Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 4208795, member: 5685"] I guess it depends on what one considers close. I believe the official capacity 1991-96 was 50k. Is 45k close (90%)? 47.5k close (95%)? 48.75k (97.5%)? 1991 43,444 (well below capacity) 1992 49,318 (that is close to a sell out) 1993 48,092 (that is over 95% but below 97.5%) 1994 47,746 (just above 95%) 1995 43,276 (well below capacity) 1996 48,177 (over 95% below 97.5%) In the 2000s (21 seasons) we have hit 90% once (2012) and 87.5% one other time (2004). Oddly both of those seasons we only had 5 home games. Edit Looks like SU counted USC as a home game. So scratch 2012. In the 2000s we have hit 87.5% or more just one time. Going down to 44k capacity when you haven't averaged more than 43650 since 1999 doesn't seem like a bad idea. [/QUOTE]
