I just read a very disappointing statsistic. In 1977,

the last meeting between Clemson and Notre Dame, there were fewer than 50,000 fans in attendance at Death Valley. I'm sure this stat isn't lost on the ND team, and probably played a part in Brian Kelly's comments about being able to handle our crowd noise. Hopefully we can do better this time.
And I hate to say it, but if this game is not sold out, I hope the athletic department will put tarps over the empty seats, like they do in the NFL. I'd much rather see tarps than empty seats while watching the game on my TV.
Go Tigers!
Beat Notre Dame!

yet those 50K used to be able to STOP GAMES
Sep 30, 2015, 9:10 AM

with the fan noise, something the 80,000 today cannot do. Even got an NCAA rule passed because of the ruckus that used to be raised.
The Miami game in 2005 is the only game I know of in the last 25 years that has approached the noise level that the late 70's-80's crowd used to bring.
What's the problem? Cant we even GET LOUD anymore?!?!?! Are we too busy texting out buddy across the aisle to care?

You have to account for inflation
Sep 30, 2015, 9:13 AM

50,000 in 1977 is equal to 190,000 in 2015 attendance.

Notre Dame has a huge national following. Maybe the largest. I expect to see somewhere between 15k and 30k Domers in attendance.

"We're not coming to watch the game". You would think folks would know better. The people in the corner seats probably didn't show up either

Tickets were $8.00. Minimum wage was $1.90

Some had the poor and couldnt swing it
50,000 was probably as good a gate as they expected

I don't know what you have been drinking, but that is the dumbest comment that I have read in a while. You really think that the Notre Dame folks are looking at the 1977 attendance figures and using that as motivation? Please!
