Predict the number of Michigan fans in Arlington this Saturday
August 27th, 2012 at 9:24 PM ^
I'd say 35,001
August 27th, 2012 at 9:32 PM ^
BOOM! You just got Bob Barker'd
August 27th, 2012 at 10:43 PM ^
Come on, you need to show the whole fight. That snippet doesn't do Bob justice.
August 27th, 2012 at 9:25 PM ^
August 27th, 2012 at 9:26 PM ^
1 seat for Crisler lol
August 27th, 2012 at 9:27 PM ^
We sold out all of our tickets faster, right? I remember hearing something about that. I think it's a long enough trip for both teams that proximity will matter less than people think. Considering Michigan fans travel extremely well, I wouldn't be surprised to see it 60/40 in favor of Michigan. Also wouldn't be surprised to see it 60/40 the other way.
August 27th, 2012 at 9:31 PM ^
It's quite a bit farther for Michigan fans than Bama fans. I am thinking 60-40 Bama but we will represent well there.
August 28th, 2012 at 1:33 AM ^
It's 1,181 miles from Ann Arbor to Dallas.
583 miles from Tuscaloosa to Dallas.
As usual, the SEC team has a shorter distance to travel but it's a longer trip than usual for them.
I was afraid for a long time that Bama fans would overtake the stadium since they are closer but I could actually live with it 60-40. Just nothing more than that. I've seen bowl games in the past where it looked like it was 70-30 for our opponents to us. I don't want to see that.
August 28th, 2012 at 9:15 AM ^
August 28th, 2012 at 10:39 AM ^
We are better fans. Better how? Just better. And after Michigan wins, Alabama fans will be happily invited to UM tailgates. Cheers, bitches.
August 28th, 2012 at 11:31 AM ^
I thought it was going to be overrun by crimson too. If the Dallas area alumni show out in force, it should bring it up to the 40/60 range with Michigan fans not being blown away.
August 27th, 2012 at 9:35 PM ^
We fly out Wed morning - work tomorrow is going to be torture. Prepaid for tailgating in Lot J between Jerryworld and Rangers Park. 100 degrees and sunny all weekend, so pack the sunblock and GO BLUE!
August 27th, 2012 at 11:32 PM ^
We're in Lot J too! Look for the Jager flag flying high over our tailgate.
August 27th, 2012 at 9:36 PM ^
I have also been thinking 60 - 40 with bama having more fans there. Can't wait to get there!
August 27th, 2012 at 10:46 PM ^
I think 35-65% bama. It's just closer for them.
August 27th, 2012 at 9:37 PM ^
August 27th, 2012 at 9:51 PM ^
August 27th, 2012 at 10:19 PM ^
... can't afford flights? Damn, that must be one depressed state.
August 28th, 2012 at 9:19 AM ^
August 27th, 2012 at 9:40 PM ^
More than 20.
August 28th, 2012 at 9:58 AM ^
August 27th, 2012 at 9:45 PM ^
All I know is I leave Thursday and will meet up with my Brother and two other guys we tailgate with so the number will be at LEAST four.
Dont know how high the number will go but the floor is set at four.
August 27th, 2012 at 9:46 PM ^
Oh, did you mean Arlington, TX? I live in VA, you will have to be more specific.
August 27th, 2012 at 9:47 PM ^
August 27th, 2012 at 9:52 PM ^
my guess is either 7 or 60,000. somewhere like that.
August 27th, 2012 at 9:55 PM ^
you gotta account for the 5% or so of neutral fans/locals looking for a good time...
August 27th, 2012 at 10:08 PM ^
...who should call 867-5309?
August 28th, 2012 at 12:05 AM ^
August 28th, 2012 at 12:34 AM ^
August 27th, 2012 at 10:08 PM ^
August 27th, 2012 at 10:10 PM ^
People always overestimate crowd sizes
August 27th, 2012 at 10:14 PM ^
August 27th, 2012 at 10:16 PM ^
35K from our side, but you never know how Issac will affect Alabama's fans and their travel plans.
August 27th, 2012 at 10:22 PM ^
Over 9,000.
August 27th, 2012 at 10:24 PM ^
What do we get if we guess correctly?
August 27th, 2012 at 10:27 PM ^
At least in spirit.
August 27th, 2012 at 10:28 PM ^
Enough to keep me covered if we run out of beer early.
August 27th, 2012 at 10:45 PM ^
There has to be at least 25000 since we sold that back in April or May then you add on the scalpers and people who buy on stubhub and you get up to 30000 to 35000.
August 27th, 2012 at 10:48 PM ^
Rendered obsolete by the above post. Nothing to see here.
August 27th, 2012 at 10:47 PM ^
If you guess correctly you get 16738274573.5678 mgopoints
August 27th, 2012 at 10:48 PM ^
it was 25000
August 27th, 2012 at 10:50 PM ^
36,500 UM fans; 40,000 Bama fans
Here's another question. How many fans will be in the endzone SRO areas?
I'm guessing about 2000.
August 27th, 2012 at 10:55 PM ^
less than 1 million. So you're saying theres a chance?
August 27th, 2012 at 11:04 PM ^
The ones living in Arlington, or just the ones at the stadium?
August 27th, 2012 at 11:20 PM ^
August 27th, 2012 at 11:21 PM ^
August 27th, 2012 at 11:57 PM ^
Over 9000
