Were there actually over 2,000 in the house?
ESPN says 1208.
Just going by what the EMU announcers said on ESPN3 and the box score on the Ohio website. Since it was a doubleheader with EMU's men's and women's teams, maybe they counted double.
I was there, no way was there more than 1,000 people in that building. Unless they had droves of people hidden away in the back offices.
That was my second game in Ypsilanti, I will say there was more energy in the building than my first experience.
