Yup -  they scheduled their home opener against San Jose State ... a
regional  "rival" that no doubt brought a good chunk of fans as well.

I remember  our opener NIU in 2000 ... even for a weeknight, the Huskies
brought more  fans than I remember any non-Big Ten foe to Ryan Field.

Also remember  that Stanford gets Notre Dame at home every other year or so
... that has  to help attendance as well.



San Jose State averages less  than 12K fans for their home games and  trust 
me NONE of them "travel" to Stanford to watch then play SJSU.  San  Jose State 
will be out of D1 football within 2 years.
 
Stanford also has counted on SJSU as an easy win the last five years but  
SJSU beat them a couple of times.
