Thanks TAKODA, it has been awhile since I have been to a game and I am pumped. My son hasn't stopped talking about it since I told him, I am glad he will get a great atmosphere to soak in and remember. I remember growing up and going to several games a year with my Dad, that and him yelling at the TV during the '84 Orange Bowl, so I am excited to be able to share that with my son.

Last week, I attended the game and hadn't been able to for couple years as living out of state. The announced 'attendance' was about 89 thousand and some odd. I don't know how they total this up but it could not be accurate. The stadium may hold max capacity seating of about 93,000 or so. There were many, many many empty seats all over the place. I would estimate about 10,000 or so. The TV cameras won't show this as people nicely spaced themselves out but I have been to nearly all the home games from 1972 to 2014. This was about as empty as I remember it ever being even on a lousy weather day. We had one when we played OU and Calvin Jones ran wild in the 'ice bowl' (the entire place was one big ice castle and everyone, including the players, should have been wearing skates. But that was understandable. It was an absolutely gorgeous out and attendance was terrible in my view. Tickets sold for around $15 or so outside.

I was also at the game, and the stadium was packed. I had to sit sideways in my seat. Student section was packed. Are you sure you were at Memorial Stadium? In Lincoln?
