Attendance yesterday.

I was honestly impressed that the student section stuck it out for as long as they did. We certainly looked better than the rest of the stadium at halftime. After that, the whole stadium seemed to clear out.

Only notceable empty seats were a few corners of the upper deck. 90k seems about right. Half left at halftime. Another 70% of the remainder immediately left when the rain the hit. Only a few of us stayed through the rain.

Student section was never packed full, and pretty much half empty after halftime. I was in section C, adjacent to the student section on the goal line. I had a good view.

Looking across the way from U4 GG row 2, I could see lots of empty seats scattered in the lower and upper levels, from goal line to goal line...not single seats but multiple seats together. Sometimes the empty red seats don't stand out among people wearing red...not like the silver bleachers...but if you looked you could see a lot of them.

I'd estimate 90,000 as nearly all the seats were full around us. There definitely were 2-3 empty seats per row and people were spreading out a bit.

We left a the beginning of the 3rd for my Dad's health. He tried to escape the heat by going under the stands; however, the cigarette smoke was too much for him to handle after too long.

My wife and daughter sat in the Ivory club after receiving 2 free tickets. They wanted to stay longer for some reason (free food, A/C, 25 yard line seats).
