Smallest enrollment in P5...5,000 undergrads. Have the smallest stadium too, seats 31K.
They had hoped for 36K yesterday vs. Notre Dame, but the heat (it was 90F at kickoff) kept the crowd down. They had opened the grassy hills in both EZs to accommodate the extra 5K. The shady area under the scoreboard was packed. The stands largely empty. The actual attendance fell short of 30K.
90F is warm, yeah, but it's not so brutal that it should have kept the crowd size down for Notre Dame!
If Wake was not grandfathered in, they would not be in a P5 conference. Would probably be in the AAC or maybe even CUSA.
