Hobo Day Attendance Guesses

Re: Hobo Day Attendance Guesses

Not sure what it means as far as numbers, but I'm told the middle three reserved sections on the east side are sold out. The west side has been sold out for some time. With Hobo Day being a big walkup day, I'm thinking it's going to be a very large crowd.

Remind any friends or family that plan to attend to get their tickets ahead of time if possible. The walk-up crowd and line have been a 30-60 minute wait in the past. I'm not sure if that has improved but if you want the full game day experience and CAS you don't want to spend large chunks of time waiting in line for tickets you could bet in advance.

Boy am I glad you mentioned that... The gf is coming up for the game and I had thought about getting her ticket beforehand but had forgot. Oops.

Re: Hobo Day Attendance Guesses

Only East side reserved seats are available now according to gojacks.com. A "limited number" of general admission and children's tickets will go on sale Saturday. Sounds like it will be a large crown.

Seriously though, I think it will rank as the biggest crowd ever.

Until October 17, 2009 you'll have no idea what 'the biggest crowd ever' looks like.

Especially if SDSU wins up there this year...

Re: Hobo Day Attendance Guesses

Gotta be honest...I'm a little surprised and disappointed in the fact there are zero articles leading up to the Hobo Day game today in the Argus.
I could've swore in his Q/A section yesterday, TV mentioned there was going to be one in regards to the "attendance spike" with SDSU football in today's AL. I guess I'll have to back and check it out, maybe it will be another day.

Go Jacks!!

Re: Hobo Day Attendance Guesses

I don't care what the final number turns out to be. The atmosphere is going to be absolutely great and I'll be there. I'm expecting close to a record crowd and definitely the most Jackrabbit fans every at CAS. Look at those record crowds and appreciate that NDSU and USD brought thousands of fans. McNeese will have a respectable following but it won't be more than a couple hundred people.

I'd like to see more than 16,000 Jackrabbit fans.

I'm going with 16,202 in attendance.

Exactly. Think about how the SDSU football fan base has expanded in the last several years. With the exception of the NDSU game last year, all of those 14,000+ crowds have been made up entirely of SDSU fans.
