The thing to remember about this is that football was only a $5 million opportunity if it was turned around.
Yesterday’s season finale was a great one not only for the result on the field, but for the butts in the seats. Thee official attendance for yesterday’s Bucket game was 52,105 fans, marking the second time this season that Purdue had a home attendance over 50,000. The lowest attendance of the season, a night game against Nebraska, was 41,411. The highest was Michigan, Purdue’s first sellout in many, many years, as 60,042 fans in attendance at one of the hottest home games ever.
