There were 9,800 alumni tickets sent out for every game, so the announced total includes that number. My guy in the ticket office tells me that the following totals were what was actually in the stadium this season. Pittsburgh, 10,389 actual, 21,840 announced = 11,451 fudge Savannah State, 3,562 actual, 15,883 announced = 12,321 fudge Ohio, 3,612 actual, 16,718 announced = 13,106 fudge Central Michigan, 3,659 actual, 18,568 announced = 14,909 fudge Buffalo, 2,458 actual, 15,162 announced = 12,704 fudge Can't State, 4,240 actual, 16,134 announced = 11,814 fudge As you can see, there is a wide variance between actual people in the stadium and the number of tickets they send out. On average its a fudge of 12,717 imaginary fans per game. Pretty depressing numbers. Hard to have any credibility when you are making stuff up like this. Even the Pitt game had more imaginary fans than real fans in the stadium.
