8723. That's rough. I knew it would be bad after the first 2 game performances and the weather report of a monsoon but I was hoping for better than that.

Liar. Or crazy. Or stupid. Or maybe all three.

There was no way there was 8723 in the stands today. There had to be less than 200 on the NSU side, and there may have been 3500 on the Blazer side. Must have announced ticket sales and not attendance.

And yes....that crowd was rough.

crowd sucked...but i guessed 8 or 9 thousand while i was there, FWIW

Win ball games(preferably Vandy) and people will come.

Yep! Like going to games when we win. Wifey was at a womens conf. so we drove down from HSV. My two boys and myself enjoyed ourselves!!

8 was my guess also. I was disappointed in number of folks, but its always great to spend the day with blazer fans.

We guessed about right. 8-9K. Wished there were more. Since we sat on the other side we had a better vantage point of the actual attendance.

and the crowd noise from the blazer fans on that side of the field was reverberating sll over the stadium.

Yes it certainly was.

Lord, how we like to kick ourselves about attendance.

We haven't won more games than we lost in 8 years. We were 0-2 in year 9, and it rained.

Just remember this: There are no fair-weather Blazer fans.
