Google cheatahs are destined for Dante's 5th Circle of Hell....just came across this now, let's just say, it's surprising.

Purely on ol Tim's recall, I swear...around 14K. Very small HC/BC crowd for the era, remember HC was 1-9 and BC was around .500.
Plus the 1976 game was 59-6.
Supposedly the attendance swelled around halftime, walk ups and people who decided to suspend tailgating activities.

Wait. On a 40 degree (I checked the weather) late November afternoon we only drew 50% - 60% of Fittons capacity against arch rival Boston College? Unpossible according to Crossports folklore. Next thing you’ll tell me is we didn’t sellout the Auditorium for basketball games in the early 70s prior opening the Hart Center.

Don’t remember the attendance but was there to witness a stunning HC 35-20 win. As I recall the day, it was overcast and rainy and close to darkness by the end of the game. IIRC, Peter Colombo, the QB from Brockton, had a good game.

I was there (for the whole game) and at the beginning of the second half there were substantially more people in the stands. I remember the BC players in tears as they left the field. |

12,006....probably more at game's end I wasn't there but think you're pretty close....sorta recall it being 12,500.
But based on those claiming to have been there, the attendance has ballooned to 45,000 over the years 
BTW, where is Pete Columbo these days ?
