First Home Game Attendance

[JAMROB]

After seeing Dawgpix's video of the east side, and from looking at the west side from the east side, there east side had nearly twice the attendance as the west side.

I was thinking the opposite.

EXACTLY. T-Mac is cooking the attendance numbers so he can show growth later.

If true, then he must be planning some damn fine promotions he can hang his hat on when attendance "improves."

What side were you on?

[Dawgmatic]

When I came through the gate on the West side the lines were moving very quickly...and so were the scanner children. I didn't see them scan but one ticket out of every three or four people. There were more folks there last night than 16K. Not all tickets were scanned. I didn't dawdle around watching them not scan tickets all evening, but I saw at least 10 people go through with just having their tickets glanced at.

Me too...

Bottom of the west wasn't as compact but alot more of the stadium had folks sitting in it compared to the east side

.......hmmm.....I liked the padded numbers better.

What's wrong with padded numbers anyway? The rest of CUSA does it.

especially when they announced over 24000k for northeast, of course Grambling brought some I assume but 50% more than our announced crowd

Our group got scanned as we went in the SW gate. I had to turn around and go back to the parking lot for a few minutes and when I returned, the guy was just looking at tickets and letting people in. He told me his scanner had stopped working. No telling how many people went through that gate.

TNS posted evidence of that big lie on page 1A. Maybe 15K.

You wouldn't if you saw what the West side looked life from the East. And it doesn't really make sense, since the West gets the shade.

It was comfortable on the west side until the sunset and the wind died down...

Tommy must not have gotten the memo.

More like DR no longer writes the memo that includes a 5-digit number.

Very big difference in crowd density, especially in the lower section. It is a little disguised by the blue seats, but if you start focusing on the clusters of blue seats that are vacant, it becomes even more noticeable.

east is more compat, west is more spread out - my guess would be about same on each side after looking at pics

East outnumbers West 3:1 in lower section. It is PACKED shoulder to shoulder and pours into the aisles. West outnumbers East maybe 2:1 in the upper section.
