Perdictions for ISU's Attendence at the Alamo Bowl?

[BCClone]

Here's a zoomed in shot of one section of the Memphis side of the stadium (I took it from the ISU side of the stadium). That's a very heavy presence of ISU fans on the Memphis side. Also there were ISU fans mixed in there that weren't wearing red. I think it's very easy to underestimate the number of ISU fans at the game. I took closeup pictures of the entire Memphis side of the field and it was pretty much the same as below.

From way up in the air the Memphis side looks purple (blue with red mixed in) but actually had a lot of ISU fans on the Memphis side of the field. My pictures of the ISU side of the field looks totally red with some small areas looking purple.

From looking at actual closeup pictures of the stands and seeing the ISU crowd that we had at the pre-game rally at the baseball stadium, I tend to agree with Jamie and Matt that the ISU crowd would be about 30,000 if not more. And yes, I am an engineer, that's why I took zoomed in photos of the crowd at seating level.

Is that the dumb hawk fans in the bottom left? Always one or two dorks who show up in hawk stuff.

I went back to my original photo and zoomed in on the guy. He's wearing a Pittsburg Steelers jacket. Funny thing how hok stuff resembles Steelers stuff! **** the hoks.

I'm a bit intrigued by the ISU letterman sitting near the center of the picture. He looks familiar but I can't really identify him.

You seem to underestimate and that makes me nervous if you had any hand in building anything that I rely on - like planes, cars, roads, buildings.... Hopefully you're an IE so it doesn't have any impact on anyone's actual lives.

Sorry to the REAL imaginary engineers on this board!

Not quite right - you want your engineers to have sufficient skepticism and plan accordingly. Think Factors of Safety on your structural elements, etcetera. An appropriate level of skepticism is necessary and good.

I'm a real engineer and no offense taken.
I was also the Chief Structural Engineer of the Alamodome so if you are going to the game, rest assured there is adequate levels of safety factor on the 378 ft. long x 50 ft. deep trusses over your head. And lots of rebar in the four vertical 300 ft. tall masts:

So, could it legitimately be up to 30k ISU fans in the stadium?

What's a perdiction?

The answer to this question is what you're about to read, and is the answer I'm about to give.

An engineer said the same thing after constructing this.

ISU sections are bottom and right. WSU top and left. These are third party reseller tickets available.

Colored seats are the ones available or taken?

Gray means unavailable. Everything else is what is remaining.

 

[Remo Gaggi]

I'm guessing 30,000. I'll be seeing many of you on I-35.

That completely changed how I was looking at it. Went from surprised to impressed

Looks like the biggest differences are endzones & upper deck sidelines - ISU's are practically gone, and there are tons left on the WSU side. I'm guessing we'll have quite a few fans in enemy territory just based on what's left & the cost of each.

[aeroclone]

Wow, looks like a pretty big price gap between the WSU and ISU sides. I'm seeing like a 2x to 3x premium for ISU sections.

Wow, looks like a pretty big price gap between the WVU and ISU sides. I'm seeing like a 2x to 3x premium for ISU sections.

How did West Virginia sneak into this game?

 

[IASTATE07]

How did West Virginia sneak into this game?

They got tagged in. Seems a little unfair 2 on 1.

 

[EJ4CY]

So is this how the seats are allocated?

Yes
