Guess the Attendance: Nebraska

[StormTrooper]

Ok, we know it's sold out. But how high is the announced number gonna be?
Since the 2014 capacity change (to 50,183 down from 53,613), there has only been one sellout: Utah in 2016, at 52,301.
However, last year's ASU game, despite not quite selling out, had a higher attendance of 52,681 because of an increase in student sports pass sales of over a thousand. This year seems to have a similar number of sports passes sold to last year.
I don't think the all-time record of 54,972 from the 2005 RMS will be beaten, because the stadium is 3500 dang seats smaller now, but this might be the largest SRO crowd since 62-36, which was nearly 3,000 over the pre-club level capacity of 50,942.

Previous Nebraska games (relative to capacity at the time):
2009: 52,817 (-933)
2007: 51,403 (-2347)
2005: 54,841 (+1091)
2003: 53,434 (-316)
2001: 53,790 (+2848)

I'll start the bidding at 53,635

 

[SpacemanSpiff]

Seems obvious. 56,236

I'll take the Utah 2016 attendance here 52,301.

I was wondering how people were going to work that in.

[Gary Indiana]

53,555, but that number will drop throughout the game as grannies begin to succumb to their injuries.

That’s what she said!

 

[jizzrag85]

My prediction? I go 2-0 in this young season. Buffs win and some grannies need a few stitches.

I’m going 52,725.

52,642.

Ten years from now, one million Nebraskans tell stories about the abuse they personally took or witnessed at this game.

I hope so and I hope they remember me. “It was that short guy with tattoos, cargos and a bad attitude. **** him!”

I’m coming for you Nubs.

You guys just be careful. Folsom and the city of boulder could flood due to the quantity of fusker tears. I may have to get start packing up, and getting ready to leave for higher ground.

Attendance will be whatever capacity is at Folsom +2500, because they need to account for some Husker fans that need two seats.

 

[manhattanbuff]

@SeanMSan feeling extra spicy today. The takedowns of nuh fans have been hate filled!
