Now that expansion talks are no longer even on the table can we all agree that attendance is pretty much meaningless?

I love beating on USF attendance numbers as much as anyone (mostly because they one of the few programs that has their actual attendance number exposed because of the stadium they play in) but does it seem meaningless at this point?

Nah....bring on those TSA numbers!!!!

What is dead may never die.

I thought UCF was supposed to have a "white out" last nite? Watching the game, it looked more like a "clear out". So many UCF fans wearing clear that you could see right through to the benches. Cool effect because it really makes the place look empty.

No way, we dish it out just like everyone else so we need to take it when it's not great for us.

When the "actual" USF attendance count climbs out of the teens, please return to this conversation.

What interesting timing. I didn't see your game last night, but it sounds like it was a packed house.

True fan?

I'll let you know if we can let it die after about 7 pm Saturday. Should be 45k+ for ECU, but who knows with iffy weather,Labor Day weekend, and opening day of dove season.

Attendance has a strong correlation to program support and AD revenue.

38K for UCF on opening Thursday night isn't bad.

Cincy had 30K and UConn had 24K against FCS opponents.

ESPN reports that Memphis had only 10K....is that accurate? I know it was rainy, but wow.

No UCF males interested in dancing with her?

No, not just rainy. Tropical storm Harvey made its way into Memphis for an all day sh!tty weather day. Hard rain all day long and thru all of the game, winds 30-35mph, gusting up to 45mph, flooding with major streets/roads flooded out, many-many auto accidents with one fatality, 22,000 customers without power going into this morning and still out for some. So no, not just a rainy night. A crowd of 45-50,000 was expected for this game, that is till Harvey made its way into Memphis. Oh, did I mention how sh!tty of a day it was......Also, a shout out to our conference mates in Houston, with daily prayers for you guys and for the entire area for those that lost homes and loved one's.

Fun fact: UCF had more students (18,356) in attendance last night than USF had total in a few games last year.

You're not exactly bolstering the OP's position here.

USF flames, we flame.

Attendance smack is only purposeful on the internet IMHO. BC, Pitt and Syracuse all got into the ACC and their attendance would be basically middle of the pack in the AAC (Pitt highly inflates their attendance figures). Colorado got invited into the PAC and their attendance

TCU got into the Big 12 and their attendance was basically close to the top of the AAC. Similarly, Colorado got invited to the PAC despite putting around 40K butts into the seat.

There are just so many other factors, lucky breaks, timing, etc. that factor in that is more important in the grand scheme of thing when you consider conference affiliation.

Opening of fking dove season...?????

JFC the excuse train has a head of steam behind her.

How about no excuses. Real football fans pride themselves on spectating during horrific weather conditions. Your programs are soft.
