Jeebus, we have to engage in liecraft now.
They have turnstiles. If they wanted a REAL number, theyd have it.
I was a student 4 years, postgrad student for 2, and a season ticket holder for 24. I don't recall ever seeing turnstiles at The Swamp. For decades "attendance" was ticket sales (whether or not they attended) + the teams, staff, vendors, press and any other warm bodies they could count. Now they scan tickets, but I doubt they use that number. For this game there were no tickets.
All that said, whatever guestimate method was used I doubt other schools have more accurate counts.
