Mgoblog members heading to Utah

Submitted by Sione's Flow on August 30th, 2015 at 6:40 PM

I will be heading to SLC to support the Maize and Blue. I was curious to know if any other Mgoblog members are going to be in section E32 of Rice-Eccles.

W12, row 60. Meeting 4 friends. Very excited. I don't think the Cal Stadium backdrop has any rival, but I'm also biased (10 year season ticket holder to Cal). Wearing Maize and a road #4 jersey. Anyone tailgating beforehand? Hit me up! How many M fans do we thing will attend? I think 5000...

Thinking of going Maize just to stand out a little like some others have mentioned. Good times to be had.

I thought of doing the Harbaugh get-up but the maize will pop way more amongst the red than the blue will. I'd love to see a significant number of maize people dotting the crowd Thursday

I'm the Captain so odds of being on time are better than average. Did a trial run last week, if the Radisson driver is on time I might make it. If not, Squatters has a decent selection of beer...

I was going to attend en route back from work in Vegas...until my counterparts requested a meeting in NY instead. Now I'm going to NYC and missing the game.

Sold my ticket today, unfortunately.

I am unthrilled by this turn of events.

N23 for me, that is until the seller stiffs me so then I'll get better seats. Bought the tix on stubhub in April and he's waiting until the last possible moment to deliver them, if he does at all.

Will be in town working and taking customers to the game. Staying at the university Marriott, if anyone isn't going to the tailgate, it would be great to sanction a bar for pre-game.

Also I'll be bringing a cowbell :)

I'll also be in College Park for the Maryland game.

Probably the only two games I'll be able to make this year unless it's postseason play.

Next year I'll be at the Michigan/UCF game.

Do you mean 15k M fans in the endzone or total? Because my guess is there will be more M fans there than that.

Some Ute season ticket holder posted somewhere befor that Oregon had ...maybe 3500 fans there, max. I think the unique combo of Harbaugh & Labor Day weekend will bring a lot of MAIZE & BLUE to SLC

Over 15,000 M fans in a stadium of only 45,000? Not even considering the fact that this is easily one of the biggest home games Utah has ever had

I think we'll be lucky to get around 5,000

I agree. I was at Folsom in Boulder in '96 which holds 52K, I believe. Even 5K is a lot of opposing fans

If you're lucky to get 5000, that means you didn't sell out your allotment of tickets along with the many people coming to scalp, buy through Utah, or stubhub it. If we had 15k, they'd still have twice as many fans as us there.

Michigan's allotment was over 5,000? I wouldn't think we'd have that much for such a small stadium. If we did, that certainly changes my guess. I figured we'd maybe get 2-3k from Utah

The guy I bought tickets from told me he had five inquiries including mine the day I bought them. He's a Utah Alum but is out of town due to Labor Day and ...making quite a bit of money off selling his tickets. The Utah fan talking about Oregon also mentioned BYU as comparable but in my mind, the Michigan fan base is substantially larger than both Oregon (for a PAC-12 road game) or BYU and outside the state of Utah, that rivalry is not big. But when you have a rabid Harbaugh-driven fan base, we may just have a truly significant measure of fans and set a new standard for games played there.
