Does it really matter? You have the official number and that should be enough. I am assuming like in football press etc are all counted to in the final number |

he was challenging my estimate... which is fine... but I'd like to know how many he felt were there.

I understand that for the lesser opponents that the Schott may not be as loud, but having a closer student section can help with that too. I went to a UD game, versus Grambling State. The student section kicked ass that night. UD had just come off a big win at Cincinnatti, and they played like crap, keeping Grambling in the game much longer than they should have, but the student section kept the entire crowd into the game. Awesome atmosphere. I was also in the athletic band at tOSU, and the atmosphere was terrible. To be fair, it was at St. John's during the Moore, Bailey, and Tate years. The women's basketball games were better, because Katie Smith was kicking ass, but it still wasn't very loud.

im not contesting anything. 12,940 is the official attendance for the game according to the box score (so the university reports that).
my guess is 12,940.

I remember hearing an interview with him on 1460 several months ago, and I forget exactly what he said, but I took from the interview that there wouldn't be a student section down there anytime soon.

This is pathetic. I think the problem is that students are charged $12/game, even for these out of conference games against lesser opponents. If you ask me, students should get in for $5/game, and maybe even for free to out of conference games against teams like Belmont and Tennesee St.
