As a season ticket holder I would be flat out disgusted if we played a majority of our home games during the week. I have to commute 2 hours each way, and I imagine it would be quite tough for me to make multiple mid-week games a season.

No one team plays the majority of their games mid-week. You would more than likely have to give up one, maybe two games a season. However, the national exposure is outstanding and something you simply won't get when you are playing on Saturday, going up against every AQ team in America.

Toledo did last year.

Thursday night. Friday night. Tuesday night x2. We only had 1 Saturday NIGHT game. 1 of the Tuesday night games started at 8pm and didn't end until 1am. Horrible for season ticket holders (like me) who live 1+ hour away. I left around the end of the 3rd qtr, which was 11:30pm!!!

I hate when we'd get midweek games, except Fridays. How was your attendance for those weekday games?

Thursday (season opener vs. New Hampshire) 20,106
Friday (vs. Boise St.) 28,905
Tuesday (vs. Northern Illinois [if this was a weekend, it most likely woulda been 25,000+]) 19,004
Tuesday (vs. Western Michigan) 16,107

The WMU game started at 8 and didn't end until around 1am.

And to Bull IN Exile, Friday games count because if peolpe live out of town, it is still hard to get there since it is still a work day.
