Tonight’s attendance

Thats where I'm at. I wouldn't be shocked if it ended up at 20k and I wouldn't be shocked if it ended up at 30k. I'd be surprised at 35 and stunned if it was as bad as 15.
If it counts tickets sold (including student tickets) I think the number will be around 28K-32K. If it counts actual attendance, that may be around 23K-26K
21,970 tickets sold. Not sure of the actual attendance.
I bet if that same game was played on a Thur at Sam Boyd it would of been 8–10k max in attendance. So good revenue bump for one game in the new stadium, we’ll see how the rest of the season goes 🤷♂️

It's going to be hard to maintain that. Many of the folks there aren't fans and they went just to see the Stadium. But we didn't get our normal beat down and that's encouraging. Some may come back. But by mid-season we'll be way down.
I’ll be back. UNLV/community finally made investments in the program (Fertitta/Allegiant) so I committed that I’ll do the same. Allegiant is a great venue to see a game and does change the calculation IMO. Even with a losing team going to Allegiant is night and day compared to SBS. Family enjoys it much more and the offerings make the experience much more of a night out than the task of slogging out to the water reclamation facilities of SBS. If UNLV competes on the field (save Iowa St. game), more then better. And I’ll be at the ISU game; it’s not everyday we get to play a top program. I know the outcome, but I’ll enjoy the game experience and still root for UNLV despite the odds.
