Nobody knows for sure how few people actually attended last Saturday’s Kansas-Wyoming football game at Memorial Stadium.
KU officials called the attendance 24,000, but that estimate was based on tickets sold. At kickoff, perhaps half that many people were in the seats and in the scholarship suites. At the end, only a few thousand people remained.
It was definitely the smallest crowd for a KU football game since the North Texas game that concluded the 1998 season. KU officials listed the attendance for that mid-November ’98 game as 20,000 with only about half that number showing up.
However, the lowest listed attendance at Memorial Stadium since the seating was expanded in the early ’60s was for the Oklahoma State game on Nov. 14, 1987. Kansas officials listed that crowd as 18,200.
