Saturday's Crowd....
« on: October 17, 2013, 04:28:02 PM »
What's the over / under on the Attendance for Saturday's game..?....

8,000...?....

What are the fans going to do...wait until YSU rolls into the the ND St. game at 9-1 before they start supporting this team.....

I read a number of posts early in the season of people bashing this team...enough is enough...lets rally and enjoy this ride...this team is solid...

I think they are poised to make a run this year....they have to stay somewhat healthy....

Lets get out to the games and start supporting this team....the attendance has been laughable
this year..!!!....

Well their is absolutely no social media blitz for this one like there was for last week. Perhaps they are hoping that for the simple fact it is Homecoming, people will come out. I think the fact it is a weaker league opponent and OSU plays at 3:30pm, it won't be nearly as big as last week.

It be nice to get 14-15k actual butts in the seats....

My guess is they are going to go absolutely all out for the North Dakota State game in November due to the fact Tressel is getting inducted into the YSU HOF. That was has the makings of a sellout a month out IF we take care of business.

The Vindicator bought plenty of seats for this game and distributed them at the Canfield Fair.  Handel's ice cream is giving a voucher for each purchase.  That plus homecoming and a winning team should lead to a good ticket pre-sale.  However, the weather forecast is very bad.  And casual fans don't show up in the rain.

Train,

When you scolded people about attendance, I decided to look something up.  Turns out attendance in the "Golden Age" was really nothing to brag about.  In 1991, the figure was 11,619.  Even after that championship, 1992 produced at average of only 11,935.  Even worse was 1993 when the figure dropped to 10,717.  It took two titles and three consecutive championship game appearances to climb over 15k when we drew 16,181 in 1994.  We averaged over 18k only once, in Tressel's final season in 2000, when the figure was 18,109.

I think that we are guilty of remembering selective large crowds and pretending that they were normal.  We have never drawn as consistently well as a Delaware or a Montana.  We are, however, in the top 15% for FCS schools on a yearly basis, and for that we should be grateful.

The good people of Northern Iowa would be very happy with a sellout November 9th considering that's where we play
