I expect actual attendance to be affected by the snow forecast for today, continuing until 9:00 tonight. Too bad.

Is supposed to be a storm, or just snow like the weather is want to do in mid-November? I saw all the streets have been pretreated, so the city is expecting a decent amount of snow.

St. Louisans: You live in the Midwest. Get used to snow!

I saw an old man running around Schnuck's this past weekend telling everyone who would listen he had a "buddy" in high places who told him the decision was coming down on Sunday and that everybody would need "three weeks' groceries."

Listed attendance was 10,015 so not quite a sellout.

It was a sellout because there were no tickets available before the game.

I guess the student turnout is the X-factor. I suppose once they sell out of the designated student section they allow students to buy tickets in other sections...although ultimately those students are going to enjoy the game wherever is clever.

Regardless, it was a good crowd that got to enjoy a tight win.
