Before we pound Youngstown into the ground, and beat Penguin fans to death, the economic situation has crushed YO more than any city I know.

There is no way there was 11,000 people at that YSU Misery State game last week. The athletic department clearly goes by what tickets were sold not how many people actually showed.

Happy Penguin, "DON'T FORGET WE AREN'T CLIMATE CONTROLLED" You're kidding? All this time and I never noticed the rain and cold! Every team in sport reports tickets sold, not people through the turnstiles. NDSU does the very same thing too. The INDIANS do this? I've been to tribe games when they reported 12,000 that I know I could have gone around the stadium and shake the hand of every person actually in a seat!
Some people in our conference don't have to contend with the elements. Just saying....

Hell the Indians have noticeable differences as well.Every other school scnas their tickets unlike YSU so they can very easily give a more accurate attendance number.
NDSU scans all tickets
Everybody scans all tickets, but the number reported as "attendance" is tickelt sold not people in the stands.
