[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 982954, member: 1776"] I would assume the attendance number is tickets sold, not butts in seats. Pretty much all entities - professional and college report tickets sold, not how many are in the stadium. There was an article from the Wall Street Journal on that a couple of years ago where they went back and got the actual tickets scanned numbers from over 100 FBS schools and the avg ratio of butts in seats vs tickets sold was around 70% for FBS programs. There were a handful of schools who were over 90% and I remember being surprised by what schools they were. They were not the ones you would assume.

Article is now behind a paywall so I can't double check that. Assuming my memory isn't faulty that would mean GT's 'real' attendance is more in the 28-29K range. [/QUOTE]
