It was empty at the top and there were some empty seats spread throughout.  I will say 75% optimistically.  But it did get loud.

I also saw the attendance listed as 6,812. It looked 10,000 plus on TV.

I wonder if they let a lot of the students in free after the game started.

I was listening to the radio broadcast prior to the game and Chris Stewart thanked several company's for buying bulk tickets to be given to the students.

I have one of those gameday ear radios and was at the game as well. There were some empty seats but it wasn't to bad I heard Chris stewart and Tom Roberts say they thought it was around 8-9 k possibly, and yeah the crowd was loud!

Yeah, I am pretty sure my eyes did not deceive me! (watched on TV and I felt sure it looked like close to at least 10,000. So, since most of you posting here have said as much, maybe there were many students who got in...who weren't counted?

Exciting game....free or pay, AG and his team gave a got it done.

This may be correct.  In the beginning of the game they showed a wide shot and the top was empty.  Later it was not totally empty.
