Wow. Did anyone listen. I dont even want to say how many fans he estimated were going to Frisco....its not many though.

Missed it. Will there be a pod anywhere? Or at least a summary.
penguinpower:
He said based on what the NCAA has told them and zip code sales there are about 1,400 people from Youngstown zip code and a contingent from Texas. That's the estimate. He also said in other NC years there were 500 to 1000 fans.
They hope that the people in Youngstown get to see the high quality of football in the FCS and that will hopefully translate into better season ticket sales next year

Yikes. The Madison forum folks have basically been saying they're expecting 10-12 K of their fans. Unfortunately for Strollo I doubt the way the school handled the ticket thing endears themselves to too many rank and file Penguin Club folks. This should've been the perfect year to cash in on all the new enthusiasm, but whatever, hopefully it doesn't matter on Saturday. Just think about how many students they could have sent if they took the full allotment. They sold out of 125 in 45 minutes...
Strollo is full of crap though about only 500-1000 fans being the norm. Maybe for a couple times in Huntington, but if you go back and watch the 99 game on Youtube, they probably had at least a third to half the fans there. An entire sideline is almost red.
