[QUOTE="g0lftime, post: 248347, member: 2672"] As a freshman in 1964 we had about 6500 total students on campus and a stadium that held about 60,000. It was a big deal when I became a senior to get upper deck seats on the East Side and you had to get there early to get a guest pass. The stadium is smaller now and we still have empty seats except for a couple of big games with lots of their fans. Even UNC is not selling out home games anymore and look at the number of alums in NC within driving distance. Duke is lucky to get 20,000 to a non-conference game unless it is a team like ECU. It probably has come down to how much is being charged to attend college games and so much is now on TV or the internet. In 1964 there were maybe one or two big Saturday games on TV and that was it. Wake Forest now sells beer and wine at home games. That will be interesting to see if their attendance is affected. HOWEVER, there is nothing like going to a game at Bobby Dodd and just being there with all the anticipation and excitement. [/QUOTE]
