Quarterfinal attendance

If you feel the need to needle lakes, do it in a pm or take it to that toilet cs.com. It makes you look like a whiney douche.

If you are a whiney douche...carry on.

So Bison fans can raz other fans up (check out 26 in the basketball thread...talk about a douche), but no one can do it to Bison fans. Whatever.

Is SHSU under-reported? The stands looked pretty full, and I know the stadium is smaller, but it appeared to have more than 9k there.

Apologies to my fellow Griz fans, as a stomach flu yesterday kept us from being a more even 23,050!

Sam always over-reports during the regular season, but obviously is way-underreporting now in the playoffs. The stadium seats 14K. A pan of the stadium looked nearly full on TV. I suspect there is someting going on here. I would hope that NCAA representatives would do a little auditing. Looks like NDSU and Montana are reporting accurately, or pretty close after watching their games on TV/Internet.

Maine @ GSU ATTENDANCE: 12,886

Having been one of "the more than 12,886" that number is a joke!

I am pretty certain that GSU and other SoCon teams do not include students in their playoff attendance figures, and never have, I could be wrong but that is my observation over the years.

18,111?? I thought sro was going for 50 bucks on craigslist as reported by Lakes, and yet the dome was not a complete sellout? I guess for some Bison fans the NDSU-ASU basketball game was more important.

Standing room only were the only tickets left that were available to the general public. The Gold Star Marching Band etc. etc. are not counted in the final total.

NDSU total attendance 2011: 145,176*
UND total attendance 2011: 47,045

*NDSU vs. GSU not included in totals

Sam underreports all year.

Why are we even comparing Sam to places like NDSU and UM? SHSU has Texas A&M 50 miles away and the 4th largest city 30 miles away. What does Missoula have within 300 miles?

Reverse our geographical locations, Sam would probably be pulling in a ton more too. It's just what happens when you are vs. you aren't the only game around.

There is also about 1/10th of the population to choose from. It's all relative, bro.
