Title: Kentucky College Gameday
Post by: Mikeyis4dcats on February 15, 2010, 08:48:25 AM
I read somewhere last week that (real) UK was trying to get 23,000 to attend Gameday.   Anyone know if they succeeded?

Always wondered how you can "sell out" a free, non-ticketed event.  Unless they charged or did giveaway some sort of tickets.

I thought I saw on sports center that the number was 22K and change.  Either way, if the previous record was shattered by us with 8k, needless to say the UK record will last for quite a while.

Syracuse might break it in a couple weeks vs nova, they have enough room in the carrier dome

Good point.  ESPN radio said yesterday that 'cuse had 33k+ watching them lose this weekend.  They said it was the most fans to watch a D1 BB game this season.
