Attendance Prediction for Saturday

[every_yard]

Will Saturday be a sellout? Perfect weather. New coaching staff. Hopefully, we can get 61,500 there...

Is there a way you can see how many tickets are left when looking at Ticketmaster (other than counting each seat individually)?

 

[NetflixAndClone]

I think 61,500 or more

 

[BigJCy]

Jamie was on KXNO and believe he said around 58,000 sold right now. Would have to be a good sized walk-up to get a sell out.

 

[CycloneErik]

It will be a sellout.

 

[Mtowncyclone13]

sell out but not good that they are still advertising tickets.

 

[The_Gent]

I would assume sellout. New coach and playing an in state school? No reason for it not to be...

 

[NickTheGreat]

I was going to say I'd be a little surprised if it weren't a sell out. I mean, first game of the season, new coach, in-state opponent, gorgeous weather . . .

 

[Deanster]

Didn't sound like Pollard expected a sell out.

 

[Erik4Cy]

60,001

 

[jay moe]

Sellout.

 

[ribsnwhiskey]

sell out but not good that they are still advertising tickets.

Why? We've won 8 games the last 3 years. Plenty of people in wait and see mode.

 

[CyCrazy]

It will be over 60k

 

[Beyerball]

It will hit 60k by kickoff. Maybe a small portion of the far upper corners won't have fans but stadium will be full.

 

[IceCyIce]

I'm walking up on game day - 60,004

 

[Gunnerclone]

maybe if we just announced that cyclones.tv will be slow and have problems now we can get the Jack packed.

 

[CarlHungus]

 

[WIBadger]

It think it probably will sell out. But if not it'll be really close with seats here or there that aren't sold so you won't be able to tell

 

[beentherebefore]

There should be 61,500. If that many attended last year, then the same should this year since the temperature will be about 15 to 20 degrees cooler than it was last year. Plus, fireworks and wall of fire.

 

[SpokaneCY]

60,001

$1.

 

[CyValley]

Oh, man, I had forgotten about the temperature at last year's UNI game. Brutal.

I'm surprised that what we believe is a stratospheric enthusiasm for the new staff doesn't translate to a sell out three days before kickoff. Maybe we all talk to each other too much, we reinforce in each other a conventional wisdom that isn't supported by fact?
