yeah, I think all factors combined - weather, positivity, good showing @ UCLA, last in series with MTSU, Grizz support - are going to lead to some attendance #s that surprise some folks.

Is there anything else major going on in-town (eg, concert)?

St. Jude's bike ride is the only big thing that I know of.

Good, it should be over in time for kickoff.

It's actually over at the same time as kickoff.

Always the safe bet.

Sellout, minus one. So, around 59K.

Okay, maybe not THIS Saturday. :)

my Guess is that the attendance will be larger than any game MTSU has ever had at their stadium.

"Floyd Stadium's capacity is 30,788. MTSU's loss to Georgia Tech in 2011 drew the largest crowd with an announced 30,502. A 2009 win over Memphis had an attendance of 28,105, and the Blue Raiders' 2010 loss to Troy drew 28,010. Eight of the top 10 highest-attended home games have come during Stockstill's tenure."

True, but it appears many of the participants will be finished in time for the game.

We have really fat fans?

What difference does 5000 make if we kick their butts in our third game of the season, and go 2-1?

You can see how many tickets have been sold on Gotigersgo.com. Just go to the ticket section and "use the map." Gray dot means sold, green dot means still available..

LOL, I just remember coming home from games that looked like a nice crowd only to the learn the attendance was 27,000. It seems like every time Al Brown announced a crowd it was 27,000. Everyone would spread out a bit if the seat next to them was empty.

In fact if we had a crowd of 30-35 and everyone just scooted over about a foot from their stadium neighbor...

According to the ticket website, i am going to be able to stretch out during the MTSU game.
