Pac-12 set to add Boise, 3 other MW schools
Nobody actually took attendance in those days except for the playoff games, where there were no free student tickets. The SID would eyeball it from the press box. And they would guesstimate based on 9,000 seats. But considering there were actually only about 7,500 seats, the guesstimates were a bit generous. The legendary Nevada game in the 70’s and the early 90’s Causeway games (except when Davis stupidly hosted at Hughes) had 10k with added bleachers.
