Attendance was actually much better than I expected. No way was it 49K. Capacity is listed at 50,424. There were virtually no sections I saw in the upper deck that were "full". At the start of the game the row I sit in had a total of four occupants, me and three Cal fans. A few people arrived a bit later (season ticket holders who hadn't shown up for any games before) but there were plenty of empty seats in section 232. It was much better attended than Utah or even Oregon, but it wasn't 49K.

In the dim, distant recesses of my memory, I seem to recall that when the new stadium was being built, there would be the capability to add 12,000 to 15,000 additional temporary seats for potential overflow games like Cal, SC, UDFG, etc.  I realize that it might seem a bit far off, but I'm confident that Stanford football will rebound, and while the 85k crowds are a distant memory, do we actually have the capacity to have 62k to 65k?
