A rainy opening night?

[BirdinBama]

Weather.com saying 90% chance of rain/thunderstorms for Thursday night. Yuk!

The Deacs rolled Cuse in the rain last season. That said, rain won't help the gameday turnout.

 

[SCDeac]

Turnout will suck regardless. Scheduling a hapless I-AA team on a Thursday night will keep actual asses in the seats under 15K.

Forecast I looked at said rain in the morning and then overcast at night. But it's four days out.

A night encounter with wet hoes?

Get big you hairy Deacs!

 

[CreamyGoodness]

I am not going to that game to sit there on an overcast evening.

The lunch group was guessing around 15,000 on a good night for this Thursday & I also added 25,357 will be put in the paper the next day as the official attendance.
But rain could really knock it down to 10-12,000 as the women who come out just for the tailgating will stay home then.

Dies anybody know how many season tickets we sold this year? I already have my tickets for Thursday, but just for grins & giggles I went to the ticket site to see what availability is by section. Surprisingly it's medium/low in a number of sections, and in the visitor section it's sold out.
We sell a fair number of season tickets, as evidenced by the rotation of people using them each game (often fans of the visiting team). I recall one year a nice young family in Wake gear sat in front of us the entire season, and we played UNC at home late that year. I was surprised (not shocked) when the family arrived before kickoff with Dad in Wake gear, mom and 2 kids head-to-toe in Hole regalia.

Probably will not be a lot more than 3500 people in the stands if it rains.

 

[HailToTheDeacons]

Latest from Weather.com: Rain in the morning. Scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon. High near 80F. Winds light and variable. Chance of rain 70%.

There is no telling what this administration will announce as the official attendance number, but I don't think you could get 10,000 actual people there if it was free.

 

[tvcigar]

It did the same thing last year.

 

[liveanddiedeac]

It did the same thing last year.

Hopefully whatever the weather, we'll score more than 7 points. I would've bet good money we weren't going bowling after that Tulane game, glad I was wrong.

Attendance is tickets sold, not people through turnstiles.
