Did I read this right?

Tailgate spots are now only $5 instead of $15?

That's right. Bud light and Clamato! Look for the green Sioux flag. We will be out there early since it is a noon kick off. Come by!

Decent amount disappeared since yesterday. Hopefully a packed, loud house on Saturday.

For the most part, this is still what it looks like. Since there's always a decent walk up crowd if they can sell about 200 / 250 today and tomorrow, they should be in business. That would help clean up a lot of the tickets left that aren't in the four end zone sections.

I'd say maybe 30 more have been sold in the lower left, 100 sold in the upper left, 20 sold in the upper right, and 100 sold in the lower right since that pic.

There might be a bigger walk-up crowd than most games as it is a 4 p.m. start and homecoming/Potato Bowl. I'd hope so, at least.

Except with it being Homecoming/Potato Bowl wouldn't people already know they are going to the game and already have their tickets

A lot of people figure it's cheaper at the box office than paying extra fees online

I wanted to share this because it is one of the many things I didn't know. I attended tailgating for MVSU this year - got there about 3 hours prior to kickoff. Just wondered around. Two hours prior to kickoff is when the team came and walked through the tailgate area. It really was pretty neat. The team comes in buses escorted by police with flashing lights. The band is there and they have a little parade. Correct me if I am wrong, but it appears the team will always do this two hours prior to kickoff. I would recommend coming early just to experience this.

That’s about right. I hang around the area about 2 1/2 hours and keep a lookout

It's called "Hawk Walk" and it's normally about 2 hours before game time. It's really cool for those who haven't participated.

Looking at the current ticketmaster map, and assuming the student section is full, I think we definitely be over 10,000 for the game Saturday.  The factor that always helps with attendance is the game weather forecast from your seat will be 72 degrees with zero wind!!!

Question on the tailgating,  my wife and I are coming in from Nebraska for the Homecoming game.  Last year I walked around the tailgate area but this year I had a knee replacement.  Can I show up the day of the game and get a tailgate spot so I may walk a little and then sit down?

You can buy extra $5 parking spots in the pay lots for your own tailgating. There will also be a free baked potato feed in the tailgate lot and should be a tent with tables/chairs where you can sit. There are also tables/chairs in the champions club tent. You shouldn't need to pay for your own spot in order to sit down.

I'm guess over 11,000 at least

There's about 780 (not counting tickets Idaho State doesn't use) tickets left in the non-end zone sections.

[forksandspoons]

Probably 150 tickets gone since around 7 p.m. yesterday
