YSU Penguin Athletics > YSU Penguin Athletics
No butts in the seats and tailgate lot was just as bad!

This number is tickets sold not butts in seats, every college does this so nothing special here. I would guess that there were around 3000 or so folks at the game. Hard to tell how many are in the loges.

The marketing department and basketball coach are all good people/workers. However people who call for their jobs before the season starts are not very good people.

1. Akron is offering a drawing for free tuition for spring semester to try to entice students to their upcoming Tuesday game. Attendence at MAC and lower levels of D1/1AA football is in the same ball park as YSU.
2. People have no obligation spend their money or time on any form of entertainment. They spend both on what they like given their resources or circumstances.
3. The 90s arent coming back. There are so many "stay at home" possibilities that it takes a major attraction to get people out. Look at how movie attendence has changed. The Indians have had competitive teams for two years, but their attendance stinks.
4. Maybe its time to revise expectations.

Stay at home possibilities are no excuse. Teams like Northern Iowa, North Dakota State, South Dakota State, South Dakota, Missouri State, Illinois State, Southern Illinois, have way more fans than we do. I watch it on TV every away game. This is not an excuse because if they're doing it we should be doing it and that doesn't consider the fact that we have a better football team than most of them. It's about priority and if the priority is attending a high school football game over a college football game you have problems; I'll go as far as to say small town losers go to the high school football games and live in the past. However, if you follow your high school football team and you support the Penguins you have a pass on that stereotype. However, if you attend your high school game and don't attend the Youngstown State game and you live in the valley shame on you. You are a small town mental midget.
And people spend their money on entertainment. If you call high school football games entertainment, then look there. Plenty of money being spent there.
