What record did that BC game in '93 break? There were a handful of RU games at Giants Stadium before 1993 that drew far more than 37K.

Giants Stadium was the home field of Rutgers in 1993 while the new stadium was being built. If you consider all Giants Stadium games Rutgers home games, and not neutral site games, then:

64,790 September 2, 1977: Penn State 45 Rutgers 7 @ Giants Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ
42,328 October 23, 1976: Rutgers 47 Columbia 0 @ Giants Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ

Well aware and gotcha. So listing the BC game is kind of a technicality.
