The Washington Redskins' chief marketing officer said Tuesday that he expects attendance "in the mid-40s" for Saturday’s Virginia Tech-Cincinnati game at 79,000-seat FedEx Field.
Mitch Gershman blamed lagging ticket sales, in part, on the Hokies' "unfortunate" loss at Pittsburgh two weeks ago. Neither Tech (3-1) nor Cincinnati (2-0) is ranked in this week’s Associated Press poll.
Gershman said more than 50,000 tickets have been distributed for Saturday, many to Redskins premium seat and suite owners who receive them as part of their season package. That group accounts for many of the tickets available on the secondary market, according to Gershman.
Before reading that, I expected at least 40,000 Hokies would show. (I also expected most of the readers here would attend.) If you're within a 4 hour drive, and not coming, how come?
