My daughter is a Freshman at FAU. I went to the FAU v. Tulsa game a few weeks ago, and this 0-2 (6-6 in 2013) team has a very large student section that was full.
Yes it is a much larger FBS C-USA program with a vibrant campus life and new stadium (from which you can see the Atlantic ocean). But....there is aggressive attempts to involve the student body that I don't see at YSU.
At FAU, the HC Charlie Partridge (who replaced Pelini) wears red pants in the second half if the student section fills in the first half. Students get free FAU t-shirts at nearly every game. Partridge attended the new student orientation and mingled with the students (and approached and took a selfie with my daughter and her suite-mates). There was a concert and bonfire before the home opener to create hype.
Maybe an apples to oranges comparison in terms of programs, but the effort doesn't have to be any different.

FAU has been doing a nice job, I live 10 minutes from their stadium!

If you want more causal locals in the seats heres what I think would work.
1. Win
2. Do some things like the Pirates do. What happened to our fireworks games? There's got to be other things like concerts they can do on the field afterwards that would require a game ticket to attend
3. Start looking at what minor league baseball teams do and steal some idea
4. Play someone people have actually heard of.
5. Dunking booth featuring Paladin
