Coming up on one hour to kickoff … Fresno State is a 25-point favorite over Idaho …
- Fresno State had some good ticket sales activity late in the week, but it was expecting only around 30,000 for its opener against Idaho.
That would qualify as a smallish crowd, especially coming off a 10-4 season that included a West Division title in the Mountain West and the Bulldogs’ first bowl victory since 2007. It would be among the smallest crowds for a home opener since the Bulldog Stadium was expanded in 1991 with the addition of 22 suites on the east side and 10,000 new seats, pushing the capacity to 41,031.
