Attendence prediction??

[Dawg Fan]

I hear all ya'll, but seeing some pictures would be even mo' better for those of us who can't make it there to experience it live and in person.

Ruston is packed already and it 10am. Going to be a fun afternoon and night. I just hope Tech brings it's A game.

We've been warning you for months! Just wait until about 2 p.m.; it willl be a madhouse! I am preparing to leave for Ruston as I write.

Remember, you heard it here first; more than 30,000 in attendance. Tech will resort to selling north end zone hillside seating to accomodate demand.

I remember one game back in the early 1980's against Northeast Louisiana (aka ULM) where the hills were packed with fans. The student housing staff (graduate residents and resident assistants) were put to work as extra ushers. The Northeast fans had to give us a driver's license or student ID to go to the bathroom/concession stand on the west side in order to make sure they went back to the hill instead of trying to sit in the reserved seating. I don't know if that would fly today, but it worked well back then.

If there were 8,000 SU fans you couldn't tell it by any noise. They were as quiet as a church mouse. Wonder why....

I think the 8000 number was a bit high. They did travel well, though.

SU traveled well and were a very classy bunch. Glad they came, fun atmosphere.

SU travels very well! RVs filled the memorial gym parking lot. Coach buses were lined up all the way from the railroad crossing to the curve where the old business building was. SU tailgating from the softball field all the way back to Wyly tower! They took over the "on campus" tailgating areas. I think 8,000 is fairly close to what they brought to the game. And I enjoyed having them here, every fan I talked with was courteous and excited about the game to get started.

Hopefully FIU can bring half as many fans

Once the game started, I did notice that that people were still trying to get in on the east side. Hopefully they were being directed to the west side where there were still some empty seats.

Definitely, SU has a great fan base.
