August 30 versus Montana (Attendance)

[BJC]

With all of the obvious excitement and enthusiasm surrounding the program right now -- how do you think this will impact the August 30 home/season opener against Montana?

Do you expect an uptick in attendance - or will the fact that it's not a conference opponent, and is a 1-AA school, do you think this will impact attendance from a negative standpoint?

Appreciate the response...

Go Pokes!

You should stay home and beat it like it owes you money! :jack: that 1-AA school might kick your teams ass. You think to much you, JACKWAGON

Oh hell.......here we go

Get outta here with that weak assed smack. Varsity. Junior Varsity. And certainly every dog has it's day, but if Wyoming were 1-AA we would roll.

Let's do a home and away (yes I know it's not permitted) and I'd bet there would be 27+ K in Missoula. SRO

NO SMACK intended but I find it amazing Montana's average in ' 13 after a couple down years was 24,400 while Wyo's was 19,400

Not surprising at all...had Wyoming had the same records (W/L) over the last 15 years, and Montana had Wyoming's record the same period, the roles would completely reverse, and the attendance would reverse as well. Has little to do with much other than that - with the exception of population proximity.

I hope it is over 20K. I think having the 2-3k MT fans will push us just over 20k. Wish I could be there. I am booked for the Oregon game and may drive up to the game vs Sparty..
