Attendance

[untjim1995]

Just left at halftime to take my seven year old son home. There were maybe 4000 butts in seats--WKU brought their usual allotment of a out 50 people. How this game got selected for a Thursday night TV game at the beginning of the year by CUSA just amazes me. Anytime we've played WKU here, a crowd of 10k butts in seats is really, really more than what should be expected.

We maxed out at a little under 10k. Looks way worse now that the students and breast cancer brigade are mostly gone.

The 17 should get used to this. That's what crowds will look like if they keep their friend RV in power.

they don't care if they are the only ones there, just as long as they get to have access to all things UNT sports related with their AD buddy.

it didn't bother them at all with the decline in attendance at the Super Pit and it won't bother them at Apogee.

Imagine what it would look like if the band weren't there

I tweeted a pic of the empty stadium to the Prez.

Or if the chair backs were not in the alumni side

most of the students went under the stands for a t shirt raffle and won't be coming back in.

If this game would have been played this Sat. I would have gone. Tailgating is fun.

Sat game 15k even with a shit team.

Maybe they'll stop scheduling us for Thursday games. Id rather not be on tv than show that crap. 

[redallover]

Band looks strong. 300?  Maybe 150 Hilltoppers?

[Green Mean]

Maybe.  But at least he's there.

What incentive do people have going?  I mean I ask in all seriousness.

[James329]

The 17 know the new AD will kiss their ass too, right?

"Fan" is shorthand for "fanatic."  If you are, and you can, then you go.

Looks like we have about 2000 fans after 15 years of this AD.  We had more in 1AA.

[Green Mean]

Fans also expect something of substance in return.  Time, money, effort etc is all being poured in to going to these games and given what's happened this season and for many many years now people just get tired of it.  This isn't to say people aren't pulling for them to win but I think the last thing something should be labeled as pathetic is our fan base.

Even though it is?

Yes, the terrible hiring, recruiting, coaching, and scheduling is 100% the fans fault.  Get your shit together fans.

What has the school done to truly increase the fan base?  The football team has been in utter shambles for a decade except for one season.

More will show up for the Halloween UTSA game. Most have Portland State hangover. The excitement that Chico's offense and D. Smith will bring is going to put some butts back in seats.

Well, duh.  I didn't say crappy football had nothing to do with it.  As a matter of fact, it has a lot to do with it.  But regardless of cause, the fact of the matter is, our fanbase sucks beyond suckiness.

It's ridiculous that we have all the early games during the scorching heat of September, and then a night game on October 31st, ensuring that people with kids won't come and students won't come. I'd be surprised if there's 5k people at that game.

Official Attendance:  10,155

Official Attendance:  10,155

Wow.

 

Not shocked at the number, because there was definitely that few people there. But I can't believe this is what the program has become. Truly ashamed and I believe the only reason a lot of those students were there was because they got free T-shirts if they stayed through the third quarter. But by the fourth, there were less than a dozen people in the wing. It was so pathetic.
