Doubtful. I think most schools report tickets sold. It’s the best way to inflate a number that a lot of other important efforts plug into, like marketing and advertising…
Guess the BC vs Cards Attendance

Louder Than Life is going to make it difficult for some to get to the BC vs Cards game.

48,294 per gocards.com.
Someone who sat in the east stands said there was a ton of people behind them who couldn’t bear the direct mid afternoon sun. So maybe the crowd looked smaller…

It's probably been said before, but the expansion to/above Schnellenberger should have happened before the upper, upper deck on the visitor side.
Good crowd. Great weather. Fun day.
I'll be sun burnt and hungover tomorrow.
Go Cards. I like this team

One thing to add about attendance - BC had maybe 50 fans there. Just a total embarrassment for a P5 program.
The actual attendance was 48,294.
So the average and median of the 22 predictions was REALLY CLOSE

Something I noticed yesterday, those ticket scanning devices don’t exactly work all that great. We tried, didn’t take, then they told us to just go in. So, if tickets scanned is the barometer, it’s majorly flawed. I couldn’t be the only one.
Yes, they must use the cheap ones. The scanners at Mercedes Benz and Lucas Oil were super accurate super fast.
Yesterday's attendance was the highest for a UofL home game since 11/27/21 playing UK. (11/27/21: 55,018).
Yep, they give it their best shot and if they can't get it to scan they just send you on and honestly I'm glad they do or we would never get in by the end of the 1st qtr..
I had downloaded my tix to my Google wallet, and they just could not get an indication that the tickets were scanned. I then opened them live in the Cards mobile app. They immediately scanned and produced a message that the tickets had already been scanned. They need to figure out these technical issues PDQ.
They have tremendous issues. I just don't know if it's mostly Louisville or also most of the other Ticketmaster clients as well. It's a pretty big mess.
Notre Dame will be a sellout.
Kentucky will be a sellout.
Duke is TBA. It really depends on weather and kick time and how good they really are. They play ND and FSU before they play us and could end up with 2 losses and could be unranked.
And we’re not a college football town per se where people just come because they know the Duke QB is good, name power and rankings have to get the casuals. Plus Duke fans won’t travel.
Virginia and VT I could see being cold kickoffs. UVA on Thursday night against a crap team, probably a 45k game. VT is awful and another cold fall day with a possible noon kick would be a bad crowd. Although if we beat ND and are ranked in those games, the crowd will be back.
I do think the casual fans we built up until 2016-2017 were used to big time football. We were ranked and had a Heisman winner. Playing FSU and Clemson for Gameday. Not to mention the years before with Miami in that kickoff game and Jameis. With the ACC not having to many of our rivals and fans that don’t travel, it’s hard to get he casuals interested in a game if it doesn’t mean something. That’s the issue of our location.

So what a lot of you are saying is that keeping paper tickets as an option is not such a bad idea afterall. It is a much easier and more reliable method of scanning tickets at the game site. (Of course, digital tickets are easier to transfer before game day but paper tickets are easier to transfer at the game).
I have felt from the very beginning that the ticket buyer should have the option of paper or digital.
Our admiration. 😂Cool what did I win?
