do we have an official attendance count for last week's aggie/eagle game? Still has zero on our site. It should have been close to a sellout if not one. People were everywhere |

People were everywhere i agree. that's why i don't understand why there's no official attendance count yet. had to have "at least" 20k folks there but probably more. i need to contact aggie/rattler, he tends know how stuff like this works... |

And you are wrong for the 4th consecutive year. Go back and re read what you sent.. then highlight where you need a game ticket. |

OFFICIAL ATTENDANCE FIGURES includes:
>Season tickets sold per game;
>Complimentary season tickets issued (usually to sponsors);
>Single-game tickets sold;
>Complimentary single-game tickets issued;
>Students admitted with valid IDs;
>Band members and cheerleaders in uniform;
TURNSTILE COUNTS or SCAN COUNTS include:
>Every ticketed person that comes through the turnstile whose ticket barcode is scanned or ticket stub is torn;
>Every student admitted with a valid ID through a turnstile;
>Every band member and cheerleader in uniform admitted through a turnstile;
Official Attendance figures are universally used for sporting events, but do not reflect how many people are at a sporting event. Unused tickets are included in this figure.
Turnstile/Scan Counts are rarely published, but the do reflect how many fans are in attendance at sporting events. The ticketholder has to be at the event to be included in this count. |

That's the Aggie Livewires gig...and I was told that they aren't like they used to be... To be frank, most of these college kids don't follow college sports and aren't going to frequent sporting events unless there's some kind of big block party atmosphere going down on site. Nowadays, it's pretty much all about being cool, getting as many people as possible to follow you on Instagram or Tik Toc, and becoming an "influencer" on social media, whatever the hell that is. This current generation didn’t raise themselves, it honestly comes back to them not seeing HBCU athletics on the same level as the rest of D1. Anyone born & raised in the 90s or later saw HBCUs be the doormat and warmup game for their local flagship (who is also probably their favorite CFB program). We hardly saw HBCU guys go to the league and maybe one of them became a household name in the NFL (Air McNair). You can almost say the exact same thing about academics, HBCUs became a stepping stone to PWIs in sports and education. It’s changed slightly in recent years but there is still a long way to go before we see sold out HBCU stadiums on a weekly basis. |

Let get a few thing straight about college sports in this modern era. The days of “packed” stadiums are over. Especially for the small non FBS schools. It’s a nice to have…but there are way too many options. Hell, I remember a day when the only way you could see NCAT football was to show up at the stadium or travel to an away game. Not anymore…you can catch every game, home or away from the palm of you hand if you wish.
Attendance is a non factor.

>I don't know if any NCAA policy addresses whether the figure has to be made public. (All of our major pro sports leagues have uniform policies to publish attendance figures.) |

Disappointed, but not surprised. Probably due more to the thunderstorms forecast. Y'all know how your people are...especially the women. |

With Winston-Salem State coming up next season, I'll be flabbergasted if we have tickets to sell on Game Week. |
