A record crowd will be on hand when Syracuse University takes on Duke University in the Carrier Dome Saturday night.

SU athletics plans to release the final expected attendance number Thursday afternoon, said Joe Giansante, the executive senior associate athletic director.

Shirts were available at Manny’s on Marshall Street Wednesday that read, “Sold Out 35,446,” but Giansante said in an email that the number on the shirt is not correct.

Whatever the expected attendance, it will shatter the record for on campus attendance at a basketball game, which is currently 35,012 for the SU vs. Georgetown University matchup last February.

Tickets for Saturday night’s game officially sold out in December. However, there are still opportunities to win tickets through raffles and contests. Destiny USA is sponsoring one such contest where fans can register to win two courtside tickets.

With Syracuse’s win at Wake Forest Wednesday night, a win against Duke would give the Orange its best start in school history.
