Well that was certainly the case last night with a reported sellout and then attendance listed at 33,000+. On television, the house looked full so this will likely breathe new life into the conversation about seating capacity. I'm not a soccer fan (nor a detractor) but Nippert looked pretty awesome last night and the energy around this two year old minor league franchise is nothing short of amazing.

Assuming that FCC sold the same number of GA tickets last year then it would appear that they removed about 1800 seats between the sidelines and notches. The FCC game last night was a "sell out" at 33,250. The Crystal Palace game last year was also a "sell out," with attendance at just a little over 35k.

On television, the house looked full so this will likely breathe new life into the conversation about seating capacity.I've never understood people's obsession with seating capacity but it should end that conversation. Take the old capacity and subtract 2,000. Should be somewhere around 38,000. Atmosphere at the game was terrific last night but I have one big complaint- concession lines. I got to the game reasonably early to the point where you could expect to get a drink and a snack and not be pushing the start of the game. Lines were long but I decided to wait anyway. I got into a line where the person working was at least 50% slower than the other two lines. This was an outside organization doing a fundraiser. I understand this probably saves money but you lose control of the process and this greatly effects the experience. These types of things are why more and more people are choosing to watch on TV. I feel like this is a problem during the football games as well. I'd have to think hiring your own workers not only would give you more quality control but being able to serve more customers would allow you to sell more than enough concessions to make up for the additional cost.

I'm not by any means some conspiracy theorists, but you'd have hard time convincing me that another 5,000-7,000 people would fit in that stadium last night.

There isnt any seats available as of this morning; so Id expect an announced sell out at some point. The Bailey, since GA, could hold a few hundred if not a thousand more when 1 seat to 1 ticket, and the GA had PLENTY of space last night(Berding said they gave up hundreds of GA tickets they sold for Crystal Palace last time so fans would be more comfortable.. football time, they will allow thousands more in there since students love being inappropriately close to each other.. RE: Nippert Defilement - Saw it Tonight - TubaCat - 08-16-2017 03:11 PM I'm hoping UC still reports 40,000 as Nippert's capacity... plenty of schools (G5 and P5) "embellish" their crowds and capacities in order to sound more impressive. It sure worked for getting Pitt into the ACC... just sayin'. Even "The U" does it.

I absolutely agree that there are more "seats" that could have been sold in GA -- but looking at the stadium last night, if you told me "Eh, we can fit another 5,000 in here, easily" I'd call you a damned liar. I'm cool with UC reporting whatever number they want to further their own ends, but there is no way, no how that Nippert holds 40,000 actual people.

Over the years I have become pretty good at estimating attendance. There were no more than 10k in the house-- many of whom were YSU supporters. Pitt announced 45k.

RE: Nippert Defilement - Saw it Tonight - RealDeal - 08-16-2017 05:46 PM I was sitting on the west side so I couldn't see how full the club section was but I always assumed the difference between the football and soccer capacities had to do with not counting private suites that weren't sold for soccer. I'd assume if a company chooses not to purchase their suite for FCC it doesn't get counted against the capacity since they aren't putting those back on the market. I'd assume many of those suites aren't used for soccer.

Are there a lot less numbers drinking at those games(relative to fball), or is it the same during breaks?

I think the fact that the game is only 2 hours for the vast majority of games helps this immensely. The Fire game and the Red Bulls game with extra time,(still under 3 hours) are shorter than even the quickest american football games. Halftime has lines, but since football is 2 45 minute, non stop halves, it not only seems to go faster, but I contend with less non active game time, I find people like my wife, don't think about it, so it isn't as pressing. She goes when we walk in(or at the bar before we leave on the way to the match), and then we go when we get to a bar after the game.. in the 15 games I have been to this year, I think my wife and I have used the bathroom between minutes 1 and 90 a combined 4 times.. And it may be anecdotal, but the drinking at least in the Bailey is NOT less than football, I'd contend it's a lot more. RE: Nippert Defilement - Saw it Tonight - CliftonAve - 08-17-2017 10:24 AM I am willing to bet our game time we be shorter than it has been the past four years. We will be running the ball and utilizing shorter passes more so I anticipate that will keep the clock moving, as opposed to relying on the passing game so much- which results in a lot of clock stoppages on incomplete passes and first downs. Also, if we are able to stop teams on third down at all with this staff it will shorten length of play as well.

Either way, football in general is bordering on ridiculous levels of time and will start to drive away live viewers if there are no solutions made soon.

Watching some bad football last year was tedious enough but all those incomplete passes on offense and the inability to get a first down--or stop one defensively made for some long afternoons and evenings.

I looked at my watch and it had been almost 90 minutes and halftime seemed forever away still.. RE: Nippert Defilement - Saw it Tonight - FenderCat - 08-17-2017 06:47 PM Still, great game. I hated the fall back playing defensively when we had the lead- sort of like prevent defense with a small lead in FB. I know FCC is a great defensive team (strength) but it's tiring & they got tired. Then finally down they pressed and had as many scoring chances as they did. |
