I love this place. Enjoy the games tonight girls.

Man, it's easy too look at the rows and tell they're half full in most places. The bottom level is probably 75% to 80% full but the 2nd and top tier are much worse than that. The top level is at best 33% full. Then you've got those ridiculous tarps to boot.

For the amount of time you spend on our board, I think it's safe to say you wish SDSU was in the American. Unfortunately, you'll be stuck in the roller coaster MWC rising and falling with the peaks and valleys of Boise State's football program.

Exactly. So by that math, there are 50k in seats. Thanks for doing the calculation for us though.

Attendance on par with UCONN despite these records the past 5 years:

SDSU: 46-21
UCONN: 19-42

Nah man, I just enjoy the good conversation, as well as the ridiculousness. I would be happy to join historically horrendous programs like Temple, Tulane, and SMU if the money was right. Alas, it is not, and does not appear that it will be. We all have a price though.

Well, what we averaged last year was close to the capacity of UCONNs stadium. Furthermore, I have been to your games during your banner year, and know for a fact, your statement is false.

Anyway, gotta run. I actually got sucked into "attendance smack" when I was not even trying to "talk smack." Well played by many here.

It will be a hot night in Boca.

Will probably have over 50k for the Boise game. I assume we'll average about 42k this year.

So are we talking butts in seats or reported? Seems like you've been cooking the books pretty good over there.

"According to the city, SDSU averaged 25,617 fans through the turnstile for its six games last season at Qualcomm Stadium, well short of the 37,289 announced attendance that is generally cited as the team’s average."

"The highest actual average attendance for SDSU football over the past seven seasons was 28,274 in 2011, and the team has drawn crowds of more than 30,000 to exactly one-fourth of the 44 home games it has played in that time."

See how easy attendance smack is...

Here is a picture of the attendance for a game that Acee asserts is less than half-full. 70k seat stadium. You be the judge.

https://twitter.com/AKH_blog

Agreed, less than half

Ha!

What? I see tarped off seats, an empty ring and 40-45% fan density in the bottom bowl

I see a lot of blue in those seats.

Sure, a sprinkling, in a 70k stadium. Nobody is arguing that the Q is not a cavernous dump.

Look at this link. You actually can see the funny argument, between the blogger and the writer.

https://twitter.com/AKH_blog/status/844686501946417152

Bottom line, we are well attended for a G5 program. Possibly only less than ECU and BYU.

Look at this link. This is for the Home Opener. Keep in mind, the top Bowl is about 12k seats. Thus, it appears that if you include Students, there are only about 12k to 15k left in a 70,000 seat stadium.

Doesn't help your case when the first picture shows 20 empty seats immediately in front of the camera.

And despite our horrendous past, we've still ended up in a better conference than you with more national relevance over the last couple seasons. Now that our administration has their **** together I guess we'll finally leave programs like yours in the dust. Can't believe it took us this long either.

Like I said, 50k in a 70k stadium. It is only about 2/3 full. Point is, the article is bunk.

That's incredible attendance for a G4 conference member! Outperformance, no matter what your level, can be very fulfilling.

Don't think so. Again, good attendance last year, and even better this year. Things are getting better.

Don't worry, we were horrible from 1994 until 2009. UCONN, Tulane, and SMU can all get it together.

Honestly I was super impressed with thousands and thousands of UCF fans dressing up as aluminum. You guys really did a good job of making everyone think it was empty. Must be a Disney trick.

Ha. Temple could never leave SDSU in the dust. That is just pure comedy. See, this is why I come here. For funny stuff like that.

Houston is a good program. UCF and USF are close, and have great potential. Hell, even SMU could be great if they put it together. But Temple? Come on dude. You are stuck in inner-city Philly, with minimal resources, minimal fanbase, and not a solid recruiting base. The last two seasons have been your peak. Enjoy 6-6 this year and in perpetuity.

50% at best. Look at all the open seats per row. The only reason it looks as good as it does is because everybody is spread out so much.

Pennsylvania and New Jersey are both solid recruiting states. Minimal resources? We have athletic facilities competitive with the top of our conference and head and shoulders above most of the G4. Temple was paying Matt Rhule probably double what you pay your coach.

Back to back ranked seasons, two division titles and a conference championship. It's a fail troll job to bring up UCF, USF, and SMU who haven't touched that success over the past two years. Must be frustrating when a school that got kicked out of the Big East a little over a decade ago and almost cut their football program is in a better position than you. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
