To expect 9OK+ at a home game with about 48 hours notice before the weekend is pretty silly. If he really made condescending comments, after basically telling people services would be limited, he's really a piss-poor AD.

No one was expecting 90K+. Alleva himself said the goal was 50,000 which we probably won't reach

I bet we will. A lot of people will decide they have nothing better really going tomorrow. I think 10-15k walkup is entirely possible. Everyone knows tickets are widely available, so human nature will let many people wait until the last minute.

He's probably right, then.
40K today, and I assume a decent walk-up tomorrow.


I didn't hear his comments. Was he basically talking down to the the fan base?

Looks like we'll fall short of that, but don't be too sure. There are still quite a few people who either don't want to go online or got frustrated trying to use the site, but may still want to go to the game. There may be a surprisingly large walk-up crowd. Still, if we're only at 38,000 in the morning, I doubt the walk-up crowd will be 12,000, so we'll probably not reach 50,000.
