With Rutgers having lost its past two, including one in a massive blowout, it will be interesting to see what the crowd looks like next Saturday night. Remember, this poll is actual attendance, not the number announced by RU.
Michigan at Rutgers: Actual attendance
- Thread starter RutgersB1G
- Start date
You're insane if you think this is anything less than a sellout with every fan in their seats (unless the hurricane effects it)
The one thing that won't be an issue on Saturday is attendance. Rutgers fans will be pumped for a night game and Michigan fans will be pumped because they are good.
Is this serious ? This is Michigan, not Howard. Is there some possibility it might not be a sell-out ?? I would have thought tickets would already be gone by now. The game is in one week
There will be a ton of Michigan fans there. They are an elite team this year with a lot of alums in the area. They had a good showing at our place when they were terrible under Hoke and I expect their attendance to to easily surpass that specific game.
Yes of course it is serious and the poll results back that up. The thought of it being over 45K is far from unanimous. In addition to the weather and the team's poor play, what if the Mets win the play-in game on Wednesday and have an NLDS game on TV that night? I guarantee you that most Mets/RU fans would rather watch a Mets playoff game at home or at a bar than pay to watch RU lose by 50 points.
Troll away the dew. Troll away the dew.
I guarantee you that many on this forum would be a lot happier if you went and posted on a Mets forum instead of here.
Not me though. I look forward to your 24/7 100% negativity. Because, no matter what kind of crap life throws us, it's still not as bad as going through life with an attitude like yours.
Troll away...
Rutgers fans will be pumped about selling their tickets for 150 big ones.
I think I have you figured out. You have a handicap like Dustin Hoffman's character "Raymond" in Rain Man. He was an excellent driver and you're stuck on attendance. Makes sense now.
Oh, and for old timer's here I'll say 35,000.
How is it a troll ? RutgersB1G raises a valid point about the Mets. You don't think a Mets playoff game combined with a likely blowout will affect attendance ? And that's leaving out insane prices to park and $4 bottles of water.
The guy has done nothing but post highly negative posts on this board. Nowhere is it written that a troll cannot occasionally have a valid point about something. His intent across all his posts is clearly to foster misery.
Some people just want to see the world burn. That's him.
Wait, wait Ive been told night games are the best. It will be a sell out with thousands more wanting seats
Well our group of 8 is growing to 16 this week, but the 8 still didn't get tickets due to the prices. With fees, the lowest price in StubHub is $99 a ticket. I responded to two sellers on our forum and they ignored our policy; one wanted $350 a ticket and the other $150. The place will fill up if the prices drop and the weather is good.
Except they've already paid. Over 50,000 tickets have already been sold. So the question is how many Rutgers fans will throw away a football ticket that they already paid $40-$150 for so they can watch the Mets on TV.
The only real variable is the 10,000 students since they get free tickets, and I can safely say that the students are going to be wherever they think is a more festive atmosphere (and that is unlikely to be in front of a TV watching game 2 of the NLDS).
Ragging on speculated future attendance is the oddest sort of trolling. This guy is the passive aggressive troll. Using polls to make fans consider our own shortcomings as a program.
Just going to the Rutgers ticket website and viewing a map of the tickets available..you can easily tell over 50k (or at least close to it) have been sold.

Note: My previous post implied, but did not directly state, that the sold ticket count includes student tickets.
It doesn't look to me like over 50,000 have been sold, and like many others here, I'm sticking with under 45K in actual attendance. Thanks for providing the link, though.
Count the dots representing unsold seats on the seat map. There are slightly less than 1000 seats available. That means the remaining 51K+ have been ticketed.

Weather will be the ONLY thing preventing the place from filling up. The corners of the student end will be empty.. but those seats belong to the students with tiny-student-sized-butts cramming in behind the endzone. The corners up top will be empty.. but those people will have crammed in somewhere else.
Just by a quick non scientific l observation, looks like the most available in any section is 50 seats...and lots of vety, very fewer.
With 40 sections that still have seats available, that's just 2000 seats available..at most.
We've sold more than 50,000..so it seems.

They need to drop the price now. If they put the remaining up at $55, instead of $100 to $250, they sell out by Tuesday. They should forget every $$ for a week and sell the place out. The only ones paying over $100 from now on in will only be Michigan fans. Drop the price so we get more RU fans in the house.
Someday will you tell us who you actually root for? Also, did you enjoy your weekends at the Sandusky house growing up?
