Like any great statistic

I made it up.
Late 70s it did seem that the students extended from the corner on the bench side to where it straightens to the entire side that faces the benches. Probably like 60 percent of 10000. Which of course equals 7000.
Fyi, I do think back then if they weren't able to sell the tickets they would allow more students in. In any event the student to non student ratio was higher than anyplace I've seen hoops.

How the heck did Charlie Moir make it work at VT? -- Roanokie 02/22/2022 11:31AM

Brutally honest answer? A really weak schedule. We played about a 5 game -- UEMcGill 02/22/2022 5:43PM

We usually played in a pre-Christmas tournament that was pretty decent -- Nortazhokie 02/22/2022 6:53PM

Yeah, we played some "name" teams, but you have to frame it to that time. -- UEMcGill 02/23/2022 2:07PM

A 7000 student section at Cassell -- Vippie1 02/22/2022 1:00PM

And we occupied the mid-court seats from baseline to baseline. That will -- Nortazhokie 02/22/2022 5:12PM

We(two students) had seats about 10 rows up -- crazylane 02/22/2022 5:18PM

Where'd you get that number from? -- Will Stewart

02/22/2022 2:34PM

The kids were skinnier back then Will. ** -- GreenvilleVT 02/22/2022 4:53PM

You’re not very good at statistics or math if you think that = 7,000 😳 ** -- BackInTheBurg 02/22/2022 3:11PM

Did they ever have access to unsold single game tickets? ** -- Femoyer Hokie 02/22/2022 2:37PM

Don't think so... -- EDGEMAN 02/22/2022 4:42PM

Cassell in 1979-1984 was better than ANY arena in America in 2022 for noise -- hokiepro 02/22/2022 2:24PM

So true as I was there from 1979-1983 -- bkw83 02/22/2022 4:56PM

I was there 82-86, and have to agree. -- Gobbler Guru 02/22/2022 9:10PM

I agree, basketball was much more fun to attend... -- Old Line Hokie 02/22/2022 6:12PM

I remember the 1988 home game against -- GCHokieof91 02/22/2022 3:43PM

I was there. Don't think we'll see a VT team score like that anytime soon. ** -- Hokie Rebel 02/22/2022 10:07PM

True that. -- NC Hoke 02/22/2022 2:39PM

^^^ This. Today's Cassell is loud. 1984 Cassell was nuclear. It was... -- VToncologyNurse 02/22/2022 1:08PM

we camped out for DeVoe's best season- the '72-'73 run up to the NIT crown -- HtownHokie 02/22/2022 2:10PM

Man that was good times…great crowds ** -- WV Gobbler 02/23/2022 1:49PM

Wish they would allow more students in. I feel that would come! Don’t like -- bhokie 02/22/2022 9:08PM

Wish more students would support the women’s basketball team, -- RJHokie 02/22/2022 9:17PM

Went toe to toe -- crazylane 02/22/2022 12:47PM

I was at that Memphis State game and Cassell was deafening! ** -- Hokie Knight 02/22/2022 2:06PM

When Moir was recruiting, there were far fewer recruiting restrictions. -- Femoyer Hokie 02/22/2022 11:43AM

Don’t the same rules apply to everyone? -- NC Hoke 02/22/2022 12:52PM

Problem with Charlie was that he put together a great class every 4 years -- HOKIESHARK 02/22/2022 12:31PM

Saw a bit of that in the '85 class -- Roanokie 02/22/2022 1:49PM

Yep. -- Will Stewart

Tom Abatemarco was key to getting Dell. -- HokiesChemicals 02/22/2022 3:54PM

We got him because he was shady. He couldn't stay anywhere too long. -- UEMcGill 02/22/2022 5:09PM

He was definitely shady. He fit right in on Valvano's staff. -- HokiesChemicals 02/22/2022 5:22PM

Oh, yeah. My aunt worked in admissions during the Washburn debacle at NCSU -- UEMcGill 02/22/2022 5:47PM

I think they saw Dell something like 30 times that year. -- Chris Coleman

02/22/2022 2:17PM

Too bad we didn’t see Steph or Seth that often. ** -- GreenvilleVT 02/22/2022 4:55PM

Like any great statistic
