What is the capacity now? That will be it, maybe sneak a few more in.
Thread, you should read it.
If we cram 62,000 people in Folsom we are gonna have a bad time.

Nice, like an “exclusive” night club with a dress code. “You can wear whatever color you want, as long as it isn’t red (anywhere on any article of clothing)” states the sign at each gate. “Your ticket is no good here!” is the response given to those in red.
The “30,000” invading Nubbins are now on the outside looking in, while Buffs fans party on...
You can, but you'll be under by a lot

Lol. That would be kind cool. Jerry World is a fun stadium. Nola would be fun too.

Interesting point brought up on the 247 board. Since this game was formerly held the day after Thanksgiving, only 4,000 or so students would be in attendance because many would head home for the weekend. This would leave 6,000 or so tickets up for grabs for CU alums or the general public, which the nubs would snatch up. Since that is not the case this year, the 10,000-11,000 CU students will keep thousands of nubs from getting tickets.
Sort of, but a lot of students used to come back for the game until the last couple of years in the big 12

Whoops. Didn’t see the last one. Sorry. 53728.
Wait you really guessed the exact same number by accident? That's wild.

It is both wild & true. I guessed 53K because my oldest works for CU AD in Guest Relations & she told me they sold that many & I added 28 because Saturday is my 28th wedding anniversary, and yes we are celebrating by attending the game

Longtime lurker but I had to comment.
Lengthy but important.
Sorry for the bad news. The stadium will be almost all Nebraska fans. Why? Simple Math.
As we know 100% of Nub fans have their grandmother thrown down stairs at games in Boulder. And we cannot doubt the veracity of Nebraska fan because “he was there and totally saw it happen”
With a population of 1.9M and with current demographics you are looking at over 100,000 women over 75. Assuming a 50% grandmother rate. We are looking at more than 50k grandmothers that need to get thrown down stairs; in short our entire stadium capacity will need to be Nebraska grandmothers. We do need to hold some some seats for CU grandmother throwers.
Assuming that unruly CU fan can throw maybe 4 grandmothers a minute, with breaks and fatigue, you are looking at maybe 500 grandmothers tossed during the game at best. So we need 100 CU fans at minimum. Add some support staff to get grandmother organized and to the steps, I think we need to budget maybe 500 people split between Designated Grandmother Throwers and thrower support staff.
Doesn’t even include seats for NU fan to witness the throwing but maybe we can use webcams or something.
So my call is
52,500 Nebraska Grandmothers
500 CU fans
As an alternative maybe we could borrow airport stairs from DIA or something and setup Temporary Nebraska Grandmother Throwing Stations (TNGTS?) all around the stadium.
Just sayin

Many thanks.
On a side note. This is also a reason to not play that often. We would risk exhausting the supply of grandmothers (aka the overfishing equivalent to grandmother throwing). We do need to allow time for the Nebraska Grandmother population to replenish. We need to maintain a sustainable population.
Solid first post, but....
You forgot extra CU fans to chuck piss balloons, give beer showers, and throw nail-filled marshmallows. You're asking an awful lot of those 500 fans to throw that many grannies down the stairs, AND complete those other tasks.
You need to go back and check your math.
