Within the press release, there are details about the other boards. A "super ribbon" to go above the student section in the north endzone that will measure 12.5 ft by 180 feet. That is approximately 3x the height of our current ribbon boards, and pretty much confirms that it will be used...

69’ tall…you must be talking about the SEZ board. No chance they are putting one that big over the student section. I have yet to see anywhere official confirm what is or is not being put in the NEZ. A while back somebody shared the clipping below from a press release in June. It just says “new...

Where does one access the entrance to the East Colonnades? I haven’t been on that side of the stadium much and one time this year I was doing a walk about the stadium and noticed there wasn’t a clearly marked ramp for it in the SE tower.

Gies Memorial Stadium Sellout Watch 2025 Season Recap It was another fun and memorable home slate of games that featured: - 6 wins. 12-2 at home over the last two years. We may be starting to turn GMS into a tough place for opponents to come win. - 5 great weather days. I truly think the...

Gies Memorial Stadium Sellout Watch for Northwestern: First, apologies for not providing more updates lately. I don't know if the four straight sellouts got my out of my habit or what, but anyways, back on the horse... To be expected, this will be the lowest announced crowd of the season...

Final Gies Memorial Stadium Sellout Watch for Maryland: Should be a good crowd, but it visually appears slightly less sold than it did for WIU. Maybe with a nice day, there are a few day-of tickets sold. We'll see if I do any better than my prediction from week 1...I still don't have much...

Honored to be asked, and I wish I could, but 1) you may have noticed I've been posting a bit less - I've been very busy at work recently and it isn't letting up for a bit. 2) I just took one look at the Ticketmaster site and I have absolutely no idea how to inspect the traffic flow and identify...

Updated Gies Memorial Stadium Sellout Watch for Maryland: I'm going to have to shake off the rust on my ticket guessing this week. I think what the ticket tracker is currently showing is a little heavy, and we're headed toward a crowd of 55-56K. An added challenge in guessing attendance this...

Updated Gies Memorial Stadium Sellout Watch for Maryland. This will likely end up being just the second game this season for which I get to log an attendance guess (non sellout). With that said, since I've moved to a new way to tracking available/unsold tickets, I don't feel like I have a good...

It's been a few weeks since I've updated the Gies Memorial Stadium Sellout Watch. Since my last update, the Rutgers game was announced a sellout. Maryland is still a little ways away from sellout territory, but it might be able to get there. I know they are doing the Tickets for Veterans...

Not to add to the hysterical speculation, but I saw exactly that happen yesterday..... The amount of tickets appearing for the Ohio State game has been 99 for multiple weeks. Yesterday, it inexplicably jumped up to 500. Now, the tickets site still says Ohio State is sold out, so I wonder if...

Updated Gies Memorial Stadium Sellout Watch: There was no announcement today that the Rutgers game is sold out, but that should be coming any day. Sales for Maryland are also quite strong. I would guess, barring an unexpected losing streak, that game sells out as well. They may even be ranked...

I'll try to push out an updated Sellout Watch tonight, but wanted to get out in front of this: Rutgers is very close to being sold out. It might get announced as a sellout today. Stay tuned.

Nobody wants to talk about this after last night, but here is an updated Gies Memorial Stadium Sellout Watch: According to this latest update, Rutgers is effectively sold out. If that is legit, then I would expect a sellout announcement as soon as tomorrow. But I find curious though is that...
