Homecoming Attendance vs Georgia State

[RaginScotsman]

Homecoming is typically one of the better crowds of the season. Looking at the last 7 years (sans 2020 due to covid.) We've averaged just over 21k. The best crowd being 28, 794 vs. TXST in 2021. That was an 11 am kickoff, by the way.

We can and should break 20k.

Weather looks great, even though it's a bit far out. It's homecoming. The Greeks (please) will be out. We're winning and playing another good team, so the matchup is exciting for those who at least know football.

My Aunt drove over from Ponchatoula to watch my niece her great niece dance. She hit a wooden block on I-10 that might have totaled her car. I went and picked her up and she still wanted to attend the game. She had a great time and liked the stadium and will come back. Lafayette just does not support this University. Never has. My aunt thought the game experience was great as she cheered on the Cajuns.

We don't know what time we play yet correct?

Not officially, but Homecoming is almost always at 4:00, unless ESPN moves it.

I predict 20k if the weather is good!

Less than 20K. Slam dunk.

Tired of trying to guess and worry about attendance. This team, while frustrating at times, is really fun to watch. People are missing out. If we get over 20k for homecoming I will be surprised.

Amen, this team is damn fun to watch, and the rest of the schedule is full of good teams rivalry games.

4-2 at the halfway mark and this team seems to be improving.

Nothing is a guarantee with this team, but to me it looks like Arkansas State, ULM and USM are games we should win, Troy, Ga State and USA are going to be toss ups. If we win the games we are supposed to win (3) and even go 1-2 vs the others, we are in for an 8-4 season.

I think Troy and Georgia State scare me the most. We must win the USM, A-State and ULM games.

My order of toughness for the remaining schedule:

1. Troy
2. Georgia State
3. USA
4. USM
5. Arkansas State
6. ULM

That being said, #5 and #6 always give us tough games.

Hope you are wrong about the 20k, but you're right on about this team.

I'll take it a step further and say I'm about as excited in the Belt as ever. This is a good football conference and I think they rank tops in the "G5."

I always followed what the conference would do but didn't really seek out and watch the games on TV. I found myself doing that more and more the past few years. Even over some of the big games going on at the time nationally.

After homecoming, we have USM and ULM. Those should be somewhat of a draw just by the names, but our schedule overall has started to get a lot more interesting.

I would like to know how much App State fans pay to tailgate around town? It sounds like they allow tailgating to be organic and make their money in sales.

On campus (not sure of parking towers) are pay to play.not sure how much parking is scarce near campus so many fans park for free in various App State lots around Boone and bus (courtesy of App) to campus.

Great breakdown. I can see us going anywhere from 6-6 to 10-2. The 2nd half is gonna be fun!

. . . looks like App may not control the tailgate because there it very limited space on campus to tailgate, so their fans do . . . we have fences . . .

Yep, nothing beats organic.

Look, obviously things still need to roll our way, like staying healthy and pass defense still needs to improve down the stretch.

However, we could finish this season looking back and saying “Man, what if we didn’t drop that ODU game!”.
