Week 6 Attendance

[superman7515]

Still can't get the enthusiasm in Delaware. 19,523 in attendance for #2 (or #1 depending on the poll) Delaware vs Maine. Next weekend is Parents Day and there's still the rivalry game with Nova. Hopefully we can turn this thing around.

[clintc]

31,531 at Kidd Brewer for ASU Homecoming vs ELON... Really thought we could top 35k but think the Fire Marshall is gettting nervous as the crowds get bigger.................

[CopperCat]

15,227 for PSU at MSU. Fifth largest crowd in stadium history for a non-Cat-griz game.

[UAalum72]

6,624 at Albany Homecoming. Largest attendance ever for Albany football in the 40+ years of University Field (except for 1975 vs. Ithaca, where attendance was listed as "7,500"; I don't think they actually sold tickets)

[UNH Fanboi]

12,000+ in Durham for UNH's homecoming. Pretty good number for us.

this is why i am an advocate of playing important games on homecoming, team usually comes in pumped up with the big crowd and plays well. not a fan of scheduling a cupcake for homecoming.

Same with Black Saturday. Though, that really sucks that that's the Halloween game

[Sader87]

4,973 at Fitton today as CMass continues to "yawn" at non-scholarship football.

[darell1976]

10,215 for the Homecoming game at the Alerus Center to watch the Sioux lose to SUU.

[eaglemachine]

21,403 at Paulson in Statesboro

19,523 isn't quite capacity, but it's not doing too bad, the crowds seem to be hanging around that range so far this year, and we still have Parents Weekend and Villanova as you say, plus Homecoming. I think either UMass or JMU would have drawn a bigger crowd, but maybe some impending championship buzz will help.

Plus, from what I read from another poster, Biden was in attendance. No one else can say they had the second most powerful man in the country in attendance today.

[Seawolf97]

StonyBrook attendance 7432 for a Homecoming win over VMI SBU 27 VMI 9. StonyBrook defense held VMI to 8 yards NET rushing.

[houtexan]

17,306 for Lamar Homecoming win over Langston.

[Green Laser]

9,011 At Sac State for Northern Colorado.

[Humble Steward]

Snapping a four-game homecoming losing streak in front of a season-high crowd of 10,151, the Wildcats improved to 5-0 (3-0 conference) for the fifth time in school history and set the stage for a crucial Mid-Eastern Athletic conference showdown with South Carolina State next week.

[panama]

14,908 @ Ga Dome for Savannah State.

Pleasantly surprised given SSU is horrible and that Georgia Tech (Homecoming) and Georgia both had home games.

GSU 55 SSU 21

[VBR_Productions]

Old Dominion continued its streak of sold-out games with 19,782 in attendance. Cal-Poly's option was too much for the Monarchs as they leave Norfolk with a 50-37 win. http://www.odusports.com/sports/m-footbl/stats/2010-2011/oducp109.html

[ngineer]

5,173 to see Lehigh beat Fordham...Students on semester break.

[DFW HOYA]

1,582, Wagner at Georgetown. Smallest crowd for a game in October in five years.

[Libertyfan82]

18,587 saw Liberty defeat Charleston Southern 44-20 on homecoming.

[Squealofthepig]

Announced attendance today at Montana vs. Idaho State was 25,568.

Kudos to App both for a huge crowd and a tough win!

[seantaylor]

Georgia Southern had at least 25K, but our loser AD won't announce the actual attendance due to pressure to expand.

[SalukiJim]

13,356 at Carbondale to see SIU beat UNI. New stadium continues to draw 'em in...

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Good game on FCS.

Can your new stadium be expanded if SIU makes the move up to FBS?

Looked like there could be expansion around the endzones with seats extended from the sidelines.

[danefan]

6624 at Albany. Division I attendance record for us.

That's about 300% over the capacity of the seats that can actually see the whole game.

[ngineer]

1,582, Wagner at Georgetown. Smallest crowd for a game in October in five years.

Students on semester break like ours? I know the schedules are made out years in advance, but one would think they'd try and schedule an away game during that break.

[aggie6thman]

10,352 in the stands to watch UC Davis beat South Dakota 17-13. Student section was full and it was Homecoming,

[jlandrus23]

Indiana State celebrated homecoming with a crowd of 8,294. Indiana State won 59-24 over Illinois State.

If you could only spell ridiculous. Or have a grasp of numbers, spacial distribution, and just having a clue in general. Maybe if we close the 14,000 seats behind the end zones and cram all the people behind the player benches, Southern fans would get a clue, but who am I kidding here. They rather live in denial. It's much more comforting, especially after that Wofford loss.

Good Luck on Week 7 folks.

Expand what? You just did a study that showed Paulson County middle school has better financial resources to expand than Southern.

[panama]

Can the alumni get him fired. If he isnt doing what's in the best interests the university (i.e. students and alumni) he needs to go. He reminds me of some of our former administration members.

That would be what they are used to seeing in the SoCon.

