Nation?

[aust42]

Impressive. How long of a drive is it from Hen Nation?

Hour and a half - two hours. Labor Day weekend probably kept a couple thousand Bluehen fans away.

[aust42]

Wow, good turnout. How did those Georgia Bulldog fans treat ya'll?

[89Hen]

Only an hour and a half from Newark to College Park. Probably would have been more there if it weren't Labor Day weekend. UD has gone to Thursday night games when they are home that week.

[Bison311]

18,701 at the Fargodome for NDSU vs Austin Peay

[JoshUCA]

12,158 at Estes Stadium in Conway, AR...an overflow for sure! 2nd highest attendance ever!

[jonmac]

There were 3 of us at Buffalo Wild Wings in Chesapeake, VA...oh, you meant at the stadium.xlolx

[Eaglesrus]

Wow, good turnout. How did those Georgia Bulldog fans treat ya'll?

I've heard of some incidents, but my personal experience was good, in fact the best of the four times we've played them. All but one of the incidents I heard of were just verbal, but that one was a 40-ish UGA fan who was following a 20-something GSU fan down the stadium steps and pushed him down the last 6 or so. Don't know what precipitated it, but I can think of no excuse for that. Good news was that several UGA fans chased the guy down and held him for the police. I was told about this by a friend of mine who is a UGA fan and saw the aftermath, as well as my son who saw the victim as he was being attended to.

[elcid96]

10,500 to watch us destroy Webber. Should be the lowest crowd of the year. Scheduling easy wins keeps the crowd away.

96 IT WAS ACTUALLY 11,294

[elcid96]

96 IT WAS ACTUALLY 11,294

Thanks. I lost count after 10K. Too many drinks.

[brownbear]

96 IT WAS ACTUALLY 11,294

How many Webber Intl fans? 5?

[elcid96]

I don't think it was that high. Maybe 2

[813Jag]

26555 Southern U. at University of Houston

[MSUBear42]

12,158 at Estes Stadium in Conway, AR...an overflow for sure! 2nd highest attendance ever!

Are we still your top spot??

[citdog]

THEY ACTUALLY BROUGHT ABOUT 75 FANS...... OR ABOUT AS MANY AS ELON

[Ivytalk]

70,585 attended Maine vs. Iowa at Kinnick Stadium. I would guess that about 180 of them were Black Bear fans.

And if you back out the team parents, that leaves...?xconfusedx

:p

xcoffeex

[Purple Pride]

Are we still your top spot??Our game with ya'll had 11,215.

Record is against Nicholls State last year, 12,620.

[furman94]

Roughly 8,400. VERY sad, considering Clemson is away, and SC played on Thursday. I guess most don't get up for Mars Hill as they would for App State.

[appstate38]

Just over 92,000. We sold all 10,000 tickets they gave us and I know some of our folks got tickets through other sources.

Not sure how many would have showed up for the LSU game but Gustav dropped that down a bit. Could have gotten close to the 92,000 I think.

[GSUhooligan]

Actual total was 92,746 and I would say 11K (+/- 500) were GSU fans. We sold out our 10K tickets that were given and I know alot of folks that aquired their tickets from outside of our allotment.

[poly51]

Cal Poly @ San Diego State had 26851 at Qualcomm Stadium. I would guess about 2000 Cal Poly fans. 315 mile drive through Los Angeles on a holiday weekend to get there. The traffic was terrible. Stop and go the last 100 miles between LA and San Diego. Some people took Amtrak the day before.

[Eaglesrus]

Yeah, and these numbers don't include folks who were in Athens but couldn't get tickets. The Georgia Theatre, which is two blocks from UGA's campus, was advertising that they would be showing the game live and I heard that it was full.

[WWII]

There were 15,112 at UMass. Albany had 300-500, maybe more.

[Ronin]

Over 64,000 for BYU vs UNI.

[furman94]

How many does that stadium seat?

