Attendance?

[f5dryline]

Just curious on what you all think the attendance will be for the game vs. Southern? Im just hoping the Lobo football team gets the support on saturday!! Obviously 30k+ would be great so...

[Kenny]

There has been about 10,000 season tickets sold. If Jaguar is correct Southern will bring about 8,000. Since there is no TV for this game I'm expecting a good size walkup crowd of maybe 9,000. So my guess will be 27,500.

[Darkside]

Not gonna happen. I checked and Southern didn't get much more than 8k for a couple of their HOME games last season.

I am guessing announced low 20s, with around 17-18k actual.

[PreLawLobo]

I'm guessing above 25k. Lobo fans show up when we need them.(see NMSU game last year) We know this is a crucial game for our program so we will show up.

[Darkside]

A crucial game is one for a conf championship, against a rival, or maybe to go to a bowl. Playing a average 1AA team is far from it.

[PTR]

20K sounds about right.

[Jaguar225]

35,000.

[lobosrsk]

42,000+. We're undefeated baby! I'm hoping there is a good crowd to support our team. The guys have worked awfully hard this summer.

26,500

[nickgallegos]

The students claim they are going into the stadium from South Lot, will see if they really do plan on attending the game.

[LoboDogg]

I think there will be a good walk-up crowd.

28K

[UNM Class of 1972]

I would guess about 22,000.

[Louiefan]

24,579

[Lobodawg92]

I think the paper said that 16000 tickets had been sold. If it is a nice day, I expect 25k will be about it. Many have the attitude of darks post above, and don't realize the importance of this game, or of supporting the program to build something. You don't go from 3-a sideways 8 to competing with Boise in an off season. :-)

[Roob]

I would guess about 22,000.

That was my guess as well. I'll have to change mine. 22,001

[MacLobo]

$1, Bob!

[vw]

The hurricane might affect SU's crowd .

[Loco Lobo 05]

28k-30k because fans always come out to see the first game with a new coach

[JTX]

Ill be there with 4. Gonna pick up season tickets tomorrow.

You can still get them for $120!

[GiJoeRay]

Just picked up 5 tickets. According to UNM Tickets website, there are 9,212 tickets available. looking like a real good turn out, 30k+ possible!

Where is wallyhopp when you need a ticket counter!

[Lobo22]

I'm gonna say 29,000... A lot of people are gonna be like "man it's a nice day for football" on Saturday, and we will have a good walk up crowd!

As has been discussed here a million times, that has nothing to do with actual tickets sold. There are blocks of the stadium that cannot be purchased there.

[Jaguar225]

The hurricane might affect SU's crowd .

I'm still coming. It is going to be over by Friday and they are expecting it to be a 1 or 2. We have seen worse.

As long as the don't shut down BR Airport I'm fine. A lot of folks flying out of NO also, so they might be affected.

[Chellwege]

Lets see I think I have a good formula to figure this out
Season Ticket Holders=10,000 Fans
Gameday fans who will buy there tickets day of +8000 Fans
Fans who will buy tickets once the game has begun +925
Weather Prediction is 94 Degrees Farenheit +1000 Fans
Fans wanting to see the new Head Coach +2500
Students +1025
Fans wanting to see the new field +750
Southern fans coming to Albuquerque for the game according to Jaguar225 +8000
The actual number of fans coming from southern -7950

Bringing the total to 24250
I was hoping it was more but what are you going to do. Math is Math

[Jaguar225]

But most people are leaving Friday, he will be gone. The buses leaving Thursday, may run into rain until they get in Texas. We will be fine.

[loboaddict]

Attendance at last season's home opener against CSU was 21,454. It was a conference game, but there was not much excitement for last season for obvious reasons.

The excitement of a new head coach, new era, new field, etc., I think we will get between 25,000 and 30,000.
