Couldn't make the game. Anyone know the attendance?

...which means they'll actually announce it around 9,500.

From what I could see, the place looked pretty well packed. I'd agree with the estimate given above, and even with the strange seeming discrepancy between percieved numbers and announced numbers, I have no doubt we'll pass the NCAA's minimum numbers by a good amount.

9500, no way there was that few. did they only count the people who entered through one gate? WTF!

It was a joke.

Not too bad for a town that has only 30,000 people. Toledo has over 600,000 people and they only had 20,000 at their game last week.

And as the weeks go it will be less and less until their final game.

A glance around the MAC shows crowds of 20,000 and over at CMU, WMU and KSU. BG doesn't even get 15,000. You're not even averaging 14,000 this year (your own stats say so) and with one game to go and you won't get over that mark with the Miami game. Looks like some NCAA penalties headed BG's way.

We will worry about our attendance figures, you should worry about beating us sooner or later. BG 21 OU 9.

we need about 3,500 vs. miami to get a 15,000 average for the year. I think we'll get it.

You're really going out on a limb there huh Sville?

How many times do you need to be told that the Wisconsin game counts as a home game? What we average at the Doyt is irrelevant.
