Guessing The Attendance

[McPeachy]

We had pretty solid attendance last year - hopefully that will continue.

Let the board know what you think WyoNation! Should be a beautiful day in Laramie, with a 2pm kick-off!

Assuming the weather is as good as they are predicting right now, we will have around 25k.

The number one thing for predicting Wyoming football attendance is weather. If it's a rainy day, we won't even get 20k.

Hmmmm interesting that is much higher than the Aggies acheived!!

Amid uncertainty, secrecy surrounding team, USU records smallest home opener crowd in 18 years

Supporters of Utah State football got pretty much everything they could want from the season opener. New head coach Bronco Mendenhall proved his worth as a $2 million coach by

I just realized that if we get 25k+ we will now be close to a sell out because of the reduced seating capacity after the renovations. Could it happen?

 

[Bear Claw]

I think the people who only go to a game or two will save their money and go to the Utah game. UNI is not a high caliber opponent. The brown and gold faithful may surprise me but I expect about 20-22K in attendance.

Nothing better on an early fall day (rain or shine). Its just good entertainment. Like I told my wife when we (and friends) were sitting in the stands for the BYU game, there is no place I would rather be. Despite the loss, I just plain enjoyed the venue.

16,848, wow! The pac-stabbers have tons of support.

And that number likely wasn't the actual attendance, that looked to be roughly around 13k...LMAO!

 

[OrediggerPoke]

22,400

It’s objectively putrid

 

[LanderPoke]

24,569

 

[doreno5]

I suspect that attendance will be down due to last year's lackluster performance. I think we will be lucky to break 22,000

 

[cowpoke pride]

This is the game that they are giving away free tickets for campus pass weekend and other promotions. That will get attendance to 23K.

The afternoon kick time will help. If tradition holds true for this season opener, it’ll be close to a sellout. A convincing win will ensure a sellout for the Utes. The offense needs to wake up and have a game like the New Mexico game last year, paired with a defensive domination from last week! Go Pokes!

And I thought our fan base was fickle!

Kaden has to have a bounce back game. Two poor performances in a row against relatively poor competition would be concerning.

My worry is that we tend to go to completely vanilla play-calling when we play these FCS teams because we are "better". We always seem to think we should be able to comfortably win the game just running our base defense and around 10 simple plays on offense. Then we end up in a tied game heading into the fourth quarter and who knows which way the game goes at that point.

I'd rather we bring some pressure on defense. Go for the deep ball early and often. Make Northern Iowa uncomfortable from the get go.

My daughter is trying to buy tix for the “return of JA17” game Nov 22nd. She said it shows no tix available on the UW app.

Yep. It seems we play to the level of competition. If we’re superior, I wish we would see a game where we just dominate from the beginning. Score early, often and dominate on D.
