For those of you obsessed with attendance

[rocklloyd]

And tanked. Don’t forget tanked.

And barely dressed.

And barely dressed.

Only thing that brings me back.

Ugh 30 minutes to go. Place is dead…hope it picks up!!

 

[PhatOrange]

Wow the crowd is embarrassing. Students have come out and are LOUD. Hats off to the students. too bad they didn’t have the townies behind them…darn shame

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Good crowd overall IMO. Should be loud.

agreed. Looks fine

Big hand to those in attendance. Def a loud crowd and a difference Maker. The recruits that were there had to love it

Nah, the crowd was decent.

Allow me to help you all break this down:

About 2500-3000 season tickets are shown as available online (as we know, there's more than that)
3 game plans and 2 game plans are also still available. Still unknown as how many remain, but I would wager about 500 of those plans are spread out amongst the sections

Call it 3500 open seats thus far

Group tickets will be withheld from any maps (typically higher up in sections) as seen below, I highly doubt these are all sold (section 303-302)
View attachment 219176

I would wager for the Louisville game there are still about 5k group-coded seats still hidden

Up to 8500 seats.

Now looking further at the ticketmaster map (without resell tix) and it's obviously ugly. I am not going to sit and count all those seats, but this number could be anywhere from 9 to 12k.

Let's call it 10,500.

19,000 seats are open in my estimates.

roughly 30,262 seats are "taken" (Game 1 Attendance)

But now you have to hope all those people reselling either sell or come, all the students show up, and the walk up tickets pick up a bit (doubtful there)

All in all - I am going to wager that ACTUAL attendance = 28,500 and the announced attendance is 34,195

I was gladly well off. A lot moved the final week+ which is great, but SU needs to get off their hands more often - it’s clear what a good crowd can do.

Butts in seats = 36k & change.

[upperdeck]

crowd was fine.. if we ever get 45K in there again it will rock. Win next week and purdue might be a solid crowd.

 

[storange]

Great Crowd, everyone in my section was engaged from the get go . Loud !!!!!

 

[Tango32]

Student section should be commended, they were great

 

[PhatOrange]

Nah, the crowd was decent.

No it wasn’t. Maybe 30k actual. I could have sat anywhere I wanted in the top deck.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Purdue should be a few more than tonight. UVA, NC State, and ND could all be 'great' crowds if we keep winning. Wagner won't be that bad for Wagner but that one doesn't really matter. I think the team is going to get a huge boost this year from the fans in our home games.

 

[SuFTW]

Yes it was a good crowd coming off 3 losing seasons. The lower level was mostly filled and upper more than half. 37,000. More than people would have guessed and more than 30k.

 

[zjscuse]

It was around 27k realistically tonight. I brought along a new convertee and I made it clear don’t expect a packed house. With that said that was one of the best crowds iv been apart of at the dome. Clemson sold out was insane and gave me a glimpse of what could be and the Finley dungey game was quite rowdy but I don’t remember anything like that. There was a unison chant at one point. Everyone was going absolutely nuts! We made Louisville use a timeout with not even half capacity crowd! If they start making more believers this year it’s gonna be absolutely insane at the loud house .

I agree. Think there were under 30,000 in the building but crowd was amped up and certainly involved.

 

[Jake]

Definitely 28-30k actually fannies in seats. Pretty loud though. The new dome holds the sound in better. Still not close to as loud as it’s been. Those there were into it.

Students were fantastic.

One minor quibble. We gotta be louder on first and second down. We know to get loud on 3rd. Sat on our hands too much.

Really bad post. I don’t care about numbers. That was as loud as I’ve heard it in there since Freeney days. I give credit to the students for fueling the fire but EVERYBODY in there played a role last night. I don’t know what building you were in.

Preach.

 

[upperdeck]

Are we really thinking 7-10k of people bought tickets and didnt show up? 1/3 of the people wasted their money? the upper deck was around 40-50% in many places and the lower deck was like 80-90% full. people spread out for sure. But i had people move to sit in my area that is almost always empty.

 

[Trueblue25]

Consigliere was right imo. I think 33k legit in the seats but he was on the money for announced

To me it was shockingly loud for the crowd #s. It wasn’t Miami in the 90s loud , but I was yelling as loud as I could and could barely hear myself .
