The crowd is fine.  I understand that people across the nation would expect a game with that kind of importance to get at least 50,000 in the stands.

I definitely understand that this will not happen routinely at Stanford.  So many things work against Stanford.  Private school, wealthy communities, a large percentage of immigrants, millions of transplants from other parts of the USA, ample TV options, etc., etc.

I know fans of other programs would look at that crowd of that size and worry that the AD\'s bills will not get paid if attendance does not pick up.  Stanford has a different business, err non-profit, model so all will be fine.
