So what are we looking at attendance wise tonight?? Anyone have any ideas?? It sounds like a lot of people are bringing alot of people that dont normally come to the games. Thats a good sign. I am bringing 4 people that dont normally go to the games. Its gonna be a kick ass time. Keep recruiting for the game. Maybe, just maybe we could have a shot at cracking 10,000 but I highly highly doubt that. It would be a great time though, they have promoted this pretty heavily

if i had to take a guess i'd say 7,000 would be an optimistic number. the last 2 crowds have been very nice, over 6,000 each. hopefully those folks are coming back and bringing a few more with. of course both those games were on saturdays so i'm not sure how that'll figure. these guys deserve a loud and large crowd for this tremendous season, i hope the town comes out and show's their support.
anyone see if they've been pushing this game on campus for the students?

I agree.........I think 6,000 to 7,000 would be great (and realistic)!

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. First, let me say that this senior class deserves a sold out house. But, realistically, anything over 5,000 should be considered a compliment to the program. I'm hoping for 6,000-7,000.

agreed, but I would be very surprised if we don't get more than 5,500. I think low 6's is where it will be when all is said and done.

My heart says low 7's, but being a weeknight my brain wants to agree with you pnthr30, and say low 6's. On a side note, my MRI yesterday shows no ligament? damage. I'm now in a removable cast/boot, and have permission from my doctor to leave my crutches at home WOO-HOO ;D The only question now is if my good leg can handle standing up (and bearing almost all of my weight) in the student section for the better part of 2 hours. Maybe, if I'm front row GO PANTHERS! -Jason

I called the ticket office and they said that with the buy one get one promotion and the promotion for test driving cars for free tickets AND with senior night and possibly clinching the title along with it being Butler (whether they are down or not, we always draw big for them) they are expecting between 7,000-9,000. That would be awesome and a HUGE compliment to the program. I am so proud to be a part of this program right now. These seniors certainly do deserve it. James has fought through a ton in his career and stuck with it and Ed deserves a huge round of applause becaues everyone thought when Clay left this program would suck again but between him and Dylan they kept the tradition alive. Its a great day to be a Panther. Everyone better come out and be really really loud tonight

Just to think four years ago, Devin, Hoffman, Jeff, Milt, Darrin, and myself went to the games being the only students there screaming. Now we have nearly 1,000-2,000 student following on good nights. What a great compliment that is to the program.

7-9 thousand....if we get anywhere in between those numbers thad be great...Id like to get more than what GB had up there this year when we played them just so we can say we had the highest regular season single game attendance in the Horizon League this year...might be wishful thinking, Im guessing it all depends on the number of walk ups there is.....
