Title: Spring game attencance is all screwed up.
Post by: CatWoman on April 22, 2007, 11:49:30 AM
I would SWEAR there were 25,000 to 30,000. The "official" numbers say 16, 000+. (NO WAY)Someone on GP board said the numbers are ONLY reflected by the actual tickets sold. And there were alot of freebies given. Doesn't the stupid turnstyles give a number count? Also, are the season ticket holders under the category of "free tickets"?   :confused:

there were no turnstiles at the gate I entered.   I guestimated around 22,000 based on the capacity of the stadium and that the lower bowl was about 70% full

Wasn't there, but it "sounded" like 30,000+ on the radio.  I'm gonna go with that number.

Still at least twice as effective as the circus ku held in that empty stadium.

I don't remember any ku fans touting their spring game attendance numbers. We know it sucks. But our actual game attendance is where it should be and rising.

I just think the massive dropoff for Ksu from last year is humorous. Especially after all the 'we'll have 30k+ easy' smack that I've read.

Most people were saying around 20-25,000.  Sounds like that's about how many people were actually there, unlike what is being reported.

Again, the 16,732 was tickets sold, it didn't count the people who got in free.  All season ticket holders got a free ticket for example.

"30K easy" smack, that's smack, a prediction is smack??

16k is the official number of attendance. Any other number is speculative.

BYU 16,752

Damn, you're a dumbass.



Goldy, there were more than 16,000 there, it's really not that hard to understand.  This isn't a ku Al Bohl guess, it was over 16,000 paid, plus several more thousand at least not paid.

I admit, it was very non ku football Saturday like, where every freebie, kid walking up in his Pop Warner jersey and getting in free, band day etc. etc. is counted in the attendance.

Now, if only you could cram 13,000 into that sh*thole you call Bramlage, maybe Huggins would have stuck around for another year or two.

I guess you need another lesson on how it took those HUGE basketball fans at ku FOUR years to sell out Allen Fieldhouse during Larry Brown's tenure.

Plus, at KSU it's just a matter of people not using their tickets, the money was in the bank.  But, you're too big of a dumbass to understand that.

Yeah, Goldy . . . those press box guesses at ku to give to the SID, very well thought out guesses.

I remember reading the minutes of the now defunct ku athletic board a couple of years ago, when Lew couldn't tell them what the actual football attendance was at ku for a series of games.

ku Football:  No winning conference seasons since 1995.

Actually everyone calls it Bramlage.  craphole/No; Mausoleum/Yes

It's a Spring practice, I am actually happy for the people that have more to do with their lives than go and watch a terrible team scrimmage against eachother.

That's bull@#%$. Don't talk it unless you were there. Maybe what you saw was before the game, and all the people weren't there yet. The North endzone was empty. Not the East side. Like he said, the lower bowl was 70% full. How is it, all the friggen sqwaKSU "pretend" to know something that they don't? And ask your ku buddy flying his stinking ku flag, WHY IN THE HELL" is he at the KANSAS STATE SPRING GAME?????? Wanna fly a ku flag, he needs to go to his OWN spring game.

It could be written that way. But in case you didn't know.. This is an internet message board. Thus, I don't care all that much. My post still made sense while kstate16's didn't. Please head over to the basketball board and help your buddies BMW and Coolhawks on their grammar. Believe me, they need it more than anyone else.

There is also a difference between 1983 and 2007.  Yet, you seem to find it appropriate to date back almost 25 years in order to justify your school's poor attendance.
