Attendance minus 7,000 no shows =56,000. You have a point, that is not exactly half empty, but 60% is pretty close. Half empty!!

So if we were 3-2 in a P5 conf, you think the stadium would always be full?

FMOCIE

10/9/15 7:13am

It should be. The stadium should be full with any record or the opponent.

Littlerich

10/9/15 7:16am

Yes, I think if we had regular conference foes, we would have greater attendance

i see your point USC's stadium was half empty last night because

It's not Independence, it's called not being in the B12/Pac12. You're implying

I'm much more excited to see BYU play their independent schedule

So you are saying that if we are playing Washington on a Thursday 35000 is fine

I watched last night's game. The crowd was late arriving, it wasn't anywhere

I really don't care, it's just that CB exaggerated the emptiness of the stadium

This is the same as BYU having 37,000 in cougar stadium. Imagine the meltdown

I expect 60k. is that a dooms day number ?

Walk the walk. Buy a bunch of tix and bring all of the YM/YW in your ward.

I call this line of thinking, "College Football False Doctrine."

saltair

because it would be a sellout if we were playing new mexico?

Cougz19

10/9/15 8:30am

Actually yes. We routinely sold out against New Mexico, Wyoming

Uh, BYU was winning.

Westsider

Are your sure....I routinely got those tickets for free or 5 bucks.

digitalayon

Very few teams are selling out now...and a lot of teams were selling out then

Casual fans will not be at either game, unless given a ticket.
