Spring Game Attendance all time

[DownTheField]

2 Vol bombs and 3 drinks at the Half Barrel. I have not made it to the game yet. I'll let you know the attendance once I do arrive.

Remember to divide by two before you report-- you'll likely be seeing double.

Lol. I'm still at the Half Barrel. I'll report my findings ASAP.

 

[Boca Vol]

This is from the '86 game. You can see how full it was.

Vol bombs are too good atm.

 

[salutethehill]

Crowd doesn't look too bad on TV.

I was thinking the same. Would guess in the 40,000 range?

What is in a Vol Bomb

Red Bull and orange schnapps. .

And just an FYI- I haven't left yet. I'm supporting UT from the Half Barrel.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Looked like most of the bottom was full.

I like that they used the gray jerseys in place of the red ones this year.

Not just the weather. When Butch says in an interview that we don't even have enough healthy players to have a spring game people tend to not be excited. It was a huge turnoff to me.

I usually go to the O&W every year. However this was me as well. When 11 of your starters/significant contributors aren't even participating, what's the point? Oh and yes the forecast did play a part too.

What was the announced attendance?

I was at the game and they never announced it.

 

[Escape Goat]

63,000 + was what they said

63,000 + was what they said

That's prolly bout right. Lower deck full.

 

[Nationdom]

Dang I was really hoping for a sellout. Disappointing but we'll get it next time.

 

[barknoxbrawler]

Still haven't left the Half Barrel. Never made it to the game. It looked great on SEC network. I couldn't walk the hill if I wanted. I said 45,000 over under. I lost.

A sellout to a partial game, with a depleted roster, with the threat of hail and thunderstorms, and when a sellout would mean over 102k people?

Man. I don't know how you live your life being disappointed every time the impossible fails to happen. Do you cry each time you buy a lottery ticket and don't win the jackpot?

63,000 + was what they said

Who said 63,000, Goat? One of he guys calling the game for SEC Network guessed "50,000 or 60,000," but he said it in a really off-hand way while talking about the QBs performing in the "QB Challenge," and was clearly just taking a wild guess to have a number.

If someone in a position to know said 63,000, that's awesome. Who was it?

 

[Coug]

63,016 attended the Orange and White Game today.

Final attendance numbers from SEC spring games

We probably would have beat Bama if it weren't for the weather forecast.

 

[VolinConcord]

The way the line was before the Fan Day events started, I was thinking it would be well over 70k. I'm glad my oldest son made the call to go because I was about cancel. Great day in Knoxville!

 

[VFL-82-JP]

Thanks, Coug, for the reference. I bet we could've had another 5,000 there if a couple of big pockets of negativity (mostly weather predictions with a little VP news thrown in) hadn't cooled fan energy somewhat.
