Attendance and Impact
The spring game drew official ticket claims of 27,772, making it the third-most attended in CU history. However, estimates suggest only around 10,000 fans were present. This year marked a change, as the game was not televised and free tickets were offered.

Despite these challenges, he praised the loyal fans and student body for their continued support. “We still have a lot of people out there crazy about CU football,” he remarked, encouraging optimism for the upcoming season.
