Curious...does anyone know what the actual capacity of Nippert Stadium is on football game days? I am not looking for the "approximately 40,000" number that is crap.

I have been to more fb games at Nippert than I can count...and it does feel good when they announce attendance #'s that approach or meet capacity. However, I have also been to my share of FCC games when the stadium seats are nearly packed, with thousands of more fans roaming the concession and bridge areas....and the announced attendance is only 30,000. Point being, there is no way an extra 10,000 people could possibly fit in the stadium.

I am just curious what the real capacity number might be.

40k was floated before seats were removed for soccer. That number was bogus. I’m guessing actual seats are pretty close to what they were before the renovation, which only added around 2,500 or so.

I don't think it's just seats when the give the 40,000 number. They also include standing room tickets (which they say there are about 2500). My understanding is they lost about 1200 seats during the reno. I'd bet capacity is around 38,000.

Yeah 38K would be my guess as well.

Here we go again with Seatgate. And sounds like Notchgate is coming soon.

And the latest is Tailgate...which people will never leave early until this team achieves a major bowl win. Minor league sport in a major league city. Please stop comparing UC to teams from Lexington, Morgantown, or Louisville. And by the way those schools are actually in the P5.
