Terry and I are hosting our group, which can get to 200+ folks when things are going well.  I'm thinking 2 bags of Doritos, a case of beer, and some waters ought to do it . . .

7,500. Kinda like WSU in the first year of the new stadium. I actually started counting in the 3rd Q. All I missed was the lower deck below me. Same game when the Coug DE (name eludes me) had about seven or eight sacks.

If there were 16,000 at the Washington game, I’d estimate there should be a little more for the Utah game.

The biggest negative is that the team is now 3-5 instead of 3-4.

Other than that, it depends on the demographics.

For families with children, a 7:30 game the night before Halloween is the absolute worst time possible, so I’d expect some more families.

The UCLA and Oregon games set records for student attendance. There was a big dropoff for the Washington game, but the Saturday night before Halloween is the absolute best night for parties, so, I’d expect more students at the Utah game.

For die hard sports fans, there should no longer be a conflict with the World Series.

For young professionals, it’s a mixed bag. If they work late or have a long drive,
it can be bard to make a Friday night game. But again, there’s less chance of a conflict with parties and other social events on Fridays.

Last, for opponents, there are a lot more UDub alums around than Utah alums, but Utah is doing well and could be the Pac 12 champions, generating more excitement, so this might be a push. Utah used to have what appeared to be a small contingent that flew in, but that seems less likely during a pandemic.

Overall, my prediction is 10-15% more than the Washington game.

the AD apparently didn't think this would be a high demand game given the face value of my sec 134 alumni seat is $22, the lowest of all the home games....the UW game ticket face value was $47....

Is this Peak Actual Attendance at Kickoff... or by Q3?  
We could be down 3 TDs by Halftime vs Utes... with <8,000 in the seats? 
We now wield the LOWEST Rushing Yards per game in Pac-12 at 92.  At least it won't be raining.
And, we are dead last in Rushing Defense also.  
Three teams in the Pac-12 have allowed more points than they have scored:  STAN, ARIZ, COLO.  

We need to ask Shaw a serious question:  
Forget your career Won-Loss record; why is the team you field each week worth watching?

the only time i've been to Stanford since i graduated was the late 90's, but i just bought a ticket to SJC for the Utah game on Friday.  does anyone have any tips, or comments about the new stadium?

The stadium should be empty. Pick up a free game ticket or buy the cheapest from Stubhub to get in the gate and sit wherever you want. Some say the first five rows of the upper deck offer the best views of the action.

The "new" stadium is terrific.  Really.  Not a bad seat in the house (and you will have oodles to choose from once you get inside the gate). It should be another mild night, so the only real drawback (likely) will be what's going on in the game itself.

The announcer is just too over the top, trying to contrive interest and energy.  Please, somebody, make it stop!

How many LDS live close to the stadium?

thanks for the advice.  i've always debated whether to sit close or far.  
i sat in the front row of the end zone at the Orange Bowl in Harbaugh's final game, and had a blast.  but i couldn't always tell what was going on at the other end zone.

maybe i'll bring earplugs.

also, the Utes are favored by 7.  but you never know......we might get lucky.

Fair question.

I disagree, Phogge. Maples will be rocking for Stanford women's basketball, and I'm looking forward to it!

RE: what's the O/U on actual attendance on Fri vs Utah - Phogge - 11-01-2021

Never seen the women play. But I don't think that they can ever generate the noise and excitement of an Arizona game c 1998 or the game with UConn. You had to be there to understand.

RE: what's the O/U on actual attendance on Fri vs Utah - Papa John - 11-01-2021

The women have had several games with Arizona and UConn that generated a lot of excitement. For regular season games, I like this one the most:

What's the all-time record attendance at Maples for women's BB??

Buy mine! First row (A) upper deck, Sec 235 about the 17-yard line, less than face value on StubHub. Great sightlines and no one in front of you.
