Ten years ago was 2003 and we had a few sellouts. We beat ranked Maryland at home, ranked Alabama on the road and Iowa State at home. '96 through '98 was a different story.

I'll be there -- looking forward to repping the green in the town of the corn.

Don't forget. With their smaller stadium size a sellout for niu is not the same as a sellout for one of the Michigan schools.

They're currently only selling 23,595 - that's a sellout. They were selling 28K a decade ago. Same actual capacity. I think the fire marshall caused that.

You guys gotta get that fixed. Now is the time you should be bringing in temporary seating etc. Admins need to figure out how they can get that limit lifted. Strike while the iron is hot. You won't be this good forever.

With the Yordon Center being build on one side and a street being on the other side, there isn't room for temporary seating in the endzones. Even though the first two games have been "sell outs", I still think they could fit more people. I don't think EMU will sell out though. Not because it's EMU, but because it's not the home opener or homecoming.

If we win Saturday in Mt. Painful, the EMU game will be a sellout.

We have more 'upside' than NIU.

We can seat (and stand, in the south endzone) say 32K?

If we are coming off of a 7 - 5 or better season in 2019, then we just might hit 30K for the 2020 game vs. MSU just like CMU had great demand for their home game vs. State.
