The attendance numbers on Thanksgiving weekend are always low, doesn't matter where the game is played. Students are home, people are with their families etc. That 16K the Griz had against SELA in 2019 was Thanksgiving weekend. I honestly don't think the Cat/Griz game is gi8ng to have an effect on attendance either way. Budgets around Christmas and the weather will determine tha size of the crowd in my opinion.aucat wrote: ↑Tue Nov 30, 2021 11:47 pmWell we certainly cannot blame the weather for our attendance this Saturday. This mild weather we are having is crazy.
I know that all of the "true blue Cat" fans will be at the playoff game, but I do have a question. There are always the "Fair weather" type
of fans and I wonder, what if the score in the Cat-Griz game was reversed? What if we had gone into Missoula and SMOKED the Griz 29-10?
What difference do you think this would have made regarding the turnout this Saturday?? Maybe I'm wrong but I think a fairly significant number of fans on both sides kinda lose interest when they get crushed by their rival. For example, in 2019 after WE crushed the griz I see where UM had a little over 16k attendance for their
playoff game with SE Louisiana.
I'm going to predict 13,000 for our game with UT-Martin.

MSU can probably sell out if the rumors on the other thread are true. Butte travels well...

Honestly, it's going to be damn warm for December in Bozeman. Maybe a tad windy but other than that 45 at the lowest?
I know it won't get the same attendance, but it might as well be an early October game weather wise.

The griz had a bye week in 2019, as the 6 seed. They didn't play on Thanksgiving weekend.BleedingBLue wrote: ↑Wed Dec 01, 2021 12:04 amThe attendance numbers on Thanksgiving weekend are always low, doesn't matter where the game is played.

Re: Attendance predictions UT Martin at MSU
People’s perception of what it takes to make a stadium feel full is always skewed by announced attendance which is based on ticket sales. https://www.forbes.com/sites/sportsmon ... ae654b2b2aIf there are 13000-14000 people there, it won’t feel substantially less full than an average regular season game, other than there might be some larger pockets that would normally be a little better dispersed. Add in the fact that was mentioned before that in the playoffs the fans who are there really want to be there. Bodes well for being a great atmosphere. Going to guess 14007.

Re: Attendance predictions UT Martin at MSU
wtf..we want to get good seeds and we can't put 15000 or more in our stadium? not a troll and not a troll post..nobody wants to support our players because not a rival? seems like fair weather fans for the most part. Everyone wonders why griz get preference and crowd size is one of the reasons.

You referred to the griz as your team in a past post. You are an awful troll.justafan wrote: ↑Wed Dec 01, 2021 9:16 amwtf..we want to get good seeds and we can't put 15000 or more in our stadium? not a troll and not a troll post..nobody wants to support our players because not a rival? seems like fair weather fans for the most part.

really, where? I have never referred to griz as my team so not sure how wanting attendance is trolling.Cataholic wrote: ↑Wed Dec 01, 2021 10:37 amYou referred to the griz as your team in a past post.

Let’s say it is not an official guess.

Re: Attendance predictions UT Martin at MSU
Didn’t realize all those variables were in play. Just saw 55 for the high. The media doesn’t seem to be hyping the game much. I CP’d MSU, like always, for the Tuesday Helena IR and Montana Standard. So maybe a lot of people my age will show up.

You can go to the MSU ticket office web page and buy tickets for people without the means to buy their own. Great cause and helps fill the stadium. I bought 2.

You need to be north of 14,000 to be right. 2-3 more days to go. Should be over 15,000.

Re: Attendance predictions UT Martin at MSU
Just quickly looked through the map at available seats. The far two sections in the east bleachers have probably half their seats still available, but it looks like every other section is well into the 75%+ range of tickets sold, a few sections are easily 90% sold. That bodes well for Saturday.
I already made my prediction, but I think it’s very realistic we get into that 15k+ range.
