Attendance estimates?
- Thread starter DJ Spanky
- Start date
our side is 90% full 100, 200 and 300s. End zone and half of their side are our fans as well.
Who was the guy who created 10 accounts just to claim the stadium would be empty?
He's our resident nutcase who stalks NUTS and others, and loves to grind his axe about attendance. He has had many, many names, all of which have been banned for his obnoxious behavior. He had 16 user ID's banned over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and another 6 or so banned the last 2 days.
why would anybody go through all that just to troll? Must be a real nut job
Not even close. Upper deck completely empty on one side. Maybe 32k.
Other local colleges in Bowls...
Fenway Bowl - BC v. SMU had 16,238 earlier today.
Syracuse v. USF - had 20,711 at the RoofClaim.com Boca Raton Bowl last Thursday
Above per ESPN box score statistics
finally got a pretty good shot of the stadium on TV- and it looks damn good- knowing that Miami brought almost no one- we have at least 35k there ourselves
Stands look completely red and all but the upper pretty much full

He's sitting in all those "empty" seats
A decent turnout from Rutgers as is usual in most of our past bowl game appearances.
That’s not too shabby at all. For a midday game on Thursday?!?
I think Yankee Stadium only holds 44k. I was there. Our side was pretty good but maybe 30-32k actual in the stands. Miami side was bare as expected.
I thought the crowd was excellent for a northeast bowl game. Yankees had to be pleased with the turnout.
On a side note - we had never been to the Pin Stripe bowl. We sprung for a suite to have access to an inside area with the kids. Picked home plate section (cheapest suite tickets) and I expected the view and experience to be awful based on the comments on here but was pleasantly surprised by both. Game was a lot of fun. My boys loved it.

I actually thought Miami's attendance wasn't that bad; you can tell there were a number of Rutgers fans on the 1st base side but Miami had more fans than I thought they would. We had some in the upper deck; there was absolutely no one in the upper deck on the Miami side.

This and from what I saw in the stadium it was 31k Rutgers fans and maybe 4k Miami fans.
This thread:
Poll: Who will bring more fans to the Pinstripe Bowl?
He's had over 35 ID's banned since he posted that thread.
You would be incorrect.
It goes without saying that there's a huge temptation for everyone to exaggerate when it comes to attendance at sporting events. Each Rutgers AND Miami did a GREAT job with attendance at the Pinstripe Bowl. Rather than exaggerate or denigrate, we should take pride in what we each accomplished in attracting ~35K attendees to a largely-inconsequential bowl game in the northeast in late-December with respective 6-6 and 7-5 records. For what it's worth, I'd guess that ~20-30% of attendees were Miami supporters (of those ~50% local UM students/alums and friends/family, ~30% hardcore supporters from elsewhere (most dressed like they were about to depart on an Artic expedition) and ~20% bandwagon fans still nostalgic for the Canes 80s-swagger)). Assuming the gate was truly ~35K, Rutgers delivered ~25-28K Loyal Sons, with Miami producing another ~7-10K.
Wrong
The entire 3rd base side - 100, 200, 300 levels were full of Rutgers fans.
The Miami side on 1st base side had a sparse showing in most of the 100 and 200 levels and there were pockets of RU fans over there. 300 level on Miami side closed off due to no interest.
Total BS fantasy anyone saying Miami had 10k fans at the Stadium today.
RU side 100s and 200s and 300s was completely sold out (400s not opened).
Audi Yankees Club 100% Rutgers and oversold. Endzone was 90% RU. Miami Sideline 30% RU.
35k is accurate.

FWIW, some other Pinstripe crowds (which all stink compared to us):
Indiana
Cuse
Michigan State (absolutely most pathetic bowl crowd I’ve ever seen, MAC teams bring more to their bowls)

from where we sat , the field looked great, crowd was great ,grass held up great and we would all go again. one of the best experiences at a RU football game.
I was there.
Ed needs new eyeglasses. Purple Haze BS.
The picture two Posts above shows it all…Rutgers takeover of Yankee Stadium.
Were you there? Did you walk around Yankee Stadium before and after the game?
Did you notice the Miami fans sprinkled throughout the stadium?
Yes, the Rutgers fans in attendance were awesome, but there was more than 4k
Miami fans. Sorry.
Lol, another guy who wasn't there.
I predicted 40-45K with 20K RU fans. Obviously, I fell short on total attendance (35K) but there can be no question that the people that pay attention to these things, will be impressed with RU's turnout.
Quick Lane Bowl which is an indoor stadium and had two somewhat local teams only did 28K. I think when all is said and done, the Pinstripe Bowl will make the top half of bowl attendance.
While not nearly on the same level as RU, I thought Miami did a pretty decent job with turnout. I would have liked them to bring more but it wasn't terrible by any means.

Rutgers did an AWESOME job attendance wise.
Was there and walked around the whole stadium before and after. No way there were more than 4K Miami fans.
Maybe 95% RU on the RU sidelines and at the RU bars. There were more Miami fans than most give credit here. I would say at least 5k Miami / Miami Walmart fans. To say you walked around and there were no Miami fans after the game is dumb. They all left with 7 minutes to go.
