Reasonable Expectations for Wake Attend?

[Trueblue25]

We need a win at FSU. The crowd will likely be weak. Their QB is tiny and inexperience. We absolutely need that win.


Whatd you think attendance for wake will be after a FSU win?

41,500


After an FSU loss?

36,000

You've got reasonable predictions. Low end could swing lower, I think, depending on game time, weather, and type of loss on the 4th (blowout, injuries, etc.). Nooner in the chilly rain would probably set attendance back to where it was in September, unfortunately. And the opponent doesn't help - small school that doesn't travel and has zero appeal to CNYers. Not sure if there's a worse home draw in our league.

Can’t imagine Duke or UNC drawing worse. This sucks. Anyone who’s disconnected would never know the importance of this game or that wake’s actually very solid.

35-36000, either way.

No family weekend. No free ticket give aways? No national champs.

Still some good will from the Clemson game. Maybe that brings a few thousand folks that want to have a good team, but usually stay away.

I think sustained winning is the only thing that brings it back to 40k. It's starting, though.

35-38000 either way. The 5-8000 that came to Clemson will not show and just stay home complaining about something.

I think without a major push to sell tickets, which in any way shape or form will involve lowering the single game price and availability, (actual) attendance will be stuck in the 35k range. Would really like to see a few busloads of GI's from Ft. Drum brought down. Give them a beer and a hot dog and let em rip!

Wake is military appreciation day. There will be plenty of military there.

 

[Trueblue25]

Hope theres hundreds of military personnel in attendance. Thats always very cool.

Oh I'm sorry. I meant [backflips]

Even the fine lot tailgate crew is sponsoring some.

Military could go online and get free tix and other tic holders could go online and buy tix for $20 to be given to military.

 

[RandomGuy]

Bowl team by BC? Without considering Thanksgiving weekend, I'd guess about 40k. Sustained winning against good teams =butts in seats.(Clemson wasn't an upset)

This is spot on. Syracuse did a nice job of getting tickets out into the community for Clemson but that is a one off they do every year or every other year. Those casual fans they got in for Clemson, 90% of them will not return for Wake. A win against FSU would probably give a decent bump but as someone else noted it then comes down to game time, weather etc.

Beat FSU 40 lose 35

ND/Miami will be the abc night game
Va tech/Georgia Tech probably is on abc/espn/2 at 330
FSu/Clemson and NC State/BC i have tentatively set for noon on abc/espn/2 but 1 could slide to accn in place of the other 2 below
Wake/Syracuse and Virginia/Louisville will likely be accn game of week and acc rsn game(3pm)

Thank you for the details bees. That's what I was getting at. Why don't more people know about this? I follow the program pretty closely and this is the first I've heard of the ticket promotions. I can't tell if I'm just clueless or if there is no hope for anyone who is not a bona-fide insider. And I'm grumpy about it.

 

[storange]

The espnu slots are an option
They get second tier games.

I would be shocked if it is anything other than the 12-1230P area

Are you a season ticket holder? I just got another email about it 30 mins ago.

Not a STH, but a donor and I also got an email. Not the first one I have gotten either.
