That is the number of media representatives given credentials to cover Cardinal football's home game against Oregon on November 7. (Normally, they top out at 100 to 130 for important games.) The press box was SRO and then some, just one measure of the import of the nationally televised game in which the Ducks met their Waterloo, 26-20. Other indicators: a sold-out 50,424-seat stadium, 150 credentialed photographers (75 to 100 is the typical count) and 39 NFL scouts in attendance (typically 5 to 15).
