43,101 LSU attendance

[tipphill]

there were a ton of LSU fans sitting in seats that SU fans resold. but Pitt/BC will bring a few hundred like they always do.

legit ? how well do we travel to bc and pitt--i've never gone

Herbstreit made a joke that half the dome would be LSU. That would be 21,000. Of course he's full of BS. There were 8,000 LSU out of 43,000. He's become a smug cokkzucker in the last year or so.

in the last year??? that a low ball figure

 

[KaiserUEO]

Anyone who thinks there were 15,000 LSU fans there is :crazy:

im not saying there was.

im just asking why did another 7k Syracuse fans wear purple?

but lets not get hung up on stoopid shlit like this, the team played their arse off on saturday.

 

[upperdeck]

there were not 15K. they filled a corner and then another high section and random spots. 5-7 sounds about right

I think there were more casual SU fans than usual. LSU represented well but it was not the take over their fan base had hyped. My lot is usually empty and was full 3 hours before game time with very few LSU fans. Watching SU fans with parking passes not being able to get into what I'm assuming is their lot was fun.

After reading your comments in the Ron Thompson thread, I don't think anyone can take what you've seen as credible.

lets what for 6 months.. then i can apologize for not seeing what everyone else does.

Absolutely not a chance there were even 10 k. Im 100 percent sure. This 15 k crap is. just good old fashioned cny negative bs. All u had to do is listen for heck sake. If there were 15 k for LSU it would have been almost as loud on our 3rd downs. It wasnt

Why was that fun?

The people saying 15k or anywhere close are ones that weren't even there.

 

[rrlbees]

That is what I said.

I read it as we had near sellouts until Robinson. Guess you didn't mean that.

Exactly. They had one corner full, which probably equals around 4,000 seats. They also had probably another 500 in the upper corner of the opposite endzone and a decent smattering on the LSU side of the field. Probably another 1,000-1,500 or so there. Impressive showing, but the idea that there were even more than 10,000 is laughable.

 

[rrlbees]

I wonder what's up with the Pitt game. There aren't any seats available in the last 12 rows of the upper deck sideline and corners. There's also 2 whole sections in 305-307 blocked out.

Don't they always not make those tickets available unless the ones in front of them sell out? Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe 305-307 is always blacked out, since it's allegedly overflow for the student section.

 

[Newhouser]

Tongue in cheek. Those who paid for parking passes were not happy that there were no spots on what most likely will be the only game they need the pass for. The woman who collected the money from those without a pass didn't seem too concerned however.

i'm going with 8k. 40k actual people, 20% of the crowd.

I think you are correct

 

[rrlbees]

That would be my guess, 8k. Maybe a tad less. As to actual people it was 43,100 as announced.

Agree. The main away corner probably had at least 5k. But then they had the other upper corner. And then where you noticed the most was when their defenders started asking their crowd to make noise, seemed like a lot of people mixed into those sideline seats down low behind their bench.

Sure didn't seem like 6,000 extra seats.

Semantics tho. 6-8K people for a top ten team 4-5 hours from Large metropolitan areas makes sense. Nowhere near 15 or 21K

I don't think so. The ones that aren't available are the cheaper ones up top that are non-preferred. They're always available. And the overflow student section is another section over.

Tarping them off - LOL

People spread out.

305-307 is pretty much empty for every game, so I'm assuming it's always blocked off and I also assumed that was student section overflow that (predictably) never fills with students.
