Week Two Attendance

[VBR_Productions]

In Baltimore there were 7,696 people in the stands to witness Towson's first conference win since October 2009. http://www.towsontigers.com/ViewContent.dbml?SPSID=101455&SPID=12497&DB_LANG=C&DB_OEM_ID=21300&CONTENT_ID=160505

Old Dominion defeated Georgia State in front of an announced crowd of 11,701. However the AJC's Georgia State beat writer reported "there seemed to be far fewer people present. (http://www.ajc.com/sports/georgia-state/gsu-notes-schlechter-says-1168120.html)"

[DJKyR0]

18,341 on hand in Fargo tonight. Probably a few hundred of those weren't butts-in-seats, though.

[I-16Bandit]

21,812 to witness Georgia Southern throw a beat down on Tusculum.

[BucBisonAtLarge]

Despite much of the lower campus recovering from the flooding of the West Branch of the Susquehanna on Wednesday thru Friday, 3244 watched as Bucknell defeated Marist, 28-14.

[BlueHenSinfonian]

Just shy of the magical 20,000 mark with 19,593 coming out to see Delaware vs. Westchester.

[SideLine Shooter]

Over 26,000 for ASU Home opener. WHere was everybody? It was a beautiful day in Boone.

[whitey]

25,102 at Bridgeforth.

[Milktruck74]

12,800+ at Chattanooga, it sure looked like more.

18,341 on hand in Fargo tonight. Probably a few hundred of those weren't butts-in-seats, though.

Thats a lot for just seeing St. Francis. Just shows that football is king in Fargo...well that and there is nothing else to do on a late Saturday afternoon.;)

[darell1976]

10,608 to watch UND play AT Idaho. They had 12,173 vs Bowling Green. How are they going to make the 15,000 attendance requirement especially with Boise State no longer in the WAC?

[ngineer]

Only 7800 or so at Goodman to see a tremendous game. The pregame predicitions of afternoon thunderstorms may have kept some in their hovels to watch on TV, but the turnout is still embarrassing. It is clear to me the culture at the PL schools has changed dramatically over the past 20 years with at least half the student bodies not giving a flip over attending athletic events. This game, 12 years ago would have had 10-12,000 easily.

[The Eagle's Cliff]

21,812 to witness Georgia Southern throw a beat down on Tusculum.

That's the "butts in seats count" Apply the Mountain Math formula: Student Enrollment + season tickets, full boxes, and single-game tickets and we could announce 33Kxshhhx

[cruyf]

Just shy of the magical 20,000 mark with 19,593 coming out to see Delaware vs. Westchester.

And then half of those left at half time due to the lightning storm scare.

... or you could just get that many fans to show up. ASU has never announced 33K, the high point was 31.5K against Elon last year and there were 31.5K butts in the seats. Come to Boone on October 29 and you can count for yourself, there may be a new record set.

[DSUrocks07]

1,600 in Dover to see the 4th Quarter comeback by the Hornets against Shaw (D2).

[1andDone]

18100 on hand for USA's 30-8 win over Lamar

[Bobcat in NC]

Record crowd of 18,487 in Bozeman to watch MSU thump UC Davis. xsmileyclapx

[mad_dog97]

25,102 at Bridgeforth.

[citdog]

14,095 in General Johnson Hagood, CSA, Stadium for The Citadel vs vermin.

[JSUBison]

The year to date stats so far: http://web1.ncaa.org/mfb/2011/Internet/attendance/FCS_AVGATTENDANCE.pdf

Most likely to be a two horse race again this year between Montana/ASU, but overall the top 25 is looking pretty good. All 10000+ except #25 Bethune.

[gasoutherneagle]

I was most impressed that most of that 21,812 stayed through the whole game. There was a time when half the crowd bailed, for second half tailgatiing in the parking lot, the minute GSU went up by three scores. The students came in force, packing the student section, spilling over into the grass and filling the empty visitors section (loud and proud)!

[dgtw]

12,800+ at Chattanooga, it sure looked like more.

I was sitting on the Jax State side and it looked pretty full across the way. Really hard to say how full it was on my side.

