Does anyone know approx. how many total tickets are sold to this game? How about how many App tickets?

I think Gillin said he was either expecting or hoping for about 35k App fans, I don't know where he got that but assume it is all sold through App and Charlotte ticket office, or wherever. Do we expect ECU to bring about the same? 70k total attendance would be impressive for a G5 matchup on neutral field. Isn't capacity around 73k at BOA for football.
I may be incorrect. I believe he was expecting 35K total. I would suspect 35 to 45K will ultimately sell. Actual attendance is another story not known until game day.

35-40k would be a pretty awesome crowd considering it’s a Thursday night. Play this game at 7:00 on a Saturday and it’s 50k easily.

After reading that I’m encouraged but we have to do better. 50,000 would be incredible! Every App state fan alumni non alumni should do everything in their power to come to this game. 6 in my crew 107

Decent podcast from ECU. They acknowledge that App has the edge on paper and ECU needs to win the turnover and special teams battles to win.

They do believe they have the better QB and Thursday could be the Mike Houston coming out party. Let's make sure they're still one year away.

Overall pretty fair assessment from them.

The Pie-rats have eaten a lot of crow over the past several years. They aren't the cocky bunch they've been in the past. Little chirping here and there, just enough to keep it interesting.

Hate to bring it up but when does the team find out the whole Covid deal for the game? Can we assume that we are good? Any idea what our vaccine percentage is?

CSC reiterated on the Drive this morning that we are 95%. My understanding is that the unvaccinated are tested but I’m not sure when they will do that this week.

Is it too much to ask for a Shutdown defense from App this year?
