It's come to a point in past where general admission ticket holders were leaving because they couldn't even stand somewhere and watch the game. The hill, the student section, and the walkways were just sardine canned.
I'm thinking 33k and change is all we can handle, even if we ban the fire marshal.
Agree. No way we can handle 35k. In my opinion that would just be irresponsible. I want the place to be packed but no way should 11k be let in w/ no place to sit.
I agree with both of your sentiments. However I think they will be adding additional end zone seating. I would anticipate them doubling or tripling the end zone seating.
I believe it will be more than 35K when it's all said and done. This is just my .02.

I couldn't tell if you were being facetious or not, but yes, you can pay extra and get a huge cup along with a bottled drink.
I was being serious. Only way to get ice is to spend more money for a larger cup?
Yes. That's the only way.

"MIAMI GAME – We’re aware that more needs to be done when the Hurricanes visit Boone (Sept. 17) in front of what is expected to be a record crowd at The Rock. Every upgrade we reveal over the coming weeks will be expanded further for the Miami game."
Saw this earlier and was going to post. This is my biggest concern here, that the PTB are not ready for what is going to hit them. This makes me feel a LITTLE better.

We don't know. The temp bleachers have been different sizes.

I hope they open more gates. It's a nightmare to get in sometimes.

With the early start time there will no doubt be folks showing up to close to kickoff and they will get jammed up at a gate. Really need to expedite the process and get the stands filled in time

Definitely agree, and I am also interested to hear how long they will allow people to stay in the lots after the game. (I'm not actually sure what the answer to this is on a normal gameday.)

I think you get one hour after the end of the game as of right now.

This crowd will not disappoint. It's September and weather will not play much of a role. This game is bigger than the weather.

As a past president and founder of a high school athletic booster club I LOVE PEPSI. I will be forever grateful for what they did for us.

Atlanta and New Bern are almost equal distance from Boone. I love both Coke and Pepsi.
