There was a small section of seats in the E section. Roughly rows 50-55ish. E section puts you between the 20-40.

I think 12 to 15k is going to end up being a safe bet.

Walking outside this morning got the college football juices flowing, feels like football!

The long term forecast looks outstanding! Hope it holds up.

If the forecast is that good from now until kickoff then add 545 to my predicted attendance total.

I buy season tickets for the cause, and try to attend at least one game a year. With no games in Florida I decided to make the trip.

Will be going to Tallahassee next year for the game; ain't gonna pretty.

I just hope none of the FSU fans remember me trash talking at the Orange Bowel, lol.

I was in a mixed fan section in mezzanine at the Orange Bowl. Some idiots close to me were talking smack the whole game with the "NIU didn't belong" nonsense. After we got the touchdown in the third quarter to bring it to 17-10 I started talking about the "mighty No'ls and laughing. One guy turned around and was yapping so I started doing that obnoxious Nol's chop to him.

Needless to say I cut out early in the 4th quarter when things started going downhill.

In summary, any trash talk about NIU will be met with corresponding trash talk.

I was being 100% serious...but glad I could make you laugh in your head.

I'm guessing 17,500. I believe it would have been 21k at least but DeKalb and Sycamore both have home high school football games. I hope it's more but the high school games will hurt local crowd.

Correction DeKalb is home but sycamore is away.

3,000.........empty seats. (21,000)

I looked at TM at the available tickets in section A...and there are only 3 tickets at the end of row 49 available in the whole section.

Either they could all be sold OR NIU/BC are holding back the allotment from TM until next week or even game day. So we will see.

Safe bet that that's your DeKalb County Promo area and most likely will be held for the walk-up they hope to get for the Promo.

Weather looks perfect for next Friday. I am nervous about the student side (tv side too) of the stadium tho. Gonna guess 18k with the west side more filled than the Eastside

Just turned on Oregon St at Colorado St. What a beautiful stadium they built. And a sold out crowd. We can only dream

Does anyone know how the attendance is shaping up for this weekend based on tickets sold or any other measure you can think of?

I am adding 147 to my total due to the many commercial promos of the game being run on TV and 2 more due to the popcorn bucket as the season ticket holder gift.

So that puts me at 17351

I ran into Brad at cornfest and granted I was pretty drunk but I think he said they're optimistic they'll have 20+

How well do BC fans travel and what kind of turn out can we expect from them?

I'm guessing 20K I think BC is going to travel decently for this game. They do have some Chicago area alums being a Catholic U and Chicago area having a large Catholic contingent.

It's surprising, when Northwestern hosts Stanford, Cal, Oregon State or another west coast school you would think would not send that many fans, nearly 5K show up between alums who live in the area or the midwest or who have family or friends in the area that they can stay with for the weekend.

Will be interesting, hope the Huskies can pull out the W.
