[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Attendance? Over 5,000?

Officially 5611.

So close to a sell out!

[Arkpony]

Increased numbers possibly due to the return of Foster?

[Shetland]

There was maybe 1800 people there. Guess which section had the poorest attendance?

[skyscraper]

lol at the reported attendance numbers.
Last night was the 1,500.

All that "official" attendance figure does is tell you we should have somewhere near that many in attendance vs TCU
