Announced - 23000
Butts - 19000
FIU - 1000
Win 10+ games and I hope most of next year's home games look something like these numbers we are now guessing.

I'm sure this is available somewhere, but how many times have we even announced more than 20k? I am hopeful these numbers/guesses are close - the team deserves 20k+ to come see them win the East rather than only having the "buzz" and big crowd that first week being strictly about the Lane-effect. I am going to be overly-optimistic and the guys get rewarded for the season-to-date with big fan interest:
Announced - 23000
Butts - 19000
FIU - 1000

But when you have a buzz about a game, crazy things can happen (see the Navy game). Why can't this game and/or hosting the CUSA title game approach that? Maybe not get there, but get over 20k if we normally announce around 15k.

I am - and have posted in several other places how I am having to adjust to the crowds. I have been to high school and FCS games in NC and SC that "feel like" bigger crowds than some of the games I see around Florida (especially when you talk about "butts in seats").

When I spoke to the ticket office the other day to get extra tickets, they told me they were expecting between 20 and 25k. My entire section (114) was sold out, and they said there have been a LOT of calls for tickets over the last couple of days.
FWIW

Ticket people lie. Not just at FAU but everywhere. If they make you think tickets are running out you will buy earlier instead of later. I hope they aren't lying this week, but I will believe it when I will see. I do like that this game is schedule this week and that FIU decides to play us the same next year instead of early like they seem to want to do. I hate when this game is the first conference game.

I have heard ridiculous numbers from the ticket office for other games that never materialized but I am trying to be optimistic for this game. Perfect weather, beat down on the kitties, division championship, undefeated in conference, Kiffin, craft beer C'mon Man!
GO OWLS!
