The season opener is here! How many actual butts in seats will there be?
I'm in for 2
Tried to get 2 others to go, no dice
At least two that I know of for sure
Who cares about tickets scanned? Tickets sold all that counts. Report this morning said 46500 have sold!Tickets scanned: 35-40k.
By the way, is there anywhere that shows this tickets scanned statistic? Someone posted an article that referenced it for a game, but I’ve not seen that information publicly available.
I’m planning on tailgating for a couple of hours...watching football for a couple of hours...and then going home for a couple of hours.

I will be at a high school football game. In SW MN, a lot of the 9-man teams are playing on Thursday.
SDSU will bring some fans. But, if it was NDSU, people would be scalping tickets for higher than face value. Those folks travel.
My butts-in-seats guess is just shy of 40,000 - maybe 39,500 or in that range.
I wouldn't object to NDSU on schedule, I just worry their fans would get in their head we're some sort of rival
Apparently they are expecting to sell over 48,000.
I don't know what the scanned attendance will be though.
Wife and I do the same thing every year. Late lunch @ Runyon's, get to campus, park, bars/tailgate. Tough year with an 8pm kickoff. Will likely get in early and take advantage of the happy hour specials.

Assume they count the 3-4K given to Freshmen for this game. So 45K actual sold. Hope I'm wrong, but I expect at least 5-7K no-shows for all the usual reasons...opponent, late start, State Fair, etc. 35-37K in the stadium.
