No doubt, it had a big effect on last year's game, even though the rain never materialized. There were a lot of people across the Bama forums that said they cancelled their plans to come because of the prediction of rain. Same thing could happen Saturday. As long as we keep winning Nattys, I'm not too worried. I'm betting we get about 70 thousand on Saturday. I'm doing my part; there will be 5 of us. 8) Title: Re: "Examining the 4 years of dipping Alabama A-Day attendance numbers" Post by: 2Stater on April 14, 2016, 08:30:30 AM Oh, and Saturday = :popcorn2:

Doing that from the stadium, though, is hit or miss and severely drains the battery on my phone, but I'll give it a shot.

RTR! We can't forget that before 2007, the largest A-Day crowd in history had probably been ~45,000. Many years it was only 20-30k (at least in the 90s and early 2000s when I was going). Being there in 2007 was quite a sight though. My brother and I got to the stadium early (at least an hour before the game), and every 5 minutes one of us would say, "I'd bet there's XX,XXX people here"...the X's just kept going up. Needless to say, we had no clue how many people had swarmed the stadium after we'd already gone in. They ended up turning away 5-10k people.
