Brent Axe on available seats for Sat, yikes...

Last 15 rows are all blue to they haven’t been released. Looking at 25 k. But post covid with the restrictions which I understand what would u expect. No way I’m going to get my wife to agree to sit in a dome for 4 hours.
 
Wow the resale tickets on the Rutgers side really exploded.

Same. We have 6 tickets - only going to use 2 of them this weekend. Have two kids who haven’t been vaccinated yet. Will see how situation is and maybe get them to a game later in the year.
 
Stop worrying about attendance, especially in a year like this. Ticket sales are down across the board (in places where people care about COVID).

There's no trophy for ticket sales. Go enjoy the game if you feel safe, and if you don't feel safe watch from home.

Yeah my wife is 7 months pregnant. Under normal circumstances, she would be there on Saturday despite being pregnant, but I'll be surprised if she goes to any games this year.
 
Thats alot of sections in the lower bowl with huge groups up for re-sale. . You expect groups of 10 to not all come but the whole group..

its a little misleading though.. if you look at the endzones where the $125 are being sold.. I know they show section K seats but and nothing above it, but I sit above that so there are seats about the available ones sold. i think they are trying to fill in from below before moving up to show more seats.

Not sure anyone is worrying, I think a lot of people including myself were curious to see what attendance would look like with Covid, the protocols and coming off last year. This gives us some indication of what to expect.

I don’t want to get into a whole big thing over this, but as fans only (not getting into politics), it’s worth worrying about… If you think recruits don’t take notice of this stuff, then I don’t know what to tell you.

I absolutely understand that we are unique in having a Dome, but the optics of our peer schools having full stadiums with fans showing their faces vs what we have going on isn’t the best.

Winning is the ultimate fix though, so if Dino can deliver on that, the optics hopefully don’t matter as much.

Pitt plays in an empty NFL stadium and they recruit fine.

BC plays in an empty stadium and they recruit fine.

Recruits aren’t going to care about attendance in a pandemic.
They want to go where they can get paid either.NIL or get to the next level and get playing time.

If we have 20k at the game so be it. I have 4 season tickets and I go to maybe 1 game a year 2 tops.

1-10 has a way bigger impact than the Covid protocols.

Our offense was offensive last year. If we want to win fans back we need to be decent. If we build it they will come.
I was really impressed with our bowl turnout against WVU was awesome and showed SU football fans are there.

For sure the 1-10 record is definitely playing a major role. I do think if this is any other year (save for 2020) with the win against Ohio your probably looking at least the low 30K for attendance, with COVID concerns and the protocols that's highly unlikely now. As someone noted before this feels more like a 20K game but hopefully we get to at least 25K.

BC had a decent class this year (37), but were 62 last year and 64 the year prior. We’ll see where they shake out this coming year.

Pitt, I’ll give you. They are simply lucky to be located where they are.

Can't be worrying about things you can't control.

Would I rather have a full stadium for every game? Absolutely.

Is there still a great atmosphere with 20-30k at the Dome? Absolutely.

Normally, yeah. Coming off a pandemic - no.
 
Empty dome does hurt recruiting in my opinion but what can you do about it? Playing in a dome in an area of the country that doesn't want a surge works against us... But it's the reality of the situation and I guess you try to make the best of it... Those that feel comfortable I hope have a great time and make a lot of noise... Those that don't I understand...
 
If there isn’t an understanding from everyone as to why the attendance isn’t what it could be, then you need to look up common sense in the dictionary. The people that will be there will make some noise no doubt. Cuse by a million
 
Attendance this year should not be the normal conversations, IMO. Not even close. Very few casual fans will even consider coming in this year. Suppose to be nice Saturday and I barely want to go because of covid stuff. Like I said, we will be tailgating and I expect a group of 7-8 meatheads and I fully expect about 4 of us to actually go into the game and yes I will be one