[TTUEagles]

12,200 + for Gardner Webb at TTU. 2nd highest opening day/night attendance (I think). Largest opening day crowd was last year. Stadium seats 16,500...I am looking forward to seeing TTU at Georgia (for the atmosphere/stadium, not so much for the final score) in 2009.

[PantherRob82]

63k at BYU, about 3-4 hundred of them from UNI

[bincitysioux]

11,434 in Grand Forks for North Dakota vs. Texas A&M-Kingsville. Largest home opener since the Alerus Center opened! xthumbsupx

[catbob]

13,600+ at Bobcat stadium for DII Adams State, a sellout. :)

[RabidRabbit]

Attendance: 46,617 at ISU's Jack Trice Stadium, about 2.5K Rabbit fans. xthumbsupx

Largest crowd to ever see the Jacks play, and that doesn't include the TV audience watching.

Thanks to all the "other" schools who contributed during the game tracking on Thurs. xthumbsupx

[dakotadan]

11,434 in Grand Forks for North Dakota vs. Texas A&M-Kingsville. Largest home opener since the Alerus Center opened! xthumbsupx

I was extremely pleasantly surprised by this attendance. Can't wait to see how it carries over to this saturday's game against former NCC foe St. Cloud State.

[Col Hogan]

There were 15,112 at UMass. Albany had 300-500, maybe more.

And this came a day before students could start moving into the dorms...

[stuperman17]

105,011 for YSU vs. OSU...probably 10,000 from YSU

[GrizFanStuckInUtah]

How many does that stadium seat?

I believe the official capacity is 64,045 but the attendance for the UNI game was a sellout at 64,108.

[MSU_77]

McNeese @ UNC was sold out - 60K total attendance. McNeese sold its allotment of 1000 tickets, but probably only about 700 made the 1200 mile trip because of concerns over Hurricane Gustav.

[slycat]

13,952 for Angelo St @ Texas St. Great crowd to start the season.

[slycat]

12,058 for East Central @ SHSU, great for a Thursday night.

[Grizaholic17]

13,952 for Angelo St @ Texas St. Great crowd to start the season.

Texas state has repeatedly great attendance. xthumbsupx xthumbsupx

[Grizalltheway]

Well I showed up at Wa-Griz on Saturday, and there were no football teams or fans there. Is it possible that everyone but me forgot? xconfusedx

[txstatebobcat]

Texas state has repeatedly great attendance. xthumbsupx xthumbsupx

Thanks, although that's usually only at the beginning of the season. xsmhx

Hopefully things will change, although with only two winning seasons since I started following the bobcats (1992), I'm not holding my breath.

[Anovafan]

Sellout crowd of 60566 for the WVU vs. Villanova game. About 60516 WVU fans and 50 VU fans.

[Mountaineer2825]

91,922 at Tiger Stadium. about 50,000 after the first half. Damn it was hot down there...

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/boxscore?gameId=282430099

[introvertedGSUfan]

I don't know where you guys found that GSU sold 10,000 tickets. I had tried to get some myself. I repeatedly heard (and later saw published) that there were only 2,000 sold. I don't know if UGA didn't want to allow anymore tickets to be sold for GSU students, but I was very upset that they only offered so few.

[bjtheflamesfan]

15,311 for LU vs North Greenville. Second largest crowd ever (behind 2006 vs William and Mary) and largest to ever see an LU victory as well as largest opening night crowd ever

[ERASU2113]

There were 3 of us at Buffalo Wild Wings in Chesapeake, VA...oh, you meant at the stadium.xlolx

It was kind of hard to get the numbers of how many watched the game since people were spread all around Boone watching it.....:D :D

As far as LSU goes, too many people

From the manager of the ticket office and the director of the alumni association. There were only 2,000 tickets for sale to students. I bought 10 myself, and I'm pretty sure I couldn't have gotten that many if there were only 2,000 total.

