     It's considered a sellout if all the tickets to all the seats are sold and we go from there.  If all the tickets to all the seats are sold and no one shows up it is still considered a sellout.  Since every seat for at least the remainder of the season is sold every game through 2007 will be considered a sellout.  The sellout string will at last through at least this year.  It is hard to understand how we continuously set attendance records when Memorial Stadium should be full to start with.  Are we counting the kids that sneak in?
