I was there and the announced attendance is about right.

The one side of the stadium that they regularly showed was almost completely empty. The other side had some people in it, I don't know if it was 8700 though.

What does it matter? There was probably less than 1000 people in the stadium when the Huskies game ended.

if that number is actually accurate, would that be the largest (actual human beings present) attendance for EMU in the last 15 years??? Ive been there for NIU games at atleast 6 times and we've always been good and ive never seen more than 1000 people, no chance...

They have had eight games during that stretch with attendance under 5K and two games under 2K. There are DIII schools that outdraw EMU in football.

There are high schools as well...

There are probably high schools in Texas that get better attendance than we do.