[citdog]

15,311, JESUS NUTS, AND FALWELLITES, ALL WERE PLEASED BY A VIDEO BOARD MESSAGE FROM HELL BY THE CHARLATAN FOUNDER OF LIBERTY WHO THANKED ALL THE ELDERLY PEOPLE WHO HE CONNED OUT OF THEIR LIFE SAVINGS TO BUILD THE MONUMENT TO HIS EGO KNOWN AS LIBERTY for LU vs North Greenville. Second largest crowd ever (behind 2006 vs William and Mary) and largest to ever see an LU victory as well as largest opening night crowd ever

WASN'T AWARE OF THAT

[appfan2008]

32,571 in Wallace Wade Stadium to see James Madison get pounded by Duke... from what I could tell there were about 1k JMU fans with about 300 of them being the band... best crowd at a Duke game in years...

[gophoenix]

10,800 at Elon to see us drubbed by Richmond. Richmond brought a nice crowd of about 1000. Way bigger than the SoCon schools outside of The Citadel, Western and App.

[gophoenix]

I am not getting into that pissing match again.

The reason I say Richmond brought about 1000 is the east stands were not full and it seats 1500.

Go look at the thread of 70 posts from last year. No matter what i say, it'll start up a debate that I really don't want to be involved in again.

[appfan2008]

wow you need to pull that thorn out of your ass and realize this is the internet and no one is going to hurt you... i asked you a question... one that you can give a single number to... or if you are too afraid how about giving me a range of numbers... its not scientific just what you saw... but obviously you are such a pansy bc people made fun of you you cant do it...
i like elon... but man what a jerk you are...

[andy7171]

There were 31,613 at the Towson Navy game. I would estimate that there were 4500-5000 Tiger fans in attendance. Which was quite shocking!

How did you buy them then and did you have to be an Alumni? From what I saw, there was no other way to buy tickets except at the Hanner Complex. I'm really upset with GSU for doing such a piss poor job with their advertising.

[89Hen]

from what I could tell there were about 1k JMU fans with about 300 of them being the band...
That's a little disappointing. JMU has a great base of fans for home games and Durham is no further than Newark and they bring close to 700 for UD games. xconfusedx :(

I was pretty disappointed as well... I was sitting with my family in the Duke section and was staring right at them... I had been telling my family they would bring a ton of people and boy was I wrong... I kinda felt stupid after pumping them up so much!

[Eaglesrus]

I received an order form from Southern Boosters. My understanding is that you had to be a member of Southern Boosters and/or a season ticket holder.

[appfan2008]

I would be Duke controlled the game even more than the score... the only area I would say that JMU looked good was kick returns...

[Grizaholic17]

I'm surprised as well. I thought for sure a horde of JMU fans would make the trek.

[mcveyrl]

I bet the JMU fans that did not come are glad they stayed home. xthumbsupx

Yea, I wish I'd stayed home.xrolleyesx

Forget that! I got my drink on. Got my cornhole on. Watched a great half of football, and had to endure an atrocious third quarter. I left halfway through the fourth (had to drive back to Charlotte).

I ALSO got to eat on the Duke Ath. Dept.'s dime since I got employee tickets and ate their BBQ.

First, you can't just be a fan when the team wins (you'd only go to half of The Citadel's games). Second, the game, to me, is more than just the game, it's party time!

Having said all of that, I was also disappointed at our turnout. I thought we had a pretty good NC alumni base, aside from the fact that it was fairly close to home.

I am sure you leaving early had something to do with that retarded 1.5 hour delay... no reason for that... there was more lightning when they finally got the game going than during the entire time it was delayed...

I don't know if you're immature or not. The line of logic you took was a bit immature, yes.

It's a tired argument and there's no reason to even open that back up, it was last season.

[SoCon48]

I wouldn't go there. Suffice it to say that there must have been tons of Phoenix fans wearing black and gold and cheered when App scored.;)

Don't sweat it. Suffice it to say that there must have been tons of Phoenix fans wearing black and gold and cheered when App scored.;) All kidding aside, there's never an objective way to measure visiting vs home teams' crowds.
Hell, some people don't even believe total attendance when measured by scanned tickets going through the gate. xrolleyesx

The Rhodes Stadium gate for the App game was about 4-8K larger than their other home games.

