Rutgers & B1G Attendance: a final look at the regular season

Related Topics: Big Ten Conference

It’s over!!! Bob will finally stop writing about football attendance for another nine months!

Maybe.

It was Rutgers’ last game of the 2017 season. It was a nice day with a good opponent.

Yes, it was also senior day. And RU reported a crowd of 35,021. Even I don’t believe that number.

Looking around and then on TV, there is no way that a crowd of that size was there. And that’s unfortunate. Not that you would have seen a great game; you wouldn’t have. But there were seniors - players, managers/trainers, band members, cheer and dance team - who had finished up four or five years in scarlet.
