I think it's going to depend on how many ppl you think you can draw. Maxwell is a relatively extremely small space for gameday. But if you only think you can get hundreds of people, then that might have to be the choice.

Just to give you an idea, the record attendance for gameday is 26k (James Madison). I have no idea what the average is, but I'd wager it's somewhere in between 5k-10k. That's at least what we should be shooting for. But like I've said earlier, I'm skeptical

---

The main problem here is that the show will run from 6am to 9am PST. You could get several thousands to attend a 9am to 12pm pregame show at Maxwell field, but not many are going to be there that early in the morning.

---

Which is why unless you have degenerate fans like at Oregon, just showing up means a light crowd on TV and that may not be attractive for ESPN

I'd agree. I'd look for maxwell field tbh as well. Great shot of the stadium, can probably have some overflow into the plaza and steps.

I looked at the UCLA footage when they hosted gameday, not impressed at all. Seemed like it was cheerleaders and people who were told to be there, they have maybe 500 people there? If we draw simiarly maxwell is the best bet

Do youi think Cal would give permission for people to camp out at either the night before the event? But probably a new issue for them, so might take some time to get an answer for each venue.

---

Not a new issue. I'm pretty sure Cal allows overnighting in the oak trees that surround the stadium.

Sunrise in October in Berkeley is around 7am, the show would kick off in the dark, so maybe a sparse crowd during the first hour is not a gamebreaker. By 8am though they would get a couple of thousands, between the Miami visitors, some Greeks and curious local fans. They could easily get that if the AD organizes some festivities and gives out freebies like free T-shirts, pancakes or donuts and coffee to the first thousand fans.

I see it stated a few times in this thread, but let's state it explicitly:

Can we please just focus on SDSU?!

As nice as it is to speculate and dream, threads like this get us to 2-1, followed by threads in 2030 "remember the time we were 2 weeks away from game day?"

---

Screw that. I'm going to keep fantasizing. We don't get too many opportunities to do this, so might as well enjoy this

So who should we get to be the celebrity picker? Marshawn right?

Yes, it's going to be Marshawn.

What GameDay would look like at 5AM (this is from Washington last year)

^Impressive showing, I guess that's why UW and UO are in the B1G...

This being said, Gameday starts at 6am, not 5am. If it could be organized as a morning party event with freebies we might get a decent crowd.

I would guarantee the crowd will be there if we make it. You have to consider the momentum build that would happen over the next 3 weeks if we were to get on gameday. That would mean we went on the road to FSU and handled them. At that point we are ranked, and with a bye week before, some random losses of other ranked teams week 5 could elevate us to a nice ranking at that point.

Dark or not, the glade would get the turnout. Pointless conversation if we don't take care of business though.

For the record the most impressive showing ever on College Gameday was in Pullman. Absolutely electric scene.

Nce summary, Let's hope that the stars stay perfectly aligned and allow both Cal and Miami to stay unbeaten. ff so, they they will surely meet on GameDay.

One question -- can the game be moved to the afternoon to avoid Cal fans having to show up for GameDay at 6 a.m. for a 9 a.m. kickoff? That very early time should seriously deflate the enthusiasm for Cal fans to attend GameDay festivities for a game that might be at the top, or close to it, of all of the GameDay games presented this season. Has ESPN ever shown any flexibility on this issue? Moving the game to a later time during the day could substantially increase the number of people across the country who will watch it on ESPN.

Gameday airs from 6am-9am.

The game they are at kicks off at various times. Sometimes it's at 9am. Much more often, it's in prime time. This is not much of a concern.

Sunrise is 7:08a, just to add to this. Because of the "finally, this is happening" aspect to this, I think the students will over perform (and then go back and go to sleep lol). Also, two more wins, and being undefeated at that point, creates even more momentum to all of this...

I wonder how much Gobears49 is being serious with these questions. For someone who seems very keen on bringing GameDay to Berkeley, he definitely is not familiar with how the show works.

Two times a Cal road game has been featured for GameDay: 2004 at USC, 2007 at Oregon. Both times the game started at 12:30 PT.

Agree, a lot of students will show up, especially if there is some kind of institutional support for the event (promos and freebies). Also a lot of Miami people will show up, those travelling from the east coast will be on EST body clock and will have no problem getting there at 6am or 7am PST.