ASU ..... 13,100
Chatt ....... 9,118
Lib ....... 6,796
WV Wes..... 6,248
Stony..... 5,715

obviously more elon people probably showed up bc of who the opponent was but i would assume 3-5k would be a good guess?

[gophoenix]

-sigh-

I've been goaded.

But also considering the magnitude of this game (ie Elon better, App coming off loss, App beating Michigan); interest on both sides was higher.

Was a family weekend game, comparing to other family weekend games:
2007: 13100
2006: 9542
2005: 9875
2004: 9935
2003: 8353
2002: 10520
2001: 9360

13099 App fans at the game. I was at the game so that accounts for the -1. App can piss a larger pool. Move along.

about 13,500 at Ball State for the NU game.

About 50 NU fans. Back out the parents, I was probably the only alum at the game.

i am confused as to why you refuse to answer a simple question... no one will hurt you! your bones wont be broken... your children will be safe... i was just curious how many app fans you thought were at the game that is it!!! nothing else... so why dont you just give it a dang number and move on... i am not pressing on with this bc i want a number but bc i think your reasoning to not do so is stupid...xnodx

I DID NOT CLAIM MORE APP PEOPLE THAN ELON PEOPLE... ALL I ASKED WAS FOR HIM TO GIVE ME HIS GUESS! THAT IS IT!

Some App fans claim they outnumbered Elon at the game, I just wanted to put that inaccuracy to rest.......

[gophoenix]

is your self esteem so low that you feel i am personally attacking you?

i am doing nothing of the such?

i am confused as to why you refuse to answer a simple question... no one will hurt you! your bones wont be broken... your children will be safe... i was just curious how many app fans you thought were at the game that is it!!! nothing else... so why dont you just give it a dang number and move on... i am not pressing on with this bc i want a number but bc i think your reasoning to not do so is stupid...xnodx

By definition, name calling is directed at someone and by being directed at someone is a personal attack.

With that said, it's within your power to think whatever you want.

63k at BYU, about 3-4 hundred of them from UNI

UNI brought that many fans to Provo? That's pretty impressive considering the drive and BYU's ranking.

[SkinsWizDukes]

There was actually close to 1,750-2K JMU fans at the Duke game from what I've heard. There were close to 100 students packed in the first 4 rows of one of our sections. I believe there were 250 band members in attendance.

HU vs. Jackson State on a Sunday under the sun in Orlando on a drive back day for the weekend, neutral site, far away from both alumni bases, and broadcast on ESPN2...... 10,000+

[phoenixphanatic21]

10,800 at Elon to see us drubbed by Richmond. Richmond brought a nice crowd of about 1000. Way bigger than the SoCon schools outside of The Citadel, Western and App.

Second largest crowd in Elon history. Second only to that App Game last year on Homecoming weekend.

[SoCon48]

Actually, this series of pictures should tell the story....is it me or am I seeing much more maroon than the App gold?

Where did i say even one word about there being more apps than phoenix?? I just gave the total attendance figures for all Elon home games.
Just talking about the number of Apps...whatever that number might be and the loudness of that contingent.
BTW, App fans normally wear black moreso than gold. Elon posters like to point out when App home game crowds' pics are looked at for red colors that many Elon fans don't wear their colors at some games. I can't even recall what i wore..just that I sat on the second row 50 yard line.
i don't see how anybody outside of Elon fans got a real seat. Tickets for non-Elon fans weren't released until way late. Homecoming or whatever it was was given as the reason. I totally understand that.
Only reason I had a seat was I came with a season ticket holder.
Anybody who says App fans outnumbered Elon fans at Elon's own homecoming is just trying to jerk your chain. Now the first time App played at Elon since Elon joined the conf..may have been close. But very doubtful. Just doesn't happen.

I just wonder how you got the 1000 figure. What's your secret formula?

