About $40,000 people are expected to pack in Ross-Ade Stadium for Friday night's game.

Not surprising. $40k people are good salt of the earth people. Big football fans. Good to have them pack in the stadium.

Lets get a win and keep the fans coming. Really wanting a win this Friday

I read $5 tickets for all students. Should at least get some interest

Makes sense. For as unpopular as a Friday game might be the alums who have to travel in, it's going to be easier for the students and sub alums around the Lafayette area.

Just bought 3 tix and waited forever on the phone. I finally got the tickets online. No worries about the wait as I am delighted folks are interested in the game.

I think we need to get the $100k people to take our program to the next level though.

Hope I'm reading this wrong but $40k worth of tickets is not very much...even at student rate of $5.00 that's only 8000 people. Does this maybe mean additional ticket sales other than Season ticket holders etc? But either way, need someone of those folks please give us a critic on new "Boiler Gold"....lol!j

Not sure how 40,000 is a packed stadium. Did we remove more seats or are we expecting a high turnout of fat people?

Compared to the "Hazel 30" that is a great crowd.
(The "Hazel 30" is an announced crowd of 30000 of which half were gone by halftime.)

That's 8k more than the home opener last year. That's a pretty significant increase especially after our last 4 years.

It is nice to see an uptick. I went Saturday and had a sense of dread all day expecting a shellacking, regretting my decision to buy tickets. Not going Friday but find myself wishing I was.

Nice to see some excitement after having several bad seasons. Folks are getting excited now just wait until Purdue actually starts winning some games. Folks are starved for a winning program.

 

[BoilerBulldog]

We absolutely need a win tonight. No question.

Working in my office grading papers... walking over to Ross-Ade shortly to kick off my 34th year as a season-ticket holder (not counting the 4 years as an undergrad). GO BOILERS!

The stadium was surprisingly full kids tickets were 5 bucks, took my 3 year old we left at the half because he had enough but he was pretty good.
