A stadium less than 50% (actually 1/3) full or one 83% full?

Only a idiot will think the average fan sitting watching on TV is going to say...

stadium looks mostly full but only 18,600 there.

The average fan couldn't tell you what either stadium held...nor do they care. But they can see when a stadium is more than half empty. They can see when that team is getting the dog crap beat out of them. That is what matters.

BTW what % of the fans is USTA getting? So you are telling me you are impressed with your school averaging 23,038 in a stadium that Capacity is 72,000 and playing in a city with a Population of 1.493 million

WOW! really impressive. 23k in a 72k stadium with a 1.5million base with in 30 minutes of that stadium to draw from

And you think other teams that plays in a stadium that is 83% full in a city of 60,000 is a problem... talk about rationalization

Relax dude. Geezus. Talk about going overboard. I didn't even read your whole reply.,

Your stadium looks like a lot of our high school fields here. as our other sports facilities look like HS facilities or below too. Yes, regardless I'd rather have a larger number in regards to attendance, 24k vs 16-18k. Because it adds up after years of attendance. It's just common sense. Our city is around 2.6-2.7 million. We have a ton of the population;Cowboys, UT, Baylor, Houston, Texas A&M, Texans, Texas Tech, ect fans. Military here that are from other states. It's a big city meaning there's more than just college football to occupy people with which might be different wherever you live with a pop of 60k. We've had CFB for a few years, so eventually our base will grow & that will turn into 30k+. We have had 3 losing seasons in a row, just think of what happens when we win.

Now who is rationalization & projecting on what ifs? LOL

Again I didn't ask you what you wanted or rather have. That is not the same as the average fan sitting at home watching a game. Lets put this into prospective....

UTSA has 24,000 fans that show up. UTSA has 10 fans on this board and lets say 500 on every USTA board combined. That's around 2% of fans that might actually care or know how many butts are in a stadium. The largest part, just a guess, 22500 of those UTSA couldn't tell you what Western's stadium held or if they guessed they wouldn't come with in 10,000 of the total.

THAT IS THE AVERAGE FAN.....of every fanbase in college football. So again it's not what you want. You asked what those fans watching on TV thought. In my opinion they see a stadium almost full and one 1/2 empty, the half empty one stands out more.

Come this Saturday...I hope Western's stands are just half full. It could be worse than that with the offensive performance we showed last night. Then you can complain.

24,000 in a city of millions
18,600 in a city of 60,000

You need to worry about getting that number up

I told you what I would rather have. Not worried about what you're asking. 24>16. End of story.

What you rather have is not the same as you asked. How do those people sitting at home view 18,800 in a 23,000 seat stadium. I put that in context for you..

87% full stadium looks OK on TV
33% full stadium looks almost empty

24,000 out of 2 or 3 million to draw from in a state that is in love with FB
18,600 out of 60,000 to draw from in a state that is in love with BB

If you are going to call me into a argument....what you what, wont, win it. Not even if you go changing it and making excuse after excuse after excuse. Like we all don't have those
