SUU capacity is around 8000, so they had a great turnout.

No doubt. I was driving back from the JMU game, and literally stopped to watch the 4th quarter on ESPN3. Impressive turnout for them..

As it happens the game I watched most of was Kennesaw State at Jacksonville State. There's no way there was anywhere close to 17,000 people at that game. In fact as I was watching it I was thinking about what a shame it was that they had such a nice stadium and so few people were there.

The idea that the stadium was 73% full is a complete joke. I doubt that it was 25%.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

Weber had a similar issue in round 1. They announced attendance was only 6800 yet anybody with eyes could tell there was 10K+ at the game.
