In 2017...ECU "announced" an average attendance of 36,727 per game.

Actual attendance average per game that year: 17,876.

Numerous media reports have noted how ECU's actual numbers were way off from what was being reported.

clt says we had the opposite issue at Charlotte. The event staff were not scanning all fans phones as they entered the stadium.

clt knows we need to continue to grow attendance, but we gotta count all of our fans.

First you try to steal USF's model of using a pro stadium. Now you're stealing Memphis' attendance excuses.

clt says we have an on campus stadium. That will be expanded soon. Unless we can get CFC to play here, it will not be a pro stadium.

Your AD seems to think otherwise. Per him, UNCC signed a deal with BOA for usage so that stadium size/expansion wouldn't be a factor in their AAC application. i.e. I don't think he's in a big hurry.

clt says he was recently on a podcast and said Richardson Stadium is going to be expanded. We have bofa as a backup if construction is an issue or if we want to play there once a year.

Yeah I don't get the haterade. Show me a non-P5 team outside of BYU that can pull 35k with three 3-9 seasons in a row.

I'll take 36K tickets sold all day and twice on Sunday. That was in the middle of a horrible stretch of football. Most G5's would kill for that.

No kidding. ECU’s attendance is a marvel and benchmark for the rest. .

Can we get back to the matter at hand, please? How are we going to save NIU from the MAC?

Do, or do not. There is no “try”.

Rice looks forward to dominating SMU in the AAC like we’ve done at every other stop along the way.

SWC(89-95) 7-0
WAC(96-03) 5-3

SMU be like: but, we haven’t lost to ‘em in ten years!
Enjoy 2022.

Doesn't SMU lead 48-41-1? And SMU hasn't lost to Rice in 9 years

Amazing how we keep poaching your best players.

I only counted from the time I started my graduate work at SMU. Before that was the so-called “pay for play” era.

You’re correct - I was focused on football.
