Guess the Attendance: NDSU

[StormTrooper]

We are BACK for another season.
Unlike last year, when this became a fairly predictable exercise, this year's season opener is not sold out.
Large swaths of unsold $185 tickets in the 200 level on the east side, and a fair number on the west side at over $300.
These prices are absolutely insane for a non-conference game.
We've seen in the past that Thursday night games are a tough sell for families, old folks, or people living far away.
My gut tells me this one doesn't sell out.

Last year's attendances ranged from 52,725 to 54,032. The 2022 (Friday night) season opener against TCU was 47,868.
I think we just about split the difference on this one. What say you?

Sellout announced. Someone buys up remaining tickets to keep the Sanders era sellout streak alive.

Trolling a rival's board is one thing. Trolling the "Guess the Attendance" thread is next level.

It's pretty clear to me that the "dynamic pricing" isn't dynamic enough. The seats are overpriced for a substandard opponent on a Thursday night.

Yeah I looked last week & it was $330/ticket, sorry not doing that against an FCS team. Nebraska? Abso-****ing-lutely.

Supposedly, 10,000 ND fans are coming to the game.

We are saying all the right things, but I still worry about being overconfident. I much prefer "walk softly and carry a big stick"

They likely will be expecting a lot of runs through Seaton's gap, so 1st play is a run on the right side, with Shedeur having the option to switch to a long pass if he sees the defense looks right.

I think they stay close in the 1st half, lose 42 - 18. Go Buffs.

This is NOT who CU is. CU is the evil empire, the bully, the show boating, piss balloon throwing arrogant bastages from Boulder and we own it and love it.

49,438 was the number. About what I thought. Crowd was loud and the stripe-out actually looked good on TV.
