Crowd on Saturday?

[bonefish1]

What's the prediction? Close to a sell out?
What % will be iu fans? I'm guessing 15% (While iu fans are not known for their traveling, most probably can't afford to go anywhere for the holiday meaning they might be willing to pack up the trailer and head to WL).

I just hope for a sell-out...our players have earned it! Norm

GBI just tweeted out that Purdue has sold 2,000 tickets since the Iowa game.

I got 2 of those 2000! These guys earned me driving from Cincinnati up to Cleveland back to Cinci then up to Indianapolis and West Lafayette this weekend.

I grabbed three more...anyone in FW have an extra parking pass they want to sell?

What do you all think the student section turn out will be. Playing IU with a chance to get to a bowl game, you would think that might attract some of them back to campus early?

No. They went home for the Tday holiday and they will not come back for an early game on Saturday. They will watch the game at home on TV.

Did any of you guys notice the P12 has moved its top two rivalries to the weekend BEFORE Thanksgiving? USC-UCLA and Stanford-Cal were played last Saturday, Nov 18.

It's a shame this game falls on thanksgiving break. I doubt it sells out because of this

It sucks that it’s on the holiday weekend, but I don’t see it changing. Having it be a rivalry game reduces the risk of the turnout being embarrassing. Every other season they’ll have to have a home game that weekend and having IU helps alleviate students being gone. If this game is against someone like Minnesota or Rutgers or someone like that the attendance will be so much worse. Until the team is good consistently this will be how it is I imagine.

Stubhub is showing not a lot of tickets on the market right now. I know 2,000 tickets were sold from Saturday to Monday at the ticket office after the Iowa game and I imagine that'll get better as the week goes on a plans are finalized/cancelled. Stubhub also showing more than 1,000 people are watching the tickets as well. I think we could see close to the same amount of fans as we saw for the Ohio game, which would be very good for the team to come out to. If there are 50k in the stands, that would be very good!

The problem is that the students won't be there. They have season tickets but they're going to be home for Thanksgiving and watching the game on TV.

I got my tickets on stub hub the day after the game this week. It’s stinks for the students that they are on Thanksgiving break. College sports is all about the students, and the scheduling for this game is really stupid because what an experience this would be for them!

Students within maybe 1 1/2 hours drive might comeback for this exciting atmosphere on campus, if the weather hangs good on us. C’mon PU students, show out for one more homegame, this game is gonna Rock, be there to help Rock it out and Send WLaffy into a Party Time!
