Predicting some sparce crowds

I was curious if they'd set up a doubleheader with a late night game when MACtion games were out in Sacramento or not. Guess we have our answer, for now.

Which makes it a 4pm Wednesday afternoon kickoff local time. Odd decision for sure.

Definitely.

But I will say it's far more a midweek thing than a MAC thing. Those CUSA, SB and AAC midweek games I've caught over the past few weeks have been mostly barren as well. And with the luxury of nicer temperatures.

Was going to say the same. Years they aka other g5 have ripped on our maction crowds so glad to see its not solely a mac issue. However I think attendance is down everywhere. Even saturday games I watch have many open seats.
