Sadly, most MAC teams haven't been able to garner 15K on beautiful Saturday afternoons. I watched several of yesterday games on mac-sports.com and was thoroughly entertained.

Watched many games yesterday. All games except MAC games were packed stadiums. MAC games had almost no one in the stands. It is sad.

Gonna be difficult to attend these stupid weeknight games...
And forget about tailgating!
My wife, who attends every game with me, won't be coming because there is nobody to watch our 3 year old on a weeknight.

You obviously did not get to enjoy the beat down Miami was handed last night because there wasn't any angle that would show empty seats in the Glass Bowl (in the 1st half).

The route was on with 28-0 in 2nd quarter.

I was at the NIU-Buffalo game and there were, at most, 5000 in the seats.

You guys do realize that a school can use one of two methods to count attendance.....either butts in the seats or tickets sold.....and actually there is a third acceptable way but using butts in the seats for students and tickets sold for everyone else. Because of this, these attendance numbers are not always going to match what you see as the actual number at the game.

I do realize that Brian. However, I think it's worth noting when there's such a huge discrepancy between announced and actual attendance. That was the case at Buffalo yesterday and is frequently the case at EMU.
