Nashville Attendance

[catatac]

The largest attendance that Illinois state had I believe was around 11,000 in an early season game. Their homecoming was about 7000 in attendance. I am curious how they will travel? Maybe their numbers will be higher with Nashville being a destination and their team in the national championship. Montana State probably had 13,000 or more in Frisco last year. I am hoping we travel better.

I have friends that are lifelong North Dakota State fans that plan on keeping their tickets and going to the game as well

The listed attendance for last year's game is 18,000. If that's accurate, you're saying the Cats had 13,000 and NDSU had 5,000.

Yes, I think 12-13k is accurate. MSU had waaayyyyy more fans than the bison. It shocked me.

I dunno, that doesn't seem accurate to me. I was there as well and while I do agree the Cats outnumbered the Bison, there were more then 5,000 bison fans in that stadium.

I thought it was 60/40 Cats fans. So quick math shows about 7200 bison fans. That’s probably more accurate.

NCAA ticket sales has released tickets from ISU and they are now for sale. MSU side hasn't been released to the public yet.
ISU had 3 sections.
MSU has 4 sections, that is why we got the visitor side - more seats to sell to us.

Things are not great in Bisonville. Their attendance has been way down with an abysmal 10,500 at their playoff loss to Illinois State. Not sure what is going on, but they have lost a lot of momentum with fans.

550 tickets for sale in the ISU section - all at the top - on the NCAA site.

Bison Fatigue, it is real

Time for a new program to take over the top. I hope the Cats don't experience fatigue when WE win 9 out of the next 10 Championships.

Anyone receive their tickets that got them through MSU? I think the email said they would be issued today...hoping to get our tickets ASAP so we know where to purchase additional tickets for family members.

I have not received mine as of this morning. So they are a day late and dollar short. And I am sitting here in Nashville! My credit card was charged however!

[BobcatDel]

My wife and I made the trip down on Sunday. We are the advance recon/scout team as far as I can tell.

Where the heck are Bobcat fans. We’ve met one MSU grad student doing her 1 year doctoral internship at Vanderbilt and a Washington dad with a senior at MSU. Otherwise the on-site current sit rep is three Bobcat fans to about a bazillion people with Illinois on their shirts (not kidding)!!!!! We are surrounded!

It was 23 degrees and a 15 mph wind this morning so the wife and I retreated to the redoubt waiting for a bit warmer temp around noon.

The beer is cold. The touristy things have been good. Big New Years Eve bash on Broadway tomorrow.

P.S. Ardent football fans know this……but the reason there are so many Illinois shirts present is that U of Illinois plays Tennessee in the Music City Bowl today in Nashville!!! We actually haven’t encountered a Red Bird yet… but the Illini we talk to are at least aware of the Monday game and a few have relatives at ISU.

Email to me from ticket office said tickets would be issued the week of the 29th. Impatient as I am, I called them today. Was told they would be e-mailed on the first.
