Any ideas what attendance will be Saturday? I'm going with no rain 28,000 rain 24,000.

25,000 regardless. First home game. Go Apps!

Night game and FBS home opener. 29,472

27,265

If anyone wants to do the attendance thread this year, go ahead. I am too busy to commit to it this year.

Larger turn out than GaState had for their home opener.

28052 - 56 for the Gastonia folks.

I'll say somewhere around 27,000.

Night games in Boone are awesome. I will go with 28659.

Why in the world is this a night game? Won't w have plenty of those now that we're in the Belt. I like the occasional night game mind you, but I also love those fall Saturday afternoon games!

If the weather is anything like this past weekend after just finishing playing in front of a true national television audience and 109,000 fans, anything less than 30,000 should quieten the "enlarge the stadium to 40,000" fanatics, even if it is versus a start-up football program.
25,000 would be an embarrassment beyond the Ann Arbor drubbing.
We are supposed to be "big-time" now; there is really no excuse for less than 30,000 other than drenching rain or a Boone blizzard.
Heck we pulled in circa 30K when we were still playing what some on here called JV SmallCon football.

27K but it will look more like 23K. One good thing, hopefully the halftime leavers will have their Woodlands before the game and we can skip that thread this week.

Paid attendance 27,000 actual 21,000

Cline will really think KBS is too big if we have a rainy game against Campbell.

Nice editorial....

Did I accidentally log onto AppFan again?

But, I'm thinking around 28,608.

Wrong. I covered that when I said "other than a drenching rain."

Reading is fundamental.

No woe here.

Was looking at their two-deep, forgot Millhouse transferred there.

Why do they not provide scholarships?

FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON EXCITEMENT - Momentum waning - night game - coming off bad year - lackluster opponent = Reported 24,592.... actual 19,253.25 (Lots of aluminum visible on the East Side)

somewhere around 2459 reserved seats still available... Weather watchers still on hold, I guess.
