Games like UT in 2016 and MSU in 2015, so fun with Waldo packed (UT was my favorite because packed stadium and all Bronco fans). Shame it only happens every couple years. Maybe with the Cuse coming this year, we'll get close.

Unfortunately thanks to the media like ESPN, people think the only games they should care about are Highly Ranked Power 5 Tech Team playing Highly Ranked Power 5 State Team.

Cuse fan here...I expect about 300 Cuse fans to show up. It might be as high as 500...but I doubt we get there. Most Upstate NY based fans will either attend the NY State Fair or head to their lake houses for the last weekend of summer. Having it Friday night cut our travel crowd down by half by my estimation.

Opening Night usually draws our better crowds at Waldo. I think a lot of offices will be closed on Friday too, and that'll help. Haven't looked at WMU's academic schedule, but if it's while school's off, the student side should be a full house after a day of tailgating and an ACC opponent in town.
I'd be okay (and am thinking) we'll have about 20,000 total attendance, usually about 23K opening night, would love 25K though.

Coach Lester had told us that there are plans to eventually add a second level to the stands. There was no timeframe, however.

Which stands?

I want to say the sidelines. Coach talked about it with us during our visit up there last July.
