100,000 visitors come to see Mike each year.


How do they arrive at that number? When they drive him in his portable cage into the football stadium 7 times per year that's 714,000 people that see him right there. Mike's cage is also literally right next to the basketball/volleyball/gymnastics and track stadiums. Thousands more see him that way.

Well he doesn't go to the football games so I'm cool with the 100,000.

He probably only got in his portable cage for one game ... hence 100k

It's like a timber cruise. You don't have to count every tree. Just take a relative sample of typical hours and multiply it out.

Could it be they are referring to visitors that actually go to his habitat to see Mike. When I go to a game I am not there to see Mike (although that is always a plus if he makes an appearance) but rather a game.

At any rate

Still, ten of thousands must stop by his cage on game day for football, men's basketball, women's basketball, volleyball, gymnastics, and track. If they're counting non-sporting event stops, well then students stop by daily going to and from the student parking lot. Perhaps they count the number of people going to the gift shop next door on a random day and multiply that times 365 days.

As others have mentioned, the only time Mike goes to a game is when he freely walks into the cage/trailer, and this past season he didn't volunteer 1 time. Hence, Mike made no appearances inside Tiger Stadium in 2014.

I don't think tens of thousands of people go to any of these events.

Im thinking that's how many go to his habitat to see him... Not the numbers in the stadium. They have cameras around there. That's probably how they count it.
