It pains me that the national media is playing the "empty seats" story alongside the "Stanford is really good" story.

The attendance of 43,000 is about 10,000 better than an average Stanford-Arizona game from the recent past.  Clearly, Stanford\'s success has had a noticeable impact on attendance.  Just not enough to fill the stadium for a critical game.

1998 - 30,169
2000 - 31,165
2002 - 33,800
2006 - 39,317
2008 - 30,689 (this was a Homecoming game too)
