Do you think there will be about that many Troy fans at the USA game?

I think there will be more. There's tons of Troy alums in the Mobile/Pensacola region, more than Birmingham. Troy also travelled very well to the 2009 GMAC Bowl.

Turnstile count for all our games. One of our best crowds. Troy had a great following.

I hope they keep this as our first game every year.

Honestly? I can believe that Legion Field was 39% full for that game

Didn't say that. Just that the announced crowd equaled 39% of capacity. I'd never hazard a guess based on two photos. Well that's not totally true. I once made a call on a game based on one photo. Central Arkansas once announced a crowd that was 2,000 above capacity and I called it bun based on a photo of the alumni side that was about 80% full.

RE: TROY/ UAB attendance
Why doesn't UAB just put tarps promoting the athletic department's fundraising drive, website, and scholarship funds across the upper decks and in the corners? Push the remaining fans down into the first level closer to the field and the atmosphere should be much better for games. Leaving those seats unsold, in hopes of making money which isn't there to be made, does the team a huge disservice.

They can't put them on the upper decks because they got condemned! U A is trying to do all they can to get UAB from improving.

I've been to enough games at Legion Field to say that the 28K passed my eyeball test as legit. Troy brought a nice crowd.

Congrats on the game. The better team won.

RE: TROY/ UAB attendance
I have very little doubt that we all take every step possible to wring every digit available from the crowd at hand, but I will note as a fan of a team that plays in a home cavern that the "No way you had that many people" arguments get old quick. What are we supposed to say?

I was surprised at the number after seeing the game on TV, but kudos to UAB for pulling that in (and to Troy for travelling that well!).

Huh? If the upper decks are condemned, shouldn't they be the perfect place for tarps and advertisements? Alabama is going way too far if they have anything to do with such a situation.

No. They removed the upper deck......

Yeah, the deck has been down for a 3-4 years now.

Would have come in handy yesterday, as an umbrella (assuming it didn't collapse on our heads, of course 03-lol )

We just desperately need our own stadium, atmosphere would have been much better in an on campus stadium.

RE: TROY/ UAB attendance
I guess I should have said middle decks in that case. Whatever the areas with all the empty seats at the top of the stadium are called. Just cover them up with tarps full of advertisements.
