Did student section sellout for psu game

Athletic tweeted late Wednesday that there were "limited tickets still available". That's the last official word I heard.
 
Just to get something very clear:

to those who like to rip the students, typically for little reason, not one of us who graduated prior to 2006 could have ever, ever, EVER said that their student body "claimed" 12,000 tickets to a game in which we were headed in at 2-8. How many show up, we'll see, but I'd be willing to bet 10K or more.

KUDOS TO THE KIDS!

NUTS

Exactly...to those who worried about returning to the dark days...aint happening. We have a fan base that may dejected but aint out by the long shot And we are all dying for a winner.

If we were 2-8..in the past...we would have been lucky for 1200 students in a game regardless who we were playing, let alone 12000 request

We are a changed fan base.from the pre-Schiano era

12K students is actually one of the bigger student sections in the country as well.

Yup. Just ask a MD student about their football turnout. It has been terrible for even their "big" games even after a 4-0 start. RU students are not the problem. Win and they will be camping out for tickets!
 
Out of 12k, how many actually make it into the stadium?

My guess is student section 90-95% full for a portion of the game. Night game, PSU, good weather, etc...again, even if it's 30% full it would blow away any type of # ever seen on campus for a 2-8 team.
 
It's Penn freaking State. Doesn't matter if we are 0-11 coming in. Every other year this game will be our Super Bowl.

You graduated in '99? If we played PSU in '99, in Piscataway, 0-11, we'd draw about 2,000 students. Mark my word. Same for when I was in school.

The capacity of the student portion of the endzone is 8,500, however they distributed 12,000 tickets

Let's be fair here. How many of those 2-8 seasons had home games with a team like Penn State coming up? Hmmmm?
