I gauge it by whether my daughter is going (she doesn't always) and how many of her friends are going (they don't usually) ...based on that imprecise barometer...thinking pretty good crowd tonight

Hearing students planning to line up at 5 because, "the t-shirts are really cool and there are only 1500 of them".
Whatever gets them there!

I think it will be in the mid 6k range. It is a Friday night, ranked opponent, tee-shirts, familiar program (have played quite a bit in last 20 years), ESPN game, and URI is coming off two wins. These are the type of factors that bring out the casual fan that would not ordinarily go to games. The hardcore regulars will always be there. The casual fans need more motivation and this game fits the bill.

If it is apparent close to game time that they will not be able to sell the remaining tickets, they should waive the student allotment cap and allow more students in if there are any waiting in line.

Pretty sure they always do that if there's extra tickets.

They do, yeah. I'm not sure if it's always, but it's definitely more often than not.

6105. The majority of the voters were too optimistic and wrong. This poll went the path of the preseason record and attendance predictions. Most people had higher expectations that never got met.