At 5:30am on a Saturday, it would probably take me only 20 minutes to get to campus from where I live in SF. Which isn't bad. So I have been thinking I would ago if Gameday came here. But you raise a good point - if it's a prime time game (4-5pm), I'm going to need a place to nap. If it's a NIGHT game, then maybe I'd just go home and come back.

good point about Miami fans...

Miami has one the strangest fanbases in the country. Their own home stadium is laughably empty almost every week. But they have strange national fanbase filled with weirdos and general low class individuals. These are people who were probably living in South Florida when Canes were dominating in the 80s; none of whom actually went to Miami.

Generally, most places where Miami visits has a baseline of these people just already living there. For example, they'd come out of the woodwork in Durham when they came to Wallace Wade Stadium (Duke) when I lived there. But since the you people have priced out the riff raff here for decades, I guess they'll drive in from Bakersfield .

My serious point is I don't think away fan attendance is something you'll have to worry about, because most Miami fans are just people who enjoy playing as them in NCAA video games and others who enjoy ESPN documentaries. They don't actually travel. Cal will OWN gameday completely if they choose to come to Berkeley.

The irony for me personally is that in all my years of wishing for this as a student (oregon 04, oregon 06) then later (Tennessee 07, Texas 15, etc) it finally looks like it really might happen and I have to be in the UK to speak at an Oxford alumni group on Friday and Saturday morning. Best I could hope for is to get from Oxford to Heathrow in 2 hours (rare) and miss the closing and get through international security and under the tarmac to the international gates in 30 minutes (wishing on a star) to catch the 1pm flight and be back at SFO at 330 and catch an Uber and come in the backway up fish ranch then boonie crash down the hill and maybe make a 5pm start time but obviously miss gameday.
This is literally Zachary Runningwolf and Dumpster Bagel playing with a voodoo doll of me. No other explanation.

Correct ... except there will never be a home game on the west coast starting before 12 noon. If we got the gameday slot the game would most likely be at 12:30 pm (ABC); 1pm (ESPN) or 4:30 pm (ABC/ESPN) given the east coast viewers interested in Miami. They would never put these two teams at 7:30 pm if it was that marquee of a game.

Nce summary, Let's hope that the stars stay perfectly aligned and allow both Cal and Miami to stay unbeaten. ff so, they they will surely meet on GameDay.

One question -- can the game be moved to the afternoon to avoid Cal fans having to show up for GameDay at 6 a.m. for a 9 a.m. kickoff? That very early time should seriously deflate the enthusiasm for Cal fans to attend GameDay festivities for a game that might be at the top, or close to it, of all of the GameDay games presented this season. Has ESPN ever shown any flexibility on this issue? Moving the game to a later time during the day could substantially increase the number of people across the country who will watch it on ESPN.

Gameday airs from 6am-9am.

The game they are at kicks off at various times. Sometimes it's at 9am. Much more often, it's in prime time. This is not much of a concern.

---

I wonder how much Gobears49 is being serious with these questions. For someone who seems very keen on bringing GameDay to Berkeley, he definitely is not familiar with how the show works.

Two times a Cal road game has been featured for GameDay: 2004 at USC, 2007 at Oregon. Both times the game started at 12:30 PT.

---

There is no correlation between hosting Game Day and kick off time.

---

Correct ... except there will never be a home game on the west coast starting before 12 noon. If we got the gameday slot the game would most likely be at 12:30 pm (ABC); 1pm (ESPN) or 4:30 pm (ABC/ESPN) given the east coast viewers interested in Miami. They would never put these two teams at 7:30 pm if it was that marquee of a game.

very accurate....

It's okay....I'm going to take extra reps in practice today just to make sure I am good on the field Saturday...oh wait, I forgot, I'm not actually playing in the game nor is anyone who is posting here.
IF the teams looks past SDSU, then shame on them for one, but also, I'm not thinking about players are" worrying about Gameday," I would say it's more about looking ahead to a big game in Tallahassee. Losing to SDSU means they probably aren't good enough for GameDay consideration anyway.
I don't think the game against FSU is any kind of lock of a win no matter what the Noles have done so far. So if you or others are thinking we all are looking ahead, then yeah, for sure guilty. Maybe, and I'm not going to my gambling app to wager on it, but if Cal loses to Tallahassee in a nailbiter, the Game Day thing still comes to pass in Berkeley? Small possibility....
