Anyone know the attendance # from the game?

So how was the turnout?? Enthusiastic crowd? It was hard to tell from the computer WMBD broadcast.

8300

yeah, it didn't seem like there was a lot there from the student section, 6, and I think 23 were mostly empty, but I think people were going for the sides more than the ends.

But the crowd was great, especially when it need to be. They were really loud and the student section, especially in the second, led the cheerleaders, not the other way around, it was great.

Official attendance-- 8,304


The usual crowds are announced a little larger than they really are because they include season-ticketholders who miss the game. But since this game didn't include any season-ticketholders, the 8,304 was the actual crowd, and thus was a little smaller than usually gets reported with a crowd like tonight's.

But it was the most raucous crowd of the season.

HAHAHa yeah, I stand over by the visitors bench, so I can give them a hard time. Anyway, teh cheerleaders are on the other side of the band, and my side of the students will start up a chant a little before the cheerleaders and then we make the cheerleaders switch to our chant.

But yeah, the crowd wasn't into it when we didn't have a lead, they were a non factor completely, however, once we go the lead back after the half they got REALLY loud!

I can't believe the 8300 number... it had to be more like 9500 or 10k... only seats I saw open were total nosebleed. It was a REALLY loud crowd.

Not to mention, the band got to play every opportunity the whole game. No Civic Center music other than a couple songs before the game. I'm sure that made the band members happy.