I pity the fool that takes us back to FBS. Those were the days (1970's) when 2 wins was a GOOD season! But the stadium could probably be expanded another 5-10K if needed.

[Ivytalk]

11,434 saw Harvard beat Cornell, 31-17, on beautiful day in Cambridge. IIRC, this game drew about 14K two years ago.xeyebrowx

Updated attendance numbers.

[KiddBrewer]

"Black Saturday" is always the home game in which the schedule tells us we are playing Georgia Southern or Furman, no?

[bjtheflamesfan]

18,587 for homecoming at Liberty University and the open of the race to the Big South autobid vs Charleston Southern

[JMUNJ08]

9,049 for JMU @ Towson...Not too bad for a 1-4 home team and JMU fans traveling to Baltimore!

Losing by 2 to a top 25 Wofford team is no shame. Losing to a Lambuth however... As long as we are correcting simple typo mistakes, you need to join several of your sentences and end your questions with a "?".

Not sure, only been following them since I started here in 06. Looks to be that way though since I've been here but I hadn't really noticed. I get amped regardless of who we play

[Twentysix]

10,215 for the Homecoming game at the Alerus Center to watch the Sioux lose to SUU.

You lost? Dang. Looked good while i was watching. Granted i only saw your game after important SIU/UNI plays and when YSU v NDSU was on commercial. Ill admit i forgot after the first quarter to flip back. :(

No way Kidd Brewer can hold 35k. That crowd Saturday was near the capacity. The people standing at the top of the grass were piled in at least 7 or 8 deep. If this is going to be the norm, expansion is necessary.

The hill was border line unsafe... Expansion in the north endzone is the way to go...

Pure unadulterated blind ignorance. You sound like a State fan or something...

Dr. Keel (Sam's boss' boss) has addressed this subject NUMEROUS times. He knows and realizes that we need to expand.

[WileECoyote06]

NCCU vs Hampton 8791; 88% of capacity this game. NCCU continues to run over 100% capacity for the year. It's amazing because our coaching staff is the most frustrating in the history of FCS football.

And next week will sell out as well with Bethune-Cookman bringing their 350 piece band and it being open house. Then homecoming will sell 15K. Then I expect attendance at our lone November home game against ODU to be horrible unless they bring some people.

Good for you guys. xsmileyclapx I think Rison will eventually get the Eagles moving in the right direction. xnodx

ha youre telling me.....i started off standing at the top border of the fully packed hill. then, found myself with my group of what seemed to be 60 peoplexchinscratchx packed underneath the steps going up to the upper deck. if felt like we were hiding underneath an overpass as a tornado went through for about 2.5 quarters.

this week, the 6pm start should help me get a seat earlierxnodx. im not used to this no-seat jazzxnottalkingx

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

12,000+ in Durham for UNH's homecoming. Pretty good number for us.

And probably another 12K out in Boulder Field tailgating during the 1st Half!! xrotatehx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx

[WileECoyote06]

He's had four years. We are sick of the under utilization of our talent. If he makes it through this season, I'd be surprised.

Sure thing, Rush. All is on the up and up. I've only heard Keel mention once the need to expand. Still doesn't keep Sammy from being a robot. If Keel had an self respect, Sammy would have been fired last year.

night games always draw well in the high country should be another packed house!

Keel wasn't even in Statesboro last year, Soetoro Jr.

[KiddBrewer]

yea, you are correct. but hopefully i will have spent enough time at what is sure to be an awesome tailgate that I will be comfortable with leaving it to go into the game earlier:)

speaking of which, any app people heard anything about any changes to the times tailgating lots on campus will open this week? same? later?

[Edge316007]

I would assume we'll hear something in a day or two.

The hill on the student side entrance had plenty of room. Not the greatest view, but it's "safer". Definitely agree on expansion though

I hope same but something tells me they may back it up a few hours... just a hunch

[biggie]

Probably open gates 11am or noon I would guess. Only reason I like parking in a private lot, I should be up by 10am, long day of tailgating that's for sure. We did 9am to 7pm for the Halloween '08 game though.

[Edge316007]

Got an e-mail stating that all cars need to be out of lots by 9AM Saturday, which is 2 hours later than usual I believe. Take that for what it's worth

[Mikeyosef]

Moving on to Week 7 Attendance, App is already sold out, currently only selling grass seats and those...so I hear, are going to be gone soon. If we weren't at max capacity last week, I expect we will be for the night game. GO APP!

[Edge316007]

2PM is what I'm hearing to start tailgating

[KiddBrewer]

2PM is what I'm hearing to start tailgating

no way that can be right, can it? thatd be like opening the lots at 11:30 for a normal gameday.....

haha might be strategic, the longer the tailgate time the drunker the students get, which raises the likelihood of an "unfortunate situation" in an stadium that is already over capacity. I remember the couple noon playoff games we had the whole stadium was stone sober....(for the most part anyway)

If I remember correctly, for previous night games we were allowed to be out at the tailgate but they had officers walking around telling people no drinking until noon. That happened to us while in Raley a couple years back.
