I think this is a duplicate of 82lsju's thread a couple hours earlier.

I just wanted to pipe in that I don't think tomorrow's attendance should be considered representative of the season. I have a feeling it's going to be significantly worse than usual. There's a triple whammy -- before the school year, non-Power-5/non-traditional opponent, and most of all... Labor Day Weekend.

Based on the interest level of friends, a scan of the GoStanford website, and a perusal of StubHub, tomorrow's game is looking unusually empty. There are way more tickets up for sale -- I think a lot of normally-rock-solid season ticket holders just had out-of-town plans for the weekend.

But for me, the game is a fantastic way to kickoff the 3-day weekend -- it should be a gorgeous summer evening with a great opponent. For people who are in the area without tickets, this game looks like a particularly good opportunity to grab seats at a bargain on StubHub. Probably the best deal I can recall given the anticipated weather, the quality of the opponent, and the excitement about the team. 


If the team can be as good as I hope it will be, and consistent, let's see what happens with attendance late in the season. (although I agree there is an overall negative macro trend)
