with a sold out Memorial Stadium! 

I also heard that Memorial Stadium was "sold out," but there were several sections in the south end zone that were covered with tarps.

My guess - all available seats were sold.  Since the tarped seats, which are included in the stated capacity, were not available, it was technically a sellout.

not sure it was really "sold out" as Cal reports the attendance was 51,892 (and attendance is usually tickets sold) and Memorial Stadium capacity is 62,467...

My guess - tickets for all the available seats were sold. Since the tarped seats, which are included in the stated capacity, were not available, it was a sellout.  A bit of a stretch but desperate times call for desperate measures and Cal is certainly desperate for any positive athletic attention.