No, Second largest in Rhodes Stadium, not Elon history. Just to clarify.

12,058 for East Central @ SHSU, great for a Thursday night.

Yep, 12,058 is a good Thursday night turnout. Crowd probably could have been bigger if on a Saturday. Tough for alumni to get to Huntsville during the week, especially since school started the same week for most kids.

Bye week this week, but looking for a great crowd on the 13th against Prarie View. I am sure they will bring a good road crowd since Huntsville is only about an hour and half away. I wouldnt be suprised to see Bowers Stadium full.

Do Classics with that kind of attendance make money? I know Disney sponsored it, but would they do it again if they can only get 10K?

[SoCon48]

Just as I thought.xeyebrowx

We all knew what he meant. Home attendance. Even over-zealous App fans don't count 107,000 or whatever it was) at the Big House as "our" attendance.

[bjtheflamesfan]

WASN'T AWARE OF THAT

Well would love to have you up in Lynchburg should LU and THE (gotta get that in there) Citadel get together for a game. Heck yall can even bring your marching band along. As sorry as I am that you feel the way you do about my school's founder, Im sure if you actually talked to the students and even members of the band like myself, youll find us the nicest people youll ever meet.

That game will be played again, regardless of the attendance, this was the first year the MEAC/SWAC Challenge was played in Orlando, hopefully next year will draw more people. If the attendance is 10K again, it will probably be moved, but I'm not sure how long it will be played in Orlando.

We've had 3 home stadiums. The 13,100 was the largest at Rhodes only.

Pick a different weekend and play it in Atlanta, I'll guarantee the crowd would be 2x as large. Better location for all involved.

Couple of things happening here. First, neither school has a large alumni base in Orlando so one should expect a small crowd.

Second, the event was billed as the best of both conferences so it will go on since TV exposure was more valuable than gate attendance.

Third, Disney is making an effort to keep people in the area when most are usually on their way out of town to get ready for school. Not a big payday for the schools and a negligible outlay for disney makes this palatable for the next two years. After that, all bets are off.

18,099 at Bragg Stadium for FAMU vs. ASU

I agree, ATL is always a good place for a game. xthumbsupx Too bad UCF had a game they maybe could work out a deal to play there.

Implying that the previous facilities' record crowds were larger??? Very interesting. Otherwise "The 13,100 was the largest at Rhodes only" would be superfluos and irrelevant.

Some were, yes. But not since the time when I was attending.

Would love to see those figures of more than 13K before Rhodes. Not mentioned in the Elon media guide. Not doubting your word or memory. It just seems like they would be proud of that.
Was it while they played at Williams High School Kernodle Stadium in Burlington's stadium? I've read where Elon playing at home in the NAIA National Championship game held there had 10K.

[darell1976]

I understand there is no rule for attendance for the FCS but there is for the FBS, is it enforced and has teams moved down because of it??

You won't find it in the media guides now. Outside of the NAIA championships, you won't find much information outside of general stats for pre-DI times. They call it embracing the future or something like that. They apply the same logic to anything before Rhodes stadium as far as attendance and other stadium type records.

But it would have been in Burlington Memorial Stadium, yes. Which was Williams HS Stadium after Elon payed to have it built for use by us and Burlington.

The rule is there but it's enforcement has been lax over the years. Very lax.

We played there once when I was in high school coaching. During Tom Eanes' short era. I recall Tom's father had been a coach at Elon Reminded me of Wingate/Monroe High's shared facility.

The stadium was about the size of our stadium except we may have had slightly more space on our visitors' side.

Padded, given waivers, changed required numbers, formulas involving the rest of the conference, etc etc

Don't think any one has been booted. Perhaps a couple warnings or probations.

My High School stadium was definitely bigger also and built for a better fan experience. But, High Point College built that stadium off campus to bring back football, but never started it and sold it to HP City Schools. I thought it was an incredibly poor design that Burlington Memorial had the posts for the lights between the stands and the track.
