Looks like it's gonna be a big crowd

Most traffic I've seen getting into the RAC on a long time.

 

[The Evil Empire 88]

Agree. Good crowd.

There is a little electricity in the air.

Twitter report from Carino said 6k tix have been sold for the game. With walkups it could be close to a sellout.

 

[LevaosLectures]

Awesome atmosphere in here

 

[Caliknight]

Looks packed.

 

[nikoru09]

looked empty with seven minutes to game

 

[Degaz-RU]

I estimate 6,500

Are you blind

You literally said the opposite thing of the majority of the posters here

 

[RCLEO1]

It's packed and loud, I would estimate 6500 plus

 

[bac2therac]

7k but team has taken crowd out of it

 

[RU at the shore]

looked empty with seven minutes to game

Actually, announcers said 7 minutes to game and then showed an empty stadium in what was clearly pretaped footage

 

[Degaz-RU]

Yeah I think 7,000. And not a lot of PSU fans.

It's cool seeing the student section almost completely full. Of course, it's mostly general public rather than students, but who cares?

Are you blind

The cameras showed an empty arena three minutes before tipoff, with the announcers talking in the present tense. The problem was that the footage they showed was from an hour before the game.

 

[RU848789]

Looks close to 7K...need to play better though...

 

[RUClassof67]

Official Box score says 6079.

[bac2therac]

looked like more

 

[RUBand]

Excellent crowd and atmosphere

 

[rufeelinit]

If the official capacity is about 8500 I would have thought at least 6700.

 

[soundcrib]

We showed up. The team did not.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

If the official capacity is about 8500 I would have thought at least 6700.

Capacity is no more than 8,000 now. It seemed like more than 6,000 to me Guess they didn't pad the attendance figures today.

I liked the turnout, but I feel like the atmosphere could've been even better. Obviously the students were less due to winter break, but that is the point. It is always the students bringing the energy (including football games). It doesn't even have to be screaming. Just the standard "Defense" chants or rhythmic clapping would be nice from some of the other fans. We should be trying to pick them up any small reason we get, instead of the other way around and wait for a 10-0 run or something like that. I guess we'll get there eventually, especially when school is back in session.

It makes you wonder whether it could have the opposite effect. A team that finally has a decent turnout for once and now you have the pressure to make your fans happy, but instead of constant encouragement, you get more often the reactionary, "awww" when shots are missed.

The offense was just so bad yesterday.
