Like the full allotment? Just curious. I know they get the whole lower part of the East side, but I'm not sure on the actual number. Anyone know?

Lol....8-10K. That's funny. There are maybe 13K on campus?
15,16k including grad students?
I bet maybe 3 show up.

I don't think its 10,000, else that would mean that War Memorial could hold around 40,000. It's capacity without the endzone seats is around 28,000-29,000.
Maybe around 4000-6000 or so for full capacity in the student section?

I bet the seating in that section is around 8000. I've seen it full before, BeaverPoke. Seating isn't enforced in the stadium so alot more people go to the student section.
When we've been snowed in we seem to get around 14,000 in the stands. I would guess thats probably 6k - 8k students and 6k - 8k locals from Laramie. Of course, we still have the local fans who won't go when the roads are closed (because its snowy, cold, etc).
So reading on the Old Farmers Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Memorial_Stadium_%28Wyoming%29" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false
, the lower stands seat 20,000.
1970 - they added 5,500 seats and the Bireli Press box on the west side. Total - 25,500.
1978 - they added seating and press box on the east side, and northern endzone bleachers to bring capacity to 33,500 (8,000 seats).
2001 - the northern bleachers were moved to the south end zone.
2004 - Capacity reduced to 32,580
2007 - Capacity reduced to 30,518
2010 - Wildcatters added, reduced to 29,181
This is my guess (its late, I'm tired, subject to error):
Lower east: 10,000
Upper east: 5,500
Lower west: 10,000
Upper west: 3,681
* I Have no idea how they count the wildcatter seating - if it is included or not. I know they have 250 seats and 10 suites. I wouldn't imaging the wildcatter would account for more than 1,000 (so the stadium capacity could be between 28,181 and 30,181).
If the entire east lower section is truly reserved for students, it appears to be 10k tickets.

I will never believe that 6-8 thousand students showed up for a game unless you are talking about 1988.
Whenever I ask kids if they are going to the game I get far more NO's than YES.

The question isn't how many students show up for a game, it's how many students can fill the section.

I was only asking how many people COULD sit in the student section, that's all.
