What is the actual attendance today?

One floor level camera shot looked like the whole end of the seats behind one bucket were empty pretty much from floor to the top. It is a good thing they keep the lights turned down real low. I am sure paid tickets is close to a sellout.

I'm guessing under 5k.

 

[HawksMN]

Under 5k for an 11-3 team. That says something.

 

[PCHawk]

It's amazing the difference in how many threads there are after a loss compared to after a win.

Under 5K on a Sunday afternoon is terrible anyway you spin it. I'm guessing no one is buying into this team yet considering how horrible they've looked on the road. Their one good win before today was ISU, but that was an ISU team without Wigginton so not quite as impressive although an ISU team without Wigginton still makes the tourney easily.

I’ve seen you posting on HN for years, this really can’t be a surprise to you.

 

[HawkPrdatr40]

I'm guessing under 5k.

5,000 Clinton’s from Iowa showed up.

Students on break, Bears (and others) on TV, 4:30 Sunday aft., 0-3........hard to believe attendance would be down.

Let's critique the guessed attendance figure while we sit on our butts watching the game on TV.

 

[Northside Hawk]

Bears....oh boy!

 

[Hawknigh]

Under 5k for an 11-3 team. That says something.

Against a ranked conference foe.

 

[RobHowe]

I would say 9K.

 

[HuckFinn]

Under 5K? No. I was there. I was surprised that the crowd was not better, but the students were on break. Lots of parents with young children. I am not good at estimating crowd size, but the under 5 K has no credibility. Just make something up and run with it, as usual.

 

[HuckFinn]

I would agree with Rob...around 9K.

 

[tksirius]

I would say 9K.

Really? I was being generous based on what we could see on the tellie. Did fans hit the restrooms and ice cream lines a lot?

Crowd showed up after tip. Thought it was a good crowd, needs to be louder. Need more booing.

They were trying to get the best possible reception on their electronic devices to follow the game thread.

The student sections were basically empty but the sides were full for the most part. About 2/3 full seems right.

 

[iowacountryboy]

This was paid attendance

ESPN boxscore also listed Riley Till as a starter with no minutes or stats. But he played a minute or two and had a foul. In other words don't trust the ESPN boxscore until the next day.

After a loss people vent and need to displace their anger, after a win people like ice cream, kind of a no-brainer.
