GSU Wofford 17,958 and a half. (I took the neighbors' mildly retarded kid.);)

[mainejeff]

Maine & "Nova should be shot, combined they didn't bring in an announced 10K.

Maine was in the middle of a monsoon and preparing for a tropical storm to hit the state douchebag.

At least we didn't cancel the game like William & Mary did a few years ago.

Impressive showing in Boone.

[McNeese75]

Well, since they ran off Carl Dubois I wouldn't trust much of what they write xlolx

xcoffeex

Hey now! It was a full on hurricane! Let's retroactively cancel and refuse to reschedule.

[neersnbeers]

Wouldv never known there was 28000+ at KBS. Thought I heard crickets in the old folks section (212). A lot of money to pay to sit on your hands.

D@mn slick, harsh words. So you had alittle rain; nothing like UMass/URI or the W/M floodxeyebrowx Face it, you're a frustrated football fan at a hockey schoolxnodx xcoffeex See you in a couple weeksxwhistlex

To be fair it was family weekend. Students who have their families come up aren't near as rowdy, and the families of the students aren't your regular game attendees so they were all pulling for App but they just weren't very vocal. Not to mention when you are struggling that bad against PC its pretty damn hard for a lot of people to get excited. My section was loud throughout, but I certainly understand the overall silence yesterday. Next week will be LOUD, homecoming and a big SoCon battle. Old farts will need to bring their earplugs.xthumbsupx

[DaBigBlue]

3,241 fans Saturday night in ODU's first public scrimmage.

PVAM v. Morehouse (Farmer’s Angel City Classic)
ATTENDANCE: 52,487(56%) at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum,
Los Angeles, CA (Capacity: 93,607)

This is huge. There is no HBCU within 1,000 miles of LA. I think this Classic has the makings of a big one.

[andy7171]

Columbia-Towson had 5,030 show up in a downpour. Halfway through the 1st quarter lightening hit the hospital across the street from Unitas Stadium, twice. Game was delayed, about 500 fans came back for the rest of the game. xsmhx xsmhx

[appfan2008]

Impressive showing in Boone.

Are you kidding???

I was very disappointed in the crowd this week... I sit on the east side upper deck and there were large holes on the west side upper and plenty of empty seats around me... I know it was raining and there are parts of this state with literally no gas (including boone) but that was embarrasing... ASU announced a sellout earlier in the week and back in the summer announced every seat had been sold for every game but damn people where the hell are you???

[PhoenixPhan06]

11,149 fans out of a capacity 13,100 in Rhodes Stadium to welcome new SoCon member Samford. Second largest crowd in stadium history and second time this year in three home games with attendance over 10,000. Another sign that we're movin' on up!

Some great attendances this week... especially the Classic in LA. xthumbsupx

These two were noteworthy... what is Traz Powell Stadium... a high school??

Maybe HBCU's vs. PWC's aren't a very good idea after all. 2k? xsmhx

[PhoenixPhan06]

Not quite KBS worthy, but we're getting there! xthumbsupx xthumbsupx

[Ivytalk]

5,618 for Brown-Harvard in the rain

I think we would have had 10,000 if it was sunny out, 19,000 showed up for last year's game in Cambridge.

Just curious: when was the last time that Brown drew 10,000 at home for any opponent?

Traz Powell is used by High Schools.

[89Hen]

Traz Powell is used by High Schools.
I just really don't understand the Classics. Some get GINORMOUS numbers, other seem like they should have never been played. xconfusedx

[813Jag]

Like a lot of things it boils down to location and the teams. That game in Miami would draw well with a Florida school. People would may have attended that game were in Atlanta for the FAMU/TSU game.

It was in the rain... against a nonconference opponent without the name recognition...

I believe it was our 3rd largest attendance all-time. Not bad imo.

It was quiet, though. But that's not reflected in the attendance figures. xpeacex

if you buy a ticket you should be there...

[GeauxLions94]

5,216 vs. North Dakota ... had people in some of the suites watching the LSU-Mississippi State game on TV ... damn LSU!

Acutally I think that capacity is listed at 11,250.......still a good crowd....

[ElonPride]

Maybe HBCU's vs. PWC's aren't a very good idea after all. 2k? xsmhx

The Elon/NC A&T used to draw MUCH larger crowds than that......somehwat of a rivalry with the schools only being 20 minutes apart though.....

[MoreheadEagle]

MSU hosting St. Francis attendance = 5,783. Good attendance especially since SFU brought maybe 4 people.

[Hoyadestroya85]

Maine & "Nova should be shot, combined they didn't bring in an announced 10K.

maybe it's because there's actually something to do in our area.. in delaware all you can do is buy cheap liquor

[appfan2008]

do you think those 2 schools will meet again anytime soon?

GMAFB. What are you guys, like 30 miles away? Is there some huge attraction on the Blue Route that I don't know about?xrotatehx

[PhoenixPhan06]

Acutally I think that capacity is listed at 11,250.......still a good crowd....

Capacity for the actual seats may be 11,250 but when you factor in the grass seating, its 13,100. The App State game last year was the first sell out and attendance was listed at 13,100. That doesn't include the 100 or so fans who sat outside the fence and looked in.

[YaleFootballFan]

13,142 for Yale/Cornell in Ithaca.

Besides the fact that there really is nothing to do in Delaware besides Nascar and UD football, woe is the football fan at a basketball school.

[CSUBUCDAD]

2541 for the Bucs vs Crusaders. Should have a much bigger crowd this week for GW.

[Sycamore51]

5,283 in Terre Haute to watch the Syc's lose a close one. Maybe this week!

[ElonPride]

I would like to see the series start back. It would receive a lot of local hype....

The series ended up 4-4 before A&T replaced us on the schedule......

Unofrtunately, I haven't heard any rumors about a future series.

I agree that a renewal of this rivalry would create a lot of buzz in the triad area. Some of my fondest memories as an undergrad at Elon football games were the two games we played A&T and were absolutely thrilled by the band. The football game itself was secondary since both teams had the talent of a good high school team.

The only problem with the continuation from Elon's standpoint is that we're focusing on building our football program and we're trying to do that by having a complete schedule of FCS and occasionally FBS opponents.

In 2009, we hope to start a new rivalry by playing at Wake Forest. As a fan, I would much rather see this rivalry develop and grow over the years than to rekindle the series between A&T. Both are private schools in the Triad, recruit in the same areas within NC, and have great coaches capable of doing a lot with a little. Not to mention the six figure payout that we would get :D :D as opposed to playing A&T.

In no way am I suggesting that we never play A&T again or that we would get nothing out of a game or series in the future, but at this point, our focus is on building a great football team and that has to start with playing better opponents and showing the country that we can compete with the best in the FCS!

Wake Forest. One piece of advice. Don't screw it up and beat them regularly. Otherwise, they'll never play you guys again. But, at least they'll admit to avoiding you.
