    I'm not worried, I think there has a been a thread like this every week leading up to the game and the place has been packed.

    Come on, he is totally different. Have you ever seen Yosemite Sam wearing a jersey?

    You are spot on with the warm, dry forecast. Which is why a lot of farmers will be staying home to combine beans. If you let them sit out there in this weather too long, they will get too dry, and you will have a lot of harvest loss. 2 bu/ac X $15 per bushel = $30 per acre X 1000 acres......you can see why people stay home.

    Also, my dad never left the combine sit to come to a game. That is because he took 3 nights off per week to watch me and my brothers play football. Sorry, but that is more important to him than the Cyclones.

    No flip the question to this: We are now 3-0 and play a sexier team than Western Illinois, why wouldn't we have more people than that?

    You don't need to be crazy or bold to predict 56K for this coming game. Just realistic based on the first 2 games.
    I didn't say you had to be crazy. I just said it was bold given a comparison to last year at the same time. Also, Western Illinois game wasn't on TV....you're kidding yourself if you don't think that makes a difference to the fair weather fans.

    In the end, I think we have a chance to make a Top 5 attendance number, I just think it is naive to say "it is a given" based on history as recent as last year. That's all.

    Eh, ive watched cyclones.com's attendance showing for the last 2 home games. We're clearly behind those marks.

    Re: Will this game be a sellout?

    Looking at the seating chart on cyclones.com there are thousands and thousands of tickets left for Saturday. This is a HUGE HUGE game. Time to fan up; buy a ticket; show up; and cheer loud!!! Go Cyclones!!!

    if only 50,000 show up, i doubt it would be that noticeable. Its not like were comparing 70k to 40k.

    Re: Will this game be a sellout?

    As of this moment, a quick count of the seats remaining shows 3311 reserved seats remaining.

    To sell out, we need to sell out these as well as sell out the hillsides, which are still listed as having moderate availability.

    Re: Will this game be a sellout?

    The positive news is that KSU looks like it WILL be a sellout. If you know anyone who is thinking about going to that game, get them to buy hillsides as that looks like it is all that is left except for single tickets, and with no other options available i'm sure those hillsides will move quick.

    Makes me wish i'd held out for more on stubhub for those.

    You should put your tickets, if they're season tickets, on the Ticket Exchange if you can't use them... leave no seat unused.

    Re: Will this game be a sellout?

    It would be crazy to think anything under 55,000 and a loud crowd for this game. This game is HUGE.

    Would be very disappointing too. I'm expecting 56,000...i wont lie.
