Attendance Guesses for Tomorrow!

Every year, for the last 8 or 9 years, I have ran the "guess the home opener attendance" poll. I always guess high, and am always disappointed by our turnout for the first game of the year. I hope to be surprised this year, with a 78 degree day and no winds.

Cast your votes / post your thoughts! Most importantly, GO POKES!!! :thumb:

I've heard quite a few should show, but with that letdown last week who knows I'm there and will hook up with others for fun, and OH YEAH bring on the BEER, 25014 my guess

19,100

It's Gardner-Webb and unfortunately a lot of people will choose to skip this game in order to attend the next few.

I'll be honest, I doubt I will be there after halftime. If that makes me a bad Pokes fan, so be it. I drove 24 hours over the course of 2 days to catch last week's game.

I'm guessing 24000 as it's opening day with beautiful weather

Coming off a loss and having a huge home game the very next week don't help... My heart says 25k but my brain says only 20k

Good weather might bring more people out. Let's say 21,500 since I'm an optimist.

0-1, perceived easy win, and Oregon next week = 17,500...at best.

Nothing! You were a pessimist and UNDERESTIMATED the attendance. Pessimists are frowned upon in this forum. My 19,247 estimate wins. I'm an optimist, but a REALISTIC optimist (not like the ones that predicted 24,000)

I thought for sure we would have more. First day selling beer at the war. A chance to watch a pokes win, opening day, josh Allen hype, and hunting season isn't in full swing.
