Announced tickets sold:  13,000


Actual attendance:

Ohio  4,000
NIU   2,000
Other  3,000

Total actual attendance:  9,000


Central Michigan brought huge crowds the previous times Ohio played in the MAC title game.  Attendance was around 25,000 for both of those games. 

I don't think NIU travels very well for away games, but I hope they prove me wrong.

Guess I misread Bobcatattackers on this.  Thought I'd get several responses.

It's disappointing that the 9000 number is probably reality.

I'd be thrilled if we have 4000 in green.

I think there will be close to 15,000 there.  Unfortunately there will be a lot more Ohio fans there, so the stadium will look empty.  The TV cameras will pick up NIU's sideline for most of the game.
