I really hope you are low on both the NIU and WMU games. Both should be HUGE . . . in multiple ways.

Weekday games, likely cold weather.

Looks reasonable to me, of course weather is always a wildcard but totally unpredictable at this point. I think that the only change I would make is subtract a 1000 from the Arkansas State game and add it on to the WMU game because I think that there is a good chance that the MAC West Championship and a trip to Ford Field will hinge on that game.
Are we talking tickets sold or people through the turnstiles?
the Iowa State game is listed as 8pm on Saturday night. Pending that not changing, this is the timeslot most on the board have wanted for some time.
Depending on outcome of the Arkansas game, this could potentially be the largest crowd this decade.
And because I'd enjoy a 3-0 start, the attendance for ARK State could follow suit.
But, if we lose at Arkansas, I still see 25-27 for Iowa State.

I hope we sell out some games but last year's attendance showing vs Missouri deflated my expectations for butts in seats. I think a 22-24k average for Ark St and Iowa St is what I'd put down.

Toledo has for some reason drawn a few thousand less for day games than night games it seems. I thought the Mizzou crowd was a bit meager for such a high ranked opponent.
High school make ups at Noon for that Mizzou game. The high school Mauk went to had to finish up or he would have had another 500-1000 there supporting mizzou. That game sells out if either high school games arent played or its a 7oclock start.
Saturday Day games attendance is always 2,000-5,000 lower than if the game were played at night. That's why I don't why UT wants to play Homecoming during the day. A 5:00 or 6:00 pm start would be great time that game instead of in the afternoon.

That time is set for our game to be on ESPNews

I was perhaps even more disappointed with the attendance at the Missouri game than I was with the game itself. However, I still have to wonder but what with Pinkel's attention to detail he was able to have his team anticipate the UT snap just as he did against Penn State in 2000.
It's too bad that NIU game is on a weeknight. If we only had 1 loss at that point, which is the best we can hope for, and it was on a Saturday--we could have a heck of a turnout. I'd say the same thing about the Western game, but on a weeknight, in late November--I don't know. There would have to be one heck of a buzz going for the Rockets to fill the place up on a weeknight in late November.

Western is the Friday after Thanksgiving and will be either at 11:00 am or 2:00 pm in the afternoon. Attendance always lacks on that day.
Even if the Western game is for the MAC West berth in the MAC Championship, I don't see more than 20k for that game. too many factors for that Friday game, especially because the times aren't usually posted until mid-season if I remember right.

We'll have between 20 and 35,000 fans for every game.

ESPN decides the game times for the Friday games about 1 to 2 weeks before.
