YSU Penguin Athletics > YSU Penguin Athletics
3 more wins!!! BO-LIEVE!!!
Penguin Nation:
The stadium supposedly seats 16K, although it sure looks like it is way smaller than that. I only saw the visitors side, and at the peak I'd say 300 being generous. The announced attendance was 2610...which I guess is possible if they were packed on the home side.

After the game, the feeling was mutual amongst the fans and team, we got three more to go. They believe and so should we.
Beat Missouri State!!

We complained about our small crowd. Radio said they only have a few hundred people showed up for the game. How small was the crowd from your point of view?
Historically, they always have small crowd. Were you able to talk to some of their fans and find out why?

At one point in the 1st quarter, there were definitely more total people on the sidelines (players, coaches, cheerleaders, fans) than in the stands. I think early on and then late in the game there may have been a couple hundred people in the stands, thanks to WIU's band.

With that kind of attendance and lack of large sponsors in their suites, how could they justify the expense to have a football program in this conference. They are worst than the Zippy.
The amazing thing is that they were actually able to recruit good players with that miserable facility and fan support.

On TV, it showed the home stand behind WIU bench. I don't think they had more than 500 people. I actually thought they had block off the other side to make everybody sit at the home side to enhance the appearance of a larger crowd. We had games in Stambaugh stadium with announced attendance of 15,000 and had 4,O00 butts on the seats (no, they were not standing up).
WIU probably did the same thing.

So I guess we are not alone
IAA Fan:
It sounded as though they normally get around 5k and there was quite a bit of rain earlier in the day, that just let up prior to kick. Not making an excuse, jus repeating what the WIU TV announcers said. They were so bad I had to kick on 570. The delay was not too bad this time ...really no more than a few seconds.
