"At the end of the day, it's time to show up," Frazier said. "It's not because we're not winning. If you want the Boises of the world to come to Huskie Stadium, the BYUs, you've got to show up."

Maybe it needs to enter their heads that with HALF of our home games being played on weeknights in Nov. that makes a big impact on season tickets sales.
I think attendance has gone down & down thanks to those cold weeknight games.

Does anyone recall, how long have we been doing Nov. weeknight games? what are the corresponding attendance numbers?

That and the younger generations can't look up from their GD phones long enough to truly experience anything.

Agree 100% with everything you've said.

Yea the E$PN deal is not under NIU's control. The crappy OOC scheduling for more than a decade was. Both of them combined I'm sure lost a lot of customers.
