RE: Week 1 Attendance
Only 19,592 showed up for the North Texas game. That was a little disappointing. But not too bad considering the man-made gas crisis the Dallas/Fort Worth region was facing at the time, and hosting an FCS program. I expect a bigger crowd when UAB plays in Denton in a few weeks.

If we beat Syracuse and Minnesota there might be a decent crowd for Bowling Green. If not, the crowds will be pathetic for the rest of the season. We desperately need a new president, AD, and football coach to breathe some life into this program.

RE: Week 1 Attendance
Are some of you guys just going to have to deal with low attendance? Like WKU? You guys have been doing very good but your attendance is a black eye. We need our top teams getting top attendance numbers.

Until WKU builds it fan base .... it is what it is. WKU found its winning ways so fast that it skipped the part of building a loyal fan base. We have our 10-13k that is loyal as hell, but the rest are fickle. Remember Bowling Green is one of the smalllest population areas in CUSA and the biggest majority are UK fans..... we are building, its just taking time

ODUs game was technically sold out, but the weather kept a few away, and when the rain started pouring the crowd dispersed quickly. I'd guess less than 2000 when the fourth quarter started. Our fans need better rain gear.

Lets see every game is shown on TV...LOCALLY. No dollar or five dollar night. Small population. Poor state. Two national championship and top all time programs (#1 & #6 ) with in 2.5 hours and both state schools.

The only one fighting that last part is UNCC and UAB. neither are figing the other problems of Small population base or every game being shown on live TV

So with that Western is sitting at 83% of butts in seats...17% of a full stadium. Would it look better and be better to fill those other 3900 seats? Sure it would.

But lets see which is more valuable to the conference....

17% of your seats sitting empty and winning 23 games over the last 2 seasons

Or having 4 to 5,000 more fans in the stands in a stadium that is half full and winning 7 or below games each of the last 2 years?

Seats sitting unused mostly only hurt that team. A team losing affects us all...

now out of these two has the larger negative affect on a conference...

1. 17% of your seats going unused and winning

2. 50% of your seats sitting empty even you are averaging 24k in attendance and losing

Lets be honest which do you think the average fan sitting at home watching a game is going to notice as a negative.....

only 18,600 fans in a 22k seat stadium winning
24,000 fans sitting in a half empty stadium losing

Lets just drop the winning or losing .....the average fan does not know or care the total number of butts sitting in those seats. The average fan will see a mostly full to a mostly empty stadium and take notice.

I believe that was our worst home opener crowd since the stadium opened in 1991. A lot of people frustrated that we retained our OC.

True. The lack of changes made after last year's dumpster fire created a lot of apathy.

Here's the crowd for the NSU game. 24K is not bad for a game against an FCS school to open the season. Especially since a lot of Tech folks are waiting until game #2 against Miss State the following week to attend.

What does the Tech stadium hold, 28K? Got a picture of the student/visitor side? I was listening to the game and it sounded like NSU had a decent crowd there. You could clearly hear a very loud cheer when they made a good play.

Yes, it holds about 28K now. There were only about 700 NSU fans in attendance. You can see them on the bottom left corner of this attached pic. The NSU band is in the lower left dressed in white. This pic shows the visitors/LA Tech students side:

As I thought from the sound, NSU had a very good crowd there along with their band. Sometimes scheduling a local FCS is better than a FBS team. At least your fanbase knows them and the FCS school is no different than us FBS schools....

when we go to a P5 we bring a lot more fans than if we are playing say...Ball St. So to those NSU fans they are playing their "super bowl" just as the Tech fans would feel if Tech was playing LSU.

It makes a lot more sense playing a school a hour or so away than scheduling a FCS school 8 hours away.

Maybe, but just need to find a way to a get shot in there you are at the height of your program and you played an in state team and you has less than 20k.
We has 28k for a G-5 school and it shows the potential we have.

03-lmfao Cmon man, the draw of Navy around the country is better than some P5 schools. We have talked about this before on many threads. Hosting a service academy is much better than any G5, really no comparision.

How many were there for Navy 10k?

Not really, I was told it was considerably less than last time in Ruston, max of a 1,000.

I just told ya'll that the NSU crowd was estimated to be approximately 700. That's not great considering NSU is only about 80 miles from Ruston. I think they (the NSU fans) were expecting a real beatdown this time so they stayed home.

That band is at the very least 300 strong and I assume the section next to the band belongs to them also. It is the visitor section and going by this picture (I assume late in the game) they had fans all through that side

I don't have a clue on their numbers but I do know every good play they made it sounded VERY loud...especially for only 700

I could hear the Tech fans yelling in Manhatten KS, when Tech took KState to triple OT. Maybe 300 strong in 50k crowd. The home fans are silent when things aren't going it's way

NSU full band of energetic kids helped with the noise level also.
