Re: Attendance Predictions for SBC Championship Game
I wish we had those Wal-mart fans. We need a more National/Regional fanbase outside of alumni. We may be headed in that direction but still have a long way to go.

Re: Attendance Predictions for SBC Championship Game
Students will save the day. 20,000 die hards just like last week plus 6000 additional students. 26,000. Wish it would be larger, but realism tells me otherwise. But the joint will be rocking.
Can’t wait.

Re: Attendance Predictions for SBC Championship Game
I’d be thrilled with 23,500. How come we don’t have digital tickets or tickets you can print for this? Having to wait in line to pick up tickets really blows. Also a 12:00 start will hurt attendance.

Re: Attendance Predictions for SBC Championship Game
I was wondering about not being able to print tickets also. Curious to know the reason. Imagine will call is going to be a nightmare.diehardapp18 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 26, 2018 8:24 pmI’d be thrilled with 23,500. How come we don’t have digital tickets or tickets you can print for this?

Re: Attendance Predictions for SBC Championship Game
I agree that will call at the Holmes Center for those who have to get a parking pass will be really bad. Hoping some alternate option can be available

Re: Attendance Predictions for SBC Championship Game
I was wrong last week and I hope I'm wrong again this week but with the inconvenience of the ticket procedure and the forecasted weather, I think some of these predictions of attendance approaching 30,000 are overly optimistic.

I won’t be there but I’m currently waiting for the plane to deploy. Will be watching it from overseas on TV though.

In memory of Gerald Adams, I’ll pick 24,540 (Danville, Va.).

Very good point!Gonzo wrote: ↑Mon Nov 26, 2018 1:21 pmBut this time students are on campus. That's an extra 5k (Students were about half-strength for Troy).GastonApp09 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 26, 2018 12:28 pmBased on current ticket sales, I don't know if we surpass what we had last Saturday. I doubt many "casual" fans come at all. It will be the hardcore 18-20K that usually stay all 4 quarters. I think 23,500 would be top end of what to expect unfortunately. Hope to be eating some crow on Saturday.

Re: Attendance Predictions for SBC Championship Game
Will probably notice more people leaving at half, especially if we have a decent lead.

Re: Attendance Predictions for SBC Championship Game
It would make even less sense for people to leave early for this game because they'll miss the trophy presentation and on-field celebration...but I'm sure we'll see that.

Re: Attendance Predictions for SBC Championship Game
I don't worry about Walmart fans. They help the Nielson's and buy licensed merchandise. . We are getting more fans who have no connection or family connections. Just fans.ASU-FTW wrote: ↑Mon Nov 26, 2018 7:39 pmExactly, it’s all relative. I’m proud we don’t have any Wal Mart fans which make up the majority of UNCheat’s fan base.fjblair wrote: ↑Mon Nov 26, 2018 6:08 pmIf you are saying we have a small fanbase compared to SEC and ACC teams, then I agree.appgrad95&97 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 26, 2018 2:33 pmNot as well as Western, more folks were at that game. I'm just saying it's always something, weather, children, opponent, holiday. I think we have a small fanbase. I'm not complaining.appstatealum wrote: ↑Mon Nov 26, 2018 2:27 pmSo what you are saying is Georgia Tech travels well?appgrad95&97 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 26, 2018 2:20 pmI'm not looking for trouble, but 41k showed up to see Georgia Tech play at UNC.

Re: Attendance Predictions for SBC Championship Game
Just cheated and checked seats still available on line. Not a lot of west side seats left. A boat load still open on east side upper ends. Just Tuesday.

Well, ULL students get in free if they make the trip to KBS. Hopefully, our students would be offered the same deal.
