RowdyZip Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Wednesday night on tv? Just over 3k. Win out through the bracket buster and Joe MAY start to care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexopats@yahoo.com Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I heard numerous people talking about the game while at the Rec today, so I expect a pretty good crowd personally. Word is spreading about the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wednesday night against a .500 MAC West opponent? 3k might be the best we can hope for. Most "Joe Akrons" might still thinks we play in the same division as Mount Union until we can start getting some votes in that Top 25 poll.

zippy5 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 i'd say about 4k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 i'd say about 4k That would be great. Sadly, I'm going to guess more in the range of 2,500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Zip Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I'm guessing 2,679 will be in attendance. This is definitely one of those games that scares me -- one where Akron teams traditioanlly come out flat. I'm hoping this team can get away from that consistent behavior by Zips teams of the past and route all these games agains the West to set up a nice meeting with Oral Roberts.

mes102 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I would love to go to every single game as a student; however, I can't go to majority of the games. I coach basketball and majority of our games are on wednesdays and saturdays. So it's hard for me to catch any games usually...been able to catch a few, show up after halftime for a few after coming from practice, and so forth...but it's just hard...so in some cases, there are people that care, just can't make it due to other obligations... which is why i would guess that a Televised, weekday, game will get between 2-3K...

WinZip Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Last year on Wednesday, February 9 @ 7:00PM 2,826 fans showed up to support our Zips. I think this years squad is 300 fans more exciting at least. I'll put my guess at 3,126. I'll be content with anything over 3,000 happy with anything over 3,500 think something is wrong with 4,000+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Last year on Wednesday, February 9 @ 7:00PM 2,826 fans showed up to support our Zips. ..... I'm not 100% sure on this, but I believe that UA counts basketball attendance the same way as football attendance, i.e. tickets sold plus student ID cards scanned vs. butts in seats. If so, then the announced attendance would be greater than the number of fans who actually showed up due to the fact that a number of season ticket holders do not show up for every game but would be counted in paid attendance at every game.

GalleyBoy Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 They won't announce less than 3000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinZip Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I suppose I am predicting the announced attendence then? I may lose hundreds of dollars in my attendance betting now… I’ll go somewhere between medium empty and medium full… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave in Green Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I think the only thing we can go by is official announced attendance, unless someone wants to take the time to count individual butts in seats, and I'm not volunteering for that. Just be prepared for the actual crowd to be somewhat smaller than the announced crowd depending on the number of season ticketholder no-shows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you got anything to say about this, 'Meister? Traditioanlly, I don't comment on these types of threads, but since you asked - 2 things...... 1. attendance will be 3,333 2. There is an old saying that there is no I in team. Well it's equally true that there is no T in agains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zipmeister Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Can't make the next two because of neck surgery last week. Bring it home by 14 boys ! I am going to have to go with Hip on this one; 14 sounds like a good number (per half if the Zips play well). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
