[Husker] The Good, The Bad and the Ugly

[Mike Jaixen]

My understanding is that attendance starts with all
tickets sold to the game, which is somewhere aroun
81,000.  Then all the people with passes are added in:
 media, concessions, officials.  I don't know if
players and coaches are added in either.

But since game workers and media vary from game to
game , that's why attendance varies from one week to
the next.
