Superbowl Attendance...........

01-30-12, 05:11 PM

One question in a pool I am in is......

What will be the attendance? closest without going over

I looked into this and last year the attendance was 103,219. Now dallas stadium has 80,000 seats, so did they make more seats for the superbowl to reach 103,219? 103,219 is only 766 off from the record. I think this superbowl may beat the record or come close considering its a huge revenge game and matchup. Thing is Indianapolis only seats 63,000, so my question is how will they accomodate so many? Any guesses on how many will attend?

NFL aims to avoid Super Bowl seating snafu

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/thehuddle/post/2012/01/nfl-aims-to-avoid-super-bowl-seating-snafu/1

After fans at Cowboys Stadium were displaced, resulting in lawsuits, plans at Lucas Oil Stadium include only 254 temporary seats.

Last year's capacity was so high because they added 15,000 temporary seats and counted standing room only tickets; this year, there are less than 300 temporary seats and less room for standing room only. I don't think they'll get to 69,000.
