I said 5800 if we lost but someone gave me a hard time...I think Reality Check but not sure why? 15873 was official attendance. I think that’s a stretch but well over 5800. This week will be in the 10k range maybe less. Losing to an 0-3 team was a gut shot.

Well I’ll give you over 5800 but 15,000 no way! I doubt even 10,000...maybe season tix sold but do they do a gate count or simply tix sold?
I say less than 10k simply seeing the stands on tv.

While I hoped they have changed it when I was in school & students got in for free they were using hand counters. While I don't think a lot of students left & came back in if they did they were counted again until the start of 3rd quarter when they quit counting. EMU has for years been the biggest fraud in the NCAA in attendance figures as the school's soft drink supplier buys tickets @ EMU's request & then gives them away during the season. It was designed to hide the amount of money they spend on athletics.

I doubt it was 15K, but it was a really nice crowd for the questionable weather forecast. I'll take it, as normally I think there are a lot more there than what the official count comes up with.

Eastern cannot give away tickets to any athletic contest they hold on campus. The last football game I attended there I swear we had more fans there than Eastern if you don't count the band.

It was a good crowd. 13-15,000.

About 8500 tickets collected at the gate, including students entering on ID.
This is comparable to recent family weekend crowds.
