Notre Dame brought more. Tennessee brought way, way more. But Clemson had a very fine showing. 2,500 to 3,500, I'd say. Didn't even sell to the top of he 300 deck in the visiting section. Only matched by West Virginia from the old Big East, however. Impressive considering the distance. And they were loud.
And every one I talked to was civil. Hope they win it all.
That's about it. Tennessee had 7-8k and they stretched all around the 3rd deck from corner to corner along with a few sections in the lower level. Clemson did great but it was about 2500 based on the number of sections they had.
Well, we sold 2,700 just through the school alone. I was in section 320 and we probably had 75 fans just in that section alone. Not sure we had 5k there but definitely more than 4k.
You sold 2550 and you didn't have close to another 1500 in other sections. Sorry, I know what each section holds.
Lol. Whatever. I'll let you console yourself with this delusion. Good luck to you all next week.You sold 2550 and you didn't have close to another 1500 in other sections. Sorry, I know what each section holds.

I'm not consoling myself. But I do know what each section holds. It's laughable that someone thinks they can estimate a crowd better than someone that has been there for 30+ years and knows what the really big crowds look like. I know you want to think you travel like a Tennessee or PedSt but you don't.

As a number of us have stated here and elsewhere, Clemson brought more fans than anyone in the old Big East other than WVU ... All the way from South Carolina. Well done.
But you've got to understand that we've been coming to the Dome week in and week out for 30+ years. Tennessee by far and away brought more away fans than anyone. Imagine the entire end zone top to bottom. Think creamsicle orange of biblical proportions. And that was about 7,000. I missed the last Penn State game (thankfully) and can't comment on that. And Notre Dame filled the visiting section to the top. I know since I pilfered two ND tickets just to get into the Dome and sat three rows from the top.
You had more than 2,500 but less than 3,500. We're glad you came and hope you come back in two years.
I know it wasn't much of a game, but we gave it our best. I'm curious of what you thought of the Dome after your first trip?
I thought it was a very interesting place. I didn't realize just how packed we were going to be in there. Not a whole lot of wiggle room I thought it was loud, but I expected it to be loud during all the downs, not just the 3rd downs. I was also disappointed to see a lot of aluminum in the 3rd quarter. The Cuse was putting up a fight and a lot can happen in a quarter. Overall, I thought it was a neat place. It reminded me of a pro game in some respects because of things like the t shirt cannons, the kiss cam and the "seat upgrade" thing. Not a bad thing, just not something I've seen in many college football games. I have seen things like that at the Dayton Flyer basketball games, so maybe it was more like that. I plan on making the trip back in a couple of years and hope the weather is better that day for tailgating. I was planning on making it out to the Fine Mess tailgate, but alas the rain drove me and my family into the Dome as soon as it opened at 1:30.
