Last year's FCS game only drew 26K - TIGERCITY - 09-06-2015 08:53 PM This year? Dr. M. David Rudd @UofMemphisPres With our great student numbers added, closer to 50K. RE: Last year's FCS game only drew 26K - uofmfan12 - 09-06-2015 09:35 PM Dr. M. David Rudd @UofMemphisPres @memphistigerjeb Paid gate attendance + students (don't pay). 11:13 PM - 5 Sep 2015 So the attendance number didn't include students or people who paid at the gate RE: Last year's FCS game only drew 26K - georgiatiger - 09-06-2015 09:43 PM Last year we were coming off a 3-9 season.

David Rudd @UofMemphisPres It's been far too long since I've entered a game as a student. Back in my day, all you had to do was show your student ID and they gladly allowed you in. Pretty sure no one counted us back then either.

RE: Last year's FCS game only drew 26K - CKMcDan - 09-07-2015 02:21 PM We would have had a larger crowd last year had the weather been better. Wasn't it raining, or threatening to rain at last year's opener?

Walk ups are included in the paid attendance. Same here. Once I graduated, I had a friend that was still in school. I had him go to the office and report a lost ID. They processed it and handed him a slip of paper to take to the next room (or something) to have his photo made. He handed it to me, I had the picture made and I had a new photo ID with his name on it. :) Wasn't the worst of things I did back in the day. |
