Does anyone know what type crowd we are expected to bring? Since most of our lame-ass alums are still aglow from the osu win last week, I wonder if even half of these sheeple even know we are in a title game.
I've been to one bowl and one MAC title game (NIU) at Ford field and we were embarrassingly outnumbered both times. It's going to be ugly crowd-wise.
We're absolutely going to be outnumbered. With the game being in Michigan, playing a team from Michigan, that was always a sure thing.
However, I think Ohio has a strong turnout. WMU currently is about as high-profile of an opponent as you can get in the MACC and I think that helps build interest on our side. Plus, we haven't played in the MACC in a couple years. Seems to be a good amount of buzz on social media about the game/trip from OUr side.
Estimating based on Ohio filling about 5 reserved lower level sections and the rest being WMU fans, Im guessing the numbers will be around 5,000 Ohio fans to 32,000+ WMU fans. Personally, I think that will be a great football atmosphere even though we're the overwhelming minority.
I'm just basing on numbers on reports that WMU sold out their allocation, sold out the end zone General admissions and then bought the corner reserve seats (end zone to 20 yard line)on Ohio sideline and that the upper 300 seats are now being sold (which hasn't happened before for the MACC at Ford Field) Ohio fans will be just mostly delegated to sections between 20 yard lines on South side, everywhere else is WMU fans. Hopefully they don't have too much fun
