I have no knowledge of how sales have gone for this game, nor have I seen any comments. I would guess based solely on prior years that the attendance will be around 36,000 announced and 25,000 actually in the stadium.
I sincerely hope that I am wrong and the attendance is much higher. Winning will bring in higher crowds - will it ever get back to the peak Tedford years? It would take a lot of winning and exciting teams to get back to that level, and circumstances (like having every game televised) have changed since then. And those complaining about the tarps in the south end zone may not remember, or know, that there were tarps in both end zones blocking off seats during much of the Tedford era.
