RE: 2017 Football Attendance: ISU > NIU
We on this board are a microcosm of the that attitudes of Huskie fandom out there. Just as we have expressed, fans are not happy with the weeknight games, only 5 home games, performance of the teams, etc. Thus, they are not showing up. This is when intelligent marketing needs to take over and create some sizzle and excitement. But, we don't have marketing either.
At the last men's BB game, I was talking with a couple true blue (red?) diehard Huskie fans from way back. These guys go to many Huskie FB and BB games, including many away FB games. They both expressed disgust with the way things are going and will be attending fewer games. And these are rabid fans and donors. If they feel this way, is it a wonder that the casual fan reacts the way they do?
Yes, attendance is down all over. But not many teams have experienced such a rapid attendance decline as we have. The reasons are many, as has been discussed on this board. As a whole, the MAC is way down in attendance. Anyone wonder why?
