Anyway don't get too down on the attendance figures Thanksgiving weekend is just a bad weekend for small college football. I've been going to Mount Union playoff games for years, and thanksgiving weekend is Always sparsely attended compared to the rest of their games.
It's a combination of travel plans, students not being on campus etc.

I thought that 3800 was low! Thought that it was better to report a low number to save some bucks.

Strollo bid 20k seats. I bet it is about half the selling price, so that would be about $10 x 20k or $200,000 we paid the NCAA to host. Does not matter how many people actually show, we still owe. I doubt we have ever recovered our payout, even in the 90's. Believe me, He bought us into the post-season. I have to respect that.

Since we have won like 17 straight home play-off games, I would say money well spent. Kudos to the AD.
