I know there was a lot of people on here saying they weren’t really excited about the season. That attitude was apparently not shared by the fan base in general. More than 54,000 fans at the game last night (before the rain). Largest opening game crowd since 2016. Considering we only averaged about 49,000 for home games last season, it was good to see a full and noisy stadium last night. Hopefully the excitement continues for the next home game in a few weeks.
Last night’s attendance

The crowd was great. I'm sure a night time kickoff had a lot to do with it though.
It looked great as well. The one shot of the balconies before kickoff looked way better than the pictures.
If they went by counting tickets as folks entered stadium, we had several hundred more than was reported. My wife and I were in line at a SW corner entrance. We were about 75 deep in the line. The game kicked off and they just allowed everyone to hurry on through the gate without scanning anyone’s tickets. I’ve never seen that occur in all my yrs of coming to games.
Great atmosphere! I think it helped that we play the next couple on the road followed by Bowling Green.
We may have averaged selling 49k tix per game, but actual attendance last season was much lower.
If we are 3-0 heading into Bowling Green, we are looking at 2014 levels of hype again.
