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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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'm not looking for trouble, but 41k showed up to see Georgia Tech play at UNC.
If we played Georgia Tech at home we would have a huge crowd like Miami. The downside for us is we play Sun Belt/G5 opponents which less people get excited for unfortunately.

I won’t be there but I’m currently waiting for the plane to deploy. Will be watching it from overseas on TV though.
Deploy? You're active military?

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

Based 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.
But this time students are on campus. That's an extra 5k (Students were about half-strength for Troy).
Very good point!

Will probably notice more people leaving at half, especially if we have a decent lead.

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.

So what you are saying is Georgia Tech travels well?
Not 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.
If you are saying we have a small fanbase compared to SEC and ACC teams, then I agree.
Exactly, 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.
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.

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.

Regardless of the official number, this Mountaineer fanbase must stand and bring the noise!!!! Our #1 Sunbelt Defense deserves our support! They feed off us! Let’s bring it, Saturday @ noon. Going with 27853 through the gates.

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