Temple vs Penn State sold out! 68k tix
Wow ... it's been a long time since we sold out the Linc. Prices are sky high for this one with the average sideline tix costing around $100. I am hearing that the Eagles are charging $40 for their parking this year so hopefully this PSU game won't go higher than $30.

I expect parking to go back down for the Tulane game to to the normal $20. Perhaps a sideline tix will go for $50. Less on StubHub for sure.
I am estimating that Temple will have maybe 38k fans to PSU's 32k. The last two games here in Philly we had slightly more fans and we darn sure made more noise!

But man. It sure feels good to finally be able to attend a sellout. Notre Dame may also sellout. The bad news is that neither team is slated to return to Philly. These could be our last sellouts at the Linc ..... ever ... But then again we have never hosted a conference championship ...

Nice job! I am sure that the Penn State fans will try and take credit for most of those seats regardless of the make up of the crowd, though. That is unfortunately the way it is.

Anyway, I hope the Owls take down Penn State. That would be SPECTACULAR!

I'm expecting to see about 60% of that being Penn State fans.

Never know with rivalry games but the pen state guys I know are treating this like a home game.

I'm sure you have access to our season ticket, multi-game and single game ticket numbers right?

Why be a dick?

You wouldn't appreciate the snide comments about ECU if you were playing another NC school in any sport, so give us the same respect.

How is that being a dick? PSU can draw 100k. I'm sure a shitload of their fans will show up.

Did you ever consider that maybe Temple people are especially excited about a home schedule that includes Penn State and Notre Dame? Maybe consider the fact that we could have significantly higher season ticket sales than usual?

There's absolutely no reason to trash us for selling out the first game.

Because ECU can sell-out their games even when they are not playing a Penn State or Notre Dame, while Temple has never been able to do so without playing a huge program.

Penn State sold this game out and you know it. Sell more than half of the Linc for a normal game and I'll start giving you credit.

And just to be fair, the same thing can be said of UC playing Ohio State at PBS.

How is he being a dick?

Obviously, the majority of fans will be PSU supporters. Anyone who says otherwise is smoking some serious smack.
