There were 19 thousand for Home Opener against a team the 19 thousand thought would be a win. The Rice game had a certain camel to straw relationship with fans, I believe. I say, the attendance drops to 15 thousand Miners fans/El Pasoans out for a nice evening/sadists/masochists. Remember, it is a Friday night and high schools in El Paso play better football so seriously, 15 thousand might be a stretch. Add maybe a thousand Arizona fans who aren't there to see football, they are there because of players families, some sadists/masochists and such.
Announced attendance will be oh, right around 18-19 thousand.
A really cool over/under might be on how many will be in the stands at the start of the fourth quarter.
