Well no tickets were sold so it would be a rough estimate from any source that gave the number.

Looked like about 85-90k.

I counted to 87,416 but I didn't finish before the game ended. Still had a couple a few more sections to go so the number should be a bit higher. I'll try to count faster next time.

Seriously, why does that stuff bother you so much ? Who cares ? Sure,they probably embellished them some. May have had closer to 80-85,000 than 92,000 but that's a helluva lot. Not my bag,but more power to 'em.

I wasn't there, but from what I hear, if all the tailgaters had gone inside, it would have been more than full.

I was there. Lower levels all full. Upper in North Endzone was full. Upper in South Endzone was nearly full (prob 70%). East & West upper decks were also nearly full but not quite (80%).

I doubt it was 92K. I told my wife with about 3 minutes left that I thought they had 85,000 at kick-off and 8,500 at end of game, so I'll go with 85K.

And? Who cares?

Is it an NCAA violation to misreport the spring game attendance?

It doesn't matter to anyone else, but I promise you that if any other school had more than we did for our Spring game, the first thing to be posted would have been how such and such school had more at their spring game than Bama.

Dude, it's the new Bump(saban) rule if you inflate your Spring game stats to help in recruiting, it's a secondary
