46001.5 One of Burrito's ex-girlfriends makes a stop at the Wal-mart donut counter on the way to the game.
So they are no longer mailing her paycheck?
Not quite sure this one is gonna be as packed as the Utah game. Just a hunch.

Haha probably not but I went high. Probably will be 42,500
This is good.
I'll be interested to see if UNCo is able to cause a bump of a couple thousand local fans who don't normally go to CU games. Would be good if that was a decent enough draw where it could be the "go to" when CU has a one-off home slot it needs to fill. I'd rather have that body bag money support the Bears' program than some random FCS - especially if the game draws better for CU anyway.
We'll see about the student section, but I'm not expecting the rest of the crowd to look larger than last year's opener. Season ticket and student sports pass increases will account for most of the difference in the announced numbers this week and next compared to last year. The map still has a ton of seats available.
44,534
I should start closing entries before Howell posts the mid-week update.
Like he's the unquestioned authority on CU athletics ...
The Wednesday update he gets from CU does make guessing a lot easier.Like he's the unquestioned authority on CU athletics ...
Your number is 43,822. Average of 31 guesses was 43,490. So nice job, everyone.
@sliderNcider was the closest - off by just 72.

That's a damn good guess! I was close with 42,500, that's a good turnout!
I'd put the actual turnout at close to last year's opener. The number was bigger mostly due to season tickets and student sports passes being up this year.

Ah. Yeah, seemed a little thin at the stadium.

The lambs drew 27K in their shiny new, on campus stadium. Some things never change.
Was actually impressed with the crowd in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. Filled in decently and stuck around late against a non exciting opponent.

Saw that. They only go for the beer too.
Everyone knows Football is over after the Superbowl, so that's a pretty good number for csu!
What are the odds that before the end of this season they have a game with less than 20k? It may never get announced because the AD would pad the house to avoid the embarrassment but CSU fans are going to be CSU fans, a new stadium doesn't change that.

Nobody packs the house like the best college team in the state! Heard the big 10 was ready to offer them like 100 million to join their conference.
