When Wildhack says that we "will" set a new attendance record on Saturday, that has to mean that the Dome counts tickets and not ticket scans. That should put an end to the long running debate on here about how we calculate attendance. I mean, are we really assuming that there won't be no-shows? At least one of those 35K-plus will have a medical emergency or last minute work or something.
The last 35,446 game was very disingenuous. 2015.. the year of the postseason ban. Thousands of tickets on stubhub were going for a few dollars on gameday. It was not a "full" house.

also - the big 1 off for a center court game (that cant be an acc opp) has an easy choice.

2014 was 35,446 (legit.. the OT win)Wrong year. We set the record the first Duke game in 2014.
same thing for Gerry's senior day vs Nova which broke the record as well. the student section upperdeck was 75% empty until locals (syracuse and scranton locals both included) moved from nose bleeds over.
Hopefully the Dome's retractable roof will be open for this game. And hopefully not too many people get stuck in traffic in the I-81 tunnel or waiting for the gondola from the fairgrounds.
