They should track Spring Games by ticket revenue, not attendance. For example, Ohio State had 80k, but at $5 per ticket, that's $40,000 in revenue. Contrast that with 78k for Nebraska at $10/ticket, that's $78,000 in revenue. Alabama is expected to have a huge crowd, but tickets are free.

Here's the national Top Ten so far.

80,000 * 5 = 40,000?

78,000 * 10 = 78,000?

You are more than welcome to use revenue to make Nebraska #1. I don't think anyone will really care but I am sure it will make you feel like you won something.

If not revenue, how about this

Ohio had 1 out of every 145 Ohioans go to the game

Nebraska had 1 out of every 24 Nebraskans go to the game

You can use whatever you want. It doesn't matter much. Ohio State has a very large fan base but it isn't the only show in the state. There are 7 universities in Ohio that have around the same enrollment or more than UNL.

So you admit South Michigan (aka osu) = Akron?????

Assuming 70% of Ohioans are osu bandwagon fans, that would be 1 out of every 107 Ohioans would attend the spring game. That still would mean that you would need a stadium 4x as big to handle all the Husker fans (per capita)

Seems like in the Osborne/McBride years there would be about 35,000. You'd walk up on game day, buy your ticket and sit around the 40 yard line.

I think back in TO's time (which seems a lot longer than it actually was), Nebraska was literally the only school who ever had any type of crowd at their spring game.