[eiu1999]

28K at Northwestern/EIU

[ur2k]

8700 at Richmond. That's a sell-out.

[VBR_Productions]

http://www.jmusports.com/pics32/1024/XE/XEECMRUTOHNZMQR.20110911054441.jpg

That's an impressive picture - kudos to the administration and construction crew for making it happen.

[nccuque82]

Tenn State V Jackson State in Memphis 43,000 plus.

I'll be there. I haven't missed a GSU game in Boone since before 2001. 2009 was a pretty impressive crowd announced at 26,215. 2007 was announced 28,202. I won't argue too much with the 2009 number, but there's no way there were 28K in 2007 before the stadium expansion. That 5K-6K exaggeration in 2007 has made me distrustful of Mountain Math.

If I sound jealous, it's because I am. We should start reporting our attendance that way to force the state to kick in for the stadium expansion planned in 2014.

You think we count all 17k students as attending every game. xconfusedx xlolx

True..believe it or not there are a ton of tree-huggin hippies at ASU that could give 2 *****s about football.

[asumike83]

2007 was announced 28,202.

To my knowledge, ASU and Georgia Southern did not play in 2007. Right?

[AppMan]

Over 26,000 for ASU Home opener. WHere was everybody? It was a beautiful day in Boone.

Sooner or later the PTB are going to realize people have had enough of these types of games. Especially in this economy.

A guy who's school has been claiming 18,000 seating capacity when their stadium actually seats around 14,000 has no business talking about someone else playing with the figures.

[TheRevSFA]

8741 looked about right for ours....the home side was pretty full...but the visitors side there wasn't much outside of the lower level.

[Sly Fox]

A disappointing 15,805 at Williams Stadium in Lynchburg.

http://www.liberty.edu/archives/public/photos/3740909_20110910AT__3.jpg

But we expect substantially more this weekend with the Dukes coming to town.

[The Eagle's Cliff]

You think we count all 17k students as attending every game. xconfusedx xlolx

In 2007, the enrollment was more like 14K. I'm going by the 3 accepted methods of attendance reporting as outlined by the NCAA. I've seen Paulson with 29K at a championship game and there's no way KBS had 28K in 2007. Counting students and tickets sold is the only plausible explanation for that number.


To my knowledge, ASU and Georgia Southern did not play in 2007. Right?

That was the year Jayson Foster and the rest of the Eagles ended your home winning streak a few weeks after you beat Michigan.


Typical!!!

I don't know what you mean by that.

True we have 14,500 "seats". I believe the 18,000 number comes from counting the hills. The 1989 National Championship game vs. Stephen F Austin was over 29K with extra bleachers and full hills.

I've given kudos to App for the improvements at KBS and freely admit their current #1 status (maybe JMU now) in FCS for attendance and gameday atmosphere, but anyone present in 2007 knows that 28K number is BS.

[Skjellyfetti]

Counting all enrolled students is not a method of attendance reporting as outlined by the NCAA.

Wooooooosh. xlolx

Your sense of humor is as bad as your jealousy.

Obviously not. xlolx

[nccuque82]

Howard v Morehouse 18409

[eaglewraith]

To my knowledge, ASU and Georgia Southern did not play in 2007. Right?

If you forget about 2009, I'll forget about 2007 ;)

[813Jag]

9,020 not a good turnout for the Southern home opener. Hopefully a bigger number will be had for the Jackson State game.

[Smitty]

Before halftime 7789
After halftime maybe 2500?

[asumike83]

No no no, that was 2009 I have the 2007 game on DVD, come on over and we'll watch it together, i'll buy the beer :D

Deal. For the safety of your home, you may want to make sure those are cans, not bottles!


If you forget about 2009, I'll forget about 2007 ;)

Throw in 2010 and you've got yourself a deal.

[Sycamore51]

7,128 in Terre Haute to watch the Sycamores beat Butler.

[eaglewraith]

Throw in 2010 and you've got yourself a deal.

Sorry, 1 for 1 only.

How 'bout: 1999? xrolleyesx
